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 typically don't care much about getting spoiled, but I'm trying to avoid it for this movie, which is making the whitefont quite entertaining.
I like my Captain America "on your left."
He was one of my favourite superheroes growing up, despite the fact that the only superhero more obviously connected to a particular kind of American mythmaking was Super President. (Actually, I also quite liked Super President.) Perhaps this is why, because it's actually fairly easy to align him with a more Niebuhresque vision of American exceptionalism.
I saw the movie in 3D and liked it, but it's not necessary. I saw Captain America in 3D and wanted to see Winter Solider the same way.
With Jenny Agutter I thought
omigod! who is this woman kicking ass! She's a sleeper agent. Has she been given some kind of serum, what's her backstory. And then it was Natasha which makes sense but still it would have been cool. Like Helen Mirren in RED and REDS. Now I want Helen Mirren in a Marvel movie.
Marvel schedules Captain America 3 to open the weekend as Batman v Superman: [link]
AKA Marvel tells DC "Neener neener neener".
I thought I read somewhere (io9, maybe?) that one of them will end up moving their date. (Or that may have been speculation that someone posted. But it sounds right to me. I can't imagine them both opening the same weekend.)
Oh man...wait a second, didn't Marvel already do something like this? I thought they'd already scheduled something on top of
Batman vs. Superman,
or did that already happen, and then they moved their release date, and Marvel scheduled on top of them again?
I suppose Marvel might move their date at a later point to avoid conflict and maximize profits. But with the trend of decisions publicly announced about the
Man of Steel
sequel so far, DC might just double down by following the Cap movie to the new date and revealing that Shaq, Olivia DeHavilland, and Gilbert Gottfried have been cast as Marvin, Wendy, and Wonderdog.
Ha, the movie has inspired a (spoilery) meme.
I CAN FINALLY BE IN THIS THREAD!
Man, staying off the internets is HARD, yo.
Mostly, I'm all Less Than Three about it.

The sloth is AWESOME.
Saturday night we were watching the old Wonder Woman TV show, and for some reason there were (whitefonting because the description could lead people who haven't seen CA2 yet to put 2 and 2 together)
Nazis (despite it being the 1970s) who cloned Hitler
(I am not even joking about that shit).
Wonder Woman and Steve infiltrated, like they do, and
clone!Hitler was delivering a rousing speech,
which made me keep yelling
"Hail Hydra!"
at the TV. But I wasn't even CLOSE to being as cute as that sloth.
