Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I meant criminals in the "the climax of the movie is all the bosses getting arrested" sense.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I thought the movie ended with Gordon Gekko arrested for insider trading. That's a crime regardless of how one feels about high finance.

Anyway, Wikipedia says I am right, in that Jordan Belfort inspired both movies. [link]

Gingerhaze, who had awesome smart-ass Avengers comics (and LotR comics, as well as many other fandoms, including Sleepy Hollow, now that I think about it) also has been doing Hunger Games comics: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Maybe Statham…..with a mullet-wig?
From the review of Homefront:
Genre fans should get a kick out of the opening scene, which depicts Broker’s final undercover operation and has Statham donning a long-haired wig and an American accent.

So, I finally saw Great Gatsby last night (yes, I'm catching up on a lot of movies).
Was I supposed to like any of those characters? Because I didn't.
