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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Magneto went on the train that was carrying the Sentinels and basically infused them with metal.

And the post-credit scene refers to the next movie, which it looks like will be Apocalypse. He's a long-time adversary in the comics.

Thanks, Dana.

Last scene with Logan so I saw he was in Stryker's custody, and went, "Fuuuck!", then saw it was Mystique and it changed to "WTF?"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So regarding that last scene - I guess in the New!Future, he doesn't have an adamantium skeleton?

That's at least part of what I was wondering.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Matt, I just saw it and completely agree that there was not enough monster and far too much human in Godzilla.

Kinda disappointed.

Next weekend will be my chance to see XMen: DOFP. I hope it's better.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Just came back from seeing The Immigrant, which completely knocked my socks off. Marion Cotillard's face, I can't even.

Godzilla -- surprised by an early death. At least I didn't get spoiled for it.

From now on, if Bryan Cranston has an on-screen son, I'm referring to him as Malcolm, no matter what he's actually called.

IMO, it is better, but I still didn't really like the movie. There is so little of the mature Magneto that it is a film crime.

I think Captain America 2 spoiled me for these summer movies.

I think that could have been at least partially mitigated if the human the movie had centered on had been the one played by Bryan Cranston or Ken Watanabe, or even David Straithairn for that matter. Having the viewpoint character be someone with an idea of what was going on, with a real reason to show up at each of the sites where the monsters appeared would have worked wonders. As would having said character played by an older actor with real charisma and, y'know, talent.

The way things played out, they better buy a really big birthday cake for Sam's 5th since giant monsters apparently show up for every important milestone in that family's life.
