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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It did. We always stay. I think it's slightly more common in L.A., where people you might know are going to be in those credits--or at least people who do the same job as someone you might know. So, it's a respect thing.

Didn't Ferris Bueller even have a post-credit scene? Where he peers out and says "Why are you people still here?"

I want to say that's where the post-credits scene gained traction (but I honestly don't know; I just remember it as being something that other movies didn't really do). And the reason people stayed through the credits to even see the post-credits scene in Ferris Beuller is because the credits were a split scene with an ongoing scene on the school bus, so people stuck around and watched.

Because we stay for the credits, when we saw the recent True Grit, Tim noticed "Honey Wagon" in the credits (the job title, not a person's name). He looked it up and thought it was the best thing ever, and so he always looks for it in credits now, even for movies that were not shot on location in the damn frontier. It makes me laugh.

Whereas I (and I know I've said this before) now expect Nick Fury to be in every movie's post-credit sequence EVER. Veronica Mars? Nick Fury. Judd Apatow dudebro movies? Nick Fury. Animated movies? You damn bet we need an animated Nick Fury.

Speaking of credits, apparently a great deal of CA:WS was filmed in Ohio. Who knew?

A chunk of Avengers was filmed in Cleveland, too. (To answer your question: this Ohioan knew!)

I went for drinks the other day with two women from Cleveland. They were very aware, and cranky about, the movie being filmed there. Apparently it really screwed with traffic for a while.

I heard about that. I'm always amazed at how movies/television shows can film in any urban location without snarling everything up. Or maybe they do snarl everything up, but the production is good for the local economy, so they deal?

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

Joss actually apologized to Seoul for fucking everything up while he filmed.

To answer your question: this Ohioan knew!

I wondered - since I've been given the impression that Cleveland and Cincinnati are worlds apart, I wasn't sure whether THIS Ohioan knew.

When we were on the double-decker tour bus in NYC, we passed a film location. It did jack up traffic some (though in NYC slow traffic didn't seem that surprising) but us tourists got a charge from seeing a movie set. I suppose the locals were probably less charmed.

They are, but I'm a nerd, so I know these things. I couldn't really tell you what else goes on in Cleveland these days, but I had read about CA2 and Avengers filming there. (I guess that's more nerdgirl knowledge and less Ohioan knowledge.)

Well, while CA:WS was being filmed, their traffic was screwed six ways to Sunday, I can tell you that. :)
