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.

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.

Just that the previews annoyed me. Partially because it's an E.T rip-off.

Ok. I was wondering if there was some controversy I had missed. The better half wants to take our son to see it. They'll probably catch a matinee while I'm at work since I have zero interest.

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

We're seeing Earth to Echo at a WGA screening this weekend, so if it's any good I'll let folks know. I personally hated ET with a white hot heat (I think I was too old when it came out and the overt manipulations were too evident), so I am heading into this redux with no real expectations either way.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm immediately turned off by the found footage vibe, but that is all.

It also just suddenly hit me that if you really want an emotional connection with an alien creature, best stick to practical effects 100%, at least with the alien character. But I'm old school like that. Give me my Jim Henson Creature Shop, gorramit (I don't know what the Farscape swear for that is)!

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

yeah, I think I'm over "found footage" genre. It was fun the first 3 times.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The trailer I saw reminded me more of *batteries not included

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, Bucky is in Black Swan.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Just saw a 17-minute preview of Guardians of the Galaxy in IMAX 3-D with Calli and my other neighbors. That definitely had the intended effect: I can't wait!

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

The preview says "ET meets Wall-E" which is pretty much what the poster looks like..

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Armageddon is nigh: folks on Tumblr have discovered the The Apple. Tho' I cannot disagree with the observation that Bibi sports the fashion taste of a lot of Tumblr posters.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That... might actually be enough to get me to look at Tumblr again.
