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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I mean, SOMEBODY has to point out to Legolas that his dad is being a ginormous Elf-tool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I never had a beef with Badass Lady Elf. My nerd outrage has other triggers.

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

I am 100% Team Badass Lady Elf.

Concur. Evangeline is better at than Liv was too.

She was delightful on TDS, also.

Doesn't here name show up somewhere else in LotR? Or am I thinking Silmarillion?

As far as I know, PJ made her up.

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

Her name is definitely from somewhere because an MDS poster had that username long before she was a thing.

I'm watching Iron Man 3 here at work--yay, RedBox at the supermarket!--and it's holding up better on a second goround, now that I'm familiar with the emotional beats they're attempting. Though I still think Tony and Pepper have too much bad tension between them for it to work (and has nothing to do with my overconsumption of Tony/Steve fic).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Joan Fontaine just died. She was 96.

Eleanor Parker, Peter O'Toole and now Joan Fontaine in one week? Sad time for classic movie fans.

I used to love Fontaine and her roaster of innocents with their nervous sweetness. Constant Nymph, Letter from an Unknown Woman, Rebecca, Suspicion and I guess, her take on Jane Eyre as well (minus the backbone). Way more typecast than her sister, poor dear, and I think she rebelled against that in later period of her career? She had such a face.
