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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

PERFECT.
They could be related (or not) in a million ways--is there more info?
Yeah, I guess I don't understand the question.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That was some excellent meta, Dana.

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.
That was some excellent meta, Dana.
Agreed.
There's some pics of Hawkeye in Avengers 2 online and I suspect some folks here are going to be very unhappy with his new costume. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe he's heard about the Hawkeye Initiative.

Assuming that a great movie can be made about Superman (i.e. he does not suck), what would you put in it? Clearly the audience can stomach Super Boy Scout, because both Cap movies have been good and profitable. Is it really the perceived lack of weaknesses that messes them up? Also clearly he's been sustaining multiple titles for a very long time, as well as having good animated depictions--is he just niche and for superhero fans, not "normal" people?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My favorite Superman stories tend to focus on the fact that Clark Kent is an alien who can never be a true part of humanity, yet he is devoted to protecting humanity. The world is afraid of him and wants to kill him, but he doesn't care: he still loves them because he believes they can be better. It's his whole self-sacrificing Super Jesus thing he's got going on.
And for me, the first half of Man of Steel was close to the sort of character-focused, Clark-focused movie I would want, and then it turned into DESTROY EVERYTHING WHATEVER HUMANS.

Superman actually has a lot going on, IMO. Clark is essentially three people: the bumbling mild-mannered reporter, the "Real Clark" that only his family and loved ones see and then Superman, the living symbol of truth and justice. The one who saves the world and inspires people to do their parts. Who hides his doubts and his fears because he needs to reflect the faith of those he is protecting.
Fake Clark and Superman each dress their part, while Real Clark is tied to the people he is with rather than what he's wearing.
Or something like that. I've re-written this several times and still don't feel like I'm getting my point across right.
