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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Getting caught up here, I actually enjoyed Thor 2 quite a bit. I think Thor has the best extended cast of the assorted Marvel movies.

And the Cap cameo was one of the funniest things I've seen all year.

Way behind on movies in general. I just picked up Pacific Rim when Amazon had it for crazy cheap this weekend. Hopefully I can find time to watch it soon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hiddleston said that he had played Loki pretending to be Cap, and Chris Evans watched the tape of it and modeled his performance on it, so what we got was not Evans playing Cap, but Evans pretending to be Loki pretending to be Cap. Which is totally different.

Well, I knew he wasn't actually playing Cap as Cap.

I know Hiddleston is really good at doing impressions, so the idea of Evans basing his performance on doing an impression of an impression doesn't surprise me, though it's still fun.

I saw Kill Your Darlings yesterday. Interesting to see a Beat Generation-themed movie that was centered on Ginsberg rather than Kerouac or Cassady. I was a bit thrown off by them showing him infatuated with Lucien Carr though; I thought they were just friends and it was Cassady that Ginsberg had a big crush on.

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

I want to see that one, Matt. Back in the day we would have called it "grad school trash" a la Gothic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was a bit thrown off by them showing him infatuated with Lucien Carr though; I thought they were just friends and it was Cassady that Ginsberg had a big crush on.

That's my take, but Ginsberg was so repressed and crushing on those around him, and Lucien was quite pretty.

(Note for grad school trash fanciers: Lucien's son Caleb Carr wrote The Alienest.)

Have some patience: it gets better as it goes along.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Holy shit, yeah. I agree. The first minute or so is okay, but then it's consistently awesome, and by the end, I had feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
