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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I really, really hope I get to Snowpiercer this week. Damn that movie looks like the bomb. And only in the BO sense because Harvey buried the damn thing.

Saw Fault In Our Stars because cousin wanted to, which was mostly pleasing and didn't play to too many Young People Dying Early cliches.
Except that my Mom was on oxygen for the last couple years of her life and it was a Big Deal to plan out how much oxygen to take along on a trip, or in daily life, and most of all, either the machine or the tanks made a constant hissing sound.
At least it seemed to be a sincere try, and I can't fault the actors doing their best.

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.
Finally took the boy to see How to Train Your Dragon 2, today. He really enjoyed it, though he bawled for 5 minutes straight after the scene we were discussing earlier.
Of course, when we asked him about it after the movie he said he was crying because Drogo stole Toothless so even if we had warned him ahead of time, it would have been for the wrong trauma. Go figure.

Finally caught Chef this weekend. It was very enjoyable in and of itself. Then there was the food porn. That grilled cheese sandwich pretty much had me moaning, and it got better fom there. Good stuff.

I really enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon 2: the Neville Longbottoming of Hiccup. However I do think that I liked Hiccup better as outcast than as Hero of the Last Several Years. And Toothless' several new abilities, including the ability to resist the ice-dragon and rule the other dragons, were a bit too dragonus ex machina for me.
All that said, the animation is lovely.
Although there's proof I'm an environmentalist: I kept trying to figure out how this ecosystem could support quite so many apex predators, especially since they apparently didn't feed the sheep to the dragons...

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

heh. I felt they were whitewashing the sheep issue, but didn't mention it to the kids.
As for Toothless, my take on it was that his ability to resist came from the fact that he had bonded so strongly to his Hiccup, and likewise his rise to Alpha came simply from the fact that he had resisted. I was okay with all that since it gives kids a way to represent the difference between power over and power with.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This weekend was the lowest grossing July 4 weekend since 1999.
What is it with this Summer? There's seriously been nothing I've been interested in seeing since May, and probably nothing until Guardians is released in August.

Tom, seriously! There's nothing good out this summer. Captain America was the best movie of the year. I enjoyed Edge of Tomorrow but it doesn't seem to be making the kind of money they probably thought it would. What else is there? Did they really think Transformers and Dragons 2 would be the summer blockbusters?
