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.
I agree with Lee too.
I watched the VM movie on Amazon and was actually glad I couldn't wait to see it on the big screen, which I'll do when my fellow local 'mallows are back in town.
I was glad because I actually screeched out loud a couple of times and would have embarrassed myself in a crowd.
I loved everything about it, even the change in the theme song which I originally loathed when I heard the separate audio for it. In the film, it was super clever.
Must confess that the main storyline was less interesting to me than the b-story. I hope all the dangling threads end up equally another film.
Having just recently binge watched the entire series, I caught tons of throwbacks. One I did not pin to the series was the
"You should only wear this"
line. Was that a throwback?
The instant bust around the
Clint Eastwood lie
was hilarious. I'd have thought it would make V more careful, but NO. Caution, thy name is not VM.
Randomly...love me some Leo!
I expected the
Dax Shepherd
cameo, but was surprised by
Justin Long
. I'm going to have to rewatch because I suspect _everyone_ in the background is connected in some way.
I don't think that line was a throwback, bonny. It didn't ring any bells for me, and I just mainlined the whole series again, too.
There was a lot of hand-clapping and "eeeeeee" noises on my couch, too, but S. just nodded and patted my knee. He did enjoy it, though -- he thought it was a lot of fun, and he never watched more than a few episodes of the first season in first run.
Thanks Amy. I'll stop wracking my brain.
Though I can't see it from the non-fan perspective, it does seem like a general crowd pleaser, what with the snark and the whizbang.
Much as I wish he had turned into a good guy, I was charmed by
Vinnie's
on-going sleezoidness.
Two more things:
1) They aren't implying that
Mac quit her incredibly lucrative job at Kane Megacorp,
right? That would make her less useful in future...
Which leads me to 2) So,
Ex-Mrs. Kane shoots our beloved and never gets mentioned again
? That don't seem right.
Maybe that's the plot for the next movie.
Bonus last thing...I could think of a dozen or thirty things I'd have enjoyed more than the last thing before the credits.
Is he somebody's brother in law or something?
I just watched it and it was fun. Sucked me right back into Logan and Veronica. Love Keith with an undying passion. And Weevil. Mac was hot and Wallace was…Wallace that I love!
I thought the figure of a Deputy, silhouetted that made Keith and Sacks rabbit pretty much implicated the Sheriff's department. But, that is another story that I hope we see.
I have not mainlined the series. I haven't seen it since it went off the air, but I really loved seeing everybody again. Piz was definitely Verionica's Riley.
And I am becoming a James Franco fan. Never thought that would happen!
Love seeing Ira and his gang, too.
I was glad because I actually screeched out loud a couple of times and would have embarrassed myself in a crowd.
Pretty much the whole theater gasped/shrieked when
Gia was shot.
And there was an amusing collective sound of approval for Deputy Leo.
People who saw it in the theater: did you have a full house? We did, at a 7:30 Saturday showing. Also, was there applause at the end of the movie? Because NO ONE applauded...until Tim started it. Then people applauded. Yay Tim!
And he liked the movie and had no trouble following it, even though he only has seen the pilot.
VM: Was there any indication as to who
won the Sheriff election at the end of the series? I was assuming
Vinnie,
but then when he finally
appeared, there was no mention of it.
Huh, that's true. Maybe
his tenure did not last long once Brother Lamb got into town.
