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.

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

I loved Dead Again when I saw it many years ago. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, though.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

The kiss after Branaugh puts the ankle braclet on Thompson was a thing of beauty.

And so was Andy Garcia (the young version).

I recently rewatched the awful Jennifer 8 for the pretty.

Our wings are not tired.

Charlie Jane Anders

My first time seeing her was at a Writers with Drinks thing at the Make-Out room. P-C, were you by chance there? It was to see Stephanie (Keckler) read from a recap. We had dinner first across the street...

I wasn't there, but I met Keckler for lunch at the Ferry Building a year or two ago. I met Charlie Jane at WonderCon (and I also ran into her after the Terminator Salvation screening).

“Not dead yet!”

Oh, the young Andy Garcia was, indeed, quite beautiful. I will watch The Untouchables every single time it's on, for that reason alone.

Gotcha. It was in 2003, I think. Quite a while ago! When she and Mark first moved out from Massachusetts.

“Not dead yet!”

When Branaugh says he's quit, Williams responds to the effect of "No you haven't. Look, you're either a smoker or you're not. Pick one and be that."

Which was then beautifully countered by when he sees Andy Garcia's character inhaling off the cigarette through his trach box. What does he say? "Keep 'em. I just quit."

Always Anti-fascist!

I just(or rather, finally) saw Marie Antoinette. Lovely to gaze at, but at the same time, I had one thought: "Como se dice Medellin en frances? Marie Antoinette!" Except Ms. Dunst did not look like Tony Clifton. Ari Gold was right...a sexy trailer can hide a lot of shit.OTOH, I should have known a Best Costuming winner would never, um, blow my skirt up.

I love The Untouchables! For the pretty that is Andy Garcia, the fun that is Charles Martin Smith, and the awesomeness that is Sean Connery. NSM for Kevin Costner--just about anyone could have played Ness at the same level if not better than he did.

He really blew the delivery of the big speech to the judge at the end of the film, when he says (IIRC), "I have become what I have beheld, and I am content to have done so." That was a key statement for Elliot Ness, and he buried it in the midst of the rest of the monologue.

Then I definitely wasn't there! I moved here in 2006. And aha, I met Keckler on February 18, 2007. I have not seen her since, sadly.
