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.

You all know that the soundtracks used in trailers are often not the soundtrack used in the movie, right? It's very common to cut a trailer to a piece of music from a pre-existing score.

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

I know that. Still curious as to what the music is.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Also known as the Jilli points at the screen and goes "Hey, that's the music from Dracula!" or "They're reusing that Danny Elfman piece again?" effect.

This phenomenon has spread to the Midwest, infecting a tall, handsome fellow who will, upon hearing the notes from any score, stop, listen for a few bars, and then declare the name of the composer. With 95% accuracy.

We finally saw Hobbit: Hey, It's a Dragon! yesterday. That was ... very bloated. My main reaction was that I want all of Thrandul's clothes (or at least the fabric), and makeup/skincare products.

Also, I made the mistake of opening my eyes ONCE during the Mirkwood spiders scene (I heard elves! I thought the spiders were gone!), right when one of them leapt at someone. I NEVER NEED TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE FROM THAT SCENE, EVER EVER EVER.

Tho' Pete said he thought Shelob was much creepier. Whatever, still don't need to see anything from it.

Yes, Shelob was worse. But sheer numbers make up for it.

Jilli,

I am glad you made it through, I nearly screamed in the theater.
