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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Art Crawl!!!
I can't see it until after my next payday.
You guys spend lots of money seeing it multiple times so it will still be here - okay?
(It would be the 3rd weekend. . . )

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think it's safe to say it'll be in theaters for at least a month.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I do have to wonder why Steve thought hiding the jump drive in a vending machine with a giant window was a good idea. Are villains not allowed to carry small bills in the MCU? "The secret McGuffin would be mine if only I had change for a 50. Curse you, Captain America!"

Goyer Reveals WB Doesn’t Have A DC Gameplan.
Well, that's interesting.
“I mean, it’s too early. I know that Warner Bros. would love to make their universe more cohesive. There have been a lot of general conversations about that, but it’s really, really early. I’m not sure. It’s just been vague conversations so far”

Yeah, Marvel wasn't saying it was too early when they started plotting. This is why they're pulling it off, and you guys are taking about talking about it.

Is hte Marvel Comics universe more cohesive than the DC one? I don't know DC well enough. I know the Avengers and the X-Men run into each other all the time, and Spider-Man swings through (heh) wherever he wants.
Then again, Superman and Batman are besties.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I get the impression that Warner/DC is far more mired in politics and power plays than Disney/Marvel.
Marvel went and created its own movie studio specifically to insulate itself from the other studios and to have complete control over its IP, and they hired competent filmmakers to get the job done.
DC, on the other hand, is a subsidiary of the movie studio. The people in charge of DC have absolutely no power to get anything done, and they really don't know anything about making movies anyway, so they're at the mercy of producers and directors who probably don't understand the franchises very well.
Which is how they made a Superman film that was, you know, the opposite of Superman.
And this is probably going to get even worse as DC moves its offices from NYC to Burbank over the next couple of years.

They are both equally incoherent because comics, but I tend to think of Marvel as more cohesive myself since they seem to have a better handle on their multiverse and didn't, you know, explode it all that one time. And then reboot everything later.
Also, with Marvel, a loooooot of superheroes live in New York, so they're always running into each other.

I've always been amused at the tangles Marvel gets into while trying not to do a fullscale reset to zero.
