Oh yeah? I forgot about that.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

Had you read it, Sean? Because, yeah, they're all pretty loathesome.

No! I do kinda want to. And I'm impressed with Baz Luhrmann for making a movie about characters I didn't like, but that was still interesting and engaging.

I did that last week!

I'm assuming we weren't supposed to. No, I've never read the book. But DAMN the movie was sparkly. Which is pretty much what I watched it for, so I was happy.

Man, I always assume Gatsby is a "spinach" book that you're forced to read in high school. Yeah, these are not likable people, no matter how pretty they are. Tom and Daisy? Shallow, vapid, and loathesome. Jordan? Sociopath. Gatsby? Creepy, dodgy, and delusional. Nick is just...boring. And sad, because he doesn't realize how awful everyone else is.
