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

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.

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

"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.)

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Zach Synder, UGH. I would be otherwise psyched to see Wonder Woman on the big screen, but I just can't with Snyder.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, geez. I really want to see WW on the big screen, in a good role in a good movie, ideally HER OWN movie. But in a Zach Snyder movie, played by an actress that, sorry, I can't see giving the impression of the necessary physical strength...yeah, I'm not thrilled. Maybe they'll surprise me.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Pete made the comment that the snippet shown from F+F didn't give any indication that the actress could act; I pointed out that with Zach Snyder directing, it didn't matter. He conceded the point.

She was actually pretty awesome in the Fast & Furious movie, though I think she's a bit too slender for the Diana role.
Jaime Alexander and Lynn Collins would have been my top choices for the role.
