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.

Wow, I thought for sure that rumor would never turn out to be true.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, crap. Now I may have to see it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Phew! It might just be worth seeing now

Well, crap. Now I may have to see it.

That was my reaction too.

So... anybody seen Malificent yet?

I really enjoyed it. The costumes and makeup were great, and I would have considered it worth the price of admission to stare at Angelina Jolie for an hour and thirty-eight minutes.

It's getting a lot of mixed reviews, but I have a feeling that it might be due to how explicitly feminist a movie it is.

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

IO9 reviews it as disappointingly anti-feminist, FTR. [link]

What I've seen is disappointment that she doesn't get to be just a woman who did bad from her own reasons. She has to have an angsty backstory and a Man Who Done Her Wrong.
