Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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

And this deserves its own post...THE LEGO MOVIE. OMG you guys. SO SO good. Over on FB I described it as Toy Story meets The Matrix. Hilarious from start to finish, great action scenes, and a really astounding level of detail in the animation. It almost looks like stop-motion.

The voice casting is spot-on. Allison Brie...wow. She's not in the trailers (I don't think), but the character she plays is perfect. Will Arnett's Batman is also amazing. 1980's-something Space Guy may be the only time I've ever liked Charlie Day. (I didn't hate him in Pacific Rim but he was my least favorite thing about that film.)

I think I need to see it again to catch all the background jokes I missed the first time around.

Highly recommend for all ages.

The previews looked like it was one of those "You'll only get everything if you're a geek" movies.

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

So glad to hear that, Jessica. We are all looking forward to that movie.

DAMN. The soundtrack doesn't come out until Feb 4! I kind of need to have "Everything Is Awesome" in my earphones RIGHT NOW.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jessica,

the ads don't do the movie justice. Maybe I need to peep this out then.

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

R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman what the fuck.

I always liked him in stuff.

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

He had undergone treatment for drug addiction in the past, and spoke in interviews about “falling off the wagon” last year after remaining clean for 23 years.

23 years. Geez.

Seriously. I had no idea. You never really "recover" from addiction, do you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

In a completely selfish reaction - I don't think he was done filming "Mockingjay ptII".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Nope. You're always an addict; you're just a sober one.
