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.

The Other Woman, a (bad) chick flick with 3 female leads, incredibly fails to pass the Bechdel Test.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've seen commercials for that lately, and I would have guessed that just based on the commercials. It looks SO BAD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I figured since they were all on the poster without him they might find a common point without him--like the weather? Prada? The royal baby?

Nothing?

So, after Winter Soldier came out, the internet was quickly full of the Hail Hydra meme (I can't remember how long to whitefont, so I'm doing it just in case).

Which is, you know, kind of funny, depending on the subject material. But it's also been done about a billion times, so it got old pretty fast.

Until I saw this: [link] Which is made of awesome.

(And also, an actual Hail Hydra scene from the movie, with the meme subverted: [link] which is pretty damn funny.)

Tep, have you seen the crossover idea that Troy and Abed were both working for SHIELD, and that's why the only thing working in Fury's SUV was the AC?

I keep thinking about that and cracking up.

Yes! That's kind of awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is hilarious!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

PM,

I am going to chuckle about that for days.

As much as I really enjoyed the first Amazing Spider-Man movie, I am oddly ambivalent about the second one. Why? Too many villains is a problem (Spider-Man 3, I am looking at you, although that was FAR from your only problem). Harry Osborne troubles me (to be fair, that's probably because I thought James Franco was fantastic as Harry in the Raimi movies). And -- I'm not spoiled, just a Spidey reader from way back -- Gwen Stacy's fate is to be fridged, and I don't actually want to see that (assuming it happens, which the trailers seem to hint pretty strongly at).

All that said, I'll still probably see it this weekend.

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 had mixed feelings about ASM. It had things I liked better than the Raimi films (mechanical web-shooters, wise-cracks, Gwen) and stuff I didn't (deciding to drop/skirt past iconic elements of his origin, the fact the Gwen and Peter's relationship mostly involved them mumbling incoherently at each other). I think if you blended the best of both ASM and SM1 you'd have the best solo super hero movie ever.

My reservations about ASM 2 are pretty much identical to yours, Steph.
