Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

Michel Gondry film is Michel Gondry-y: [link]

Gondry and Wes Anderson should switch off and direct each other’s films, and see if anyone notices.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Uh oh.

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

Yeah, that doesn't sound good. Unless Cornish takes the mantle.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

They have different flavors of twee.

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

::clap clap::

A friend of mine was in XM:DOFP. He played one of the reporters (that's his day job) towards the end of the pandemonium when Magneto rips the bunker out and drops the stadium over the White House (nice move!) he's one of the talking heads. Like chin to hairline, whole head. Freaked the fuck out of me (like he did in Nine Whole Yards) just appearing at a not particularly tense part of the movie and making me gasp.

Last time I checked, for his day job he has a drive time radio show in Toronto, so he's not exactly waiting tables in the 15 years between movies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Dear filmmakers, movie named Godzilla, not Ford "Forrest Gump" Brody's Incredibly Monster-centric World Tour.

I was well entertained whenever the camera focused on the title character. Unfortunately, it seemed as if the other hundred minutes or so the director thought it would be more interesting to pan away and concentrate on Aaron Taylor-Johnson's flat affect and amazing ability to survive being repeatedly almost stepped on instead.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I saw X-Men: DOFP past today. Loved it, but I need two things explained to me.

How does Magneto control the robots when it was said earlier that they don't have any metal in them ?

And explain the post credit scene to me.
