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 am the fly who dreams of the spider

Not that I'm invested in Wonder Woman, but that lady has rather a skinny face /peanut gallery

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, my wistful thought was that I remembered when Supes and Wonder Woman wore red and blue.

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.

It honestly feels like DC is going "Our only movies that do well are the Batman movies. So we need to make everyone more like Batman."

Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Or...."How do we distinguish ourselves from Marvel? Well, their movies are super fun, so let's not do that, OK?"

Superheroes are serious bizness.

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

I think the movie is going to be a trainwreck and I'm kind of pissed off about it.

Yeah, it was goofy enough when it was Batman vs. Superman. Now it's pretty much most of the Justice League, but still, in theory, about Batman beating up Superman, because for whatever reason they can't do a Batman and Superman story without re-hashing The Dark Knight Returns.

Hey. New board.

I am past being passed about DC movies. I simply don't care anymore.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And yet Arrow is doing gangbusters. (And the Flash show looks promising.) How are their movies so sadmaking (the Nolan Batmovies notwithstanding [although fun they are not]) and Arrow so good?

I think it's the salmon ladder.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Marvel movies are awesome; Marvel TV shows are OK; Marvel animation sucks.

DC Animation is awesome; DC TV shows are good; DC movies suck.

Thus, the balance of the universe is maintained.
