It's true!
The first part is the best.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

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.

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

Watched part of "thoroughly Modern Millie" for tonight's workout. While I cannot recommend the movie as a whole, Julie Andrews singing "Mazeltov" at a Jewish wedding is one of the funniest scenes ever. She also looks like she was having a ball
Why don't I rec the movie in spite of having some great numbers?
1) Horribly racist stereotypes of Chinese are too key a part of the plot to ignore. In 1967 there was no fucking excuse
2) Horribly padded. When I first saw the run time of the movie, I thought that time has to include commercials. Nope. It opens with an instrumental overture, played over a static title card of no great interest. I did not time it. But it feels like it lasts for ten minutes. Just about every scene was spoiled by running too long. Somebody refused to allow footage to land on the cutting room floor or save them for an outtakes reel where they belonged.
I admit, Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore worked wonderfully well together. And no, their interactions did not rise to a level of sweetness that would aggravate my diabetes.
There is a sickeningly sweet ending. But the fault for that lies with the writers, not the acting.
3) Gender roles are ummm not awesome. Though they do use the tangled plot as an excuse to get James Fox into drag.

As CA:TWS is leaving the last second run place, I have finalized my in-theatre total as of this afternoon, and my tally is 17.
(It would be 19, but I managed to miss two adult playdates to see it over the last month.)
A non-trivial number of those viewings have been since I had a perfectly cromulent digital copy.
That tweet was perfection.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is amazing. Even more so if you compare to Andy Dwyer from Parks & Rec -- the guy in that picture can grow up to be Starlord no problem. Andy? NSM.

I'm glad to see he was able to find someone who could exorcise the spirit of Leif Garrett after that photo was taken.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I finally got around to watching Winter Soldier (which was awesome!), but in reading the comments here from back in April, I saw this:
Didn't Ferris Bueller even have a post-credit scene? Where he peers out and says "Why are you people still here?"
So, I know this is five months late, but THE MUPPET MOVIE, PEOPLE! I always felt that Ferris was riffing on Animal.

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.
An acquaintance of mine was ranting on Facebook a few months ago about how Captain America was giant douche and whatnot. Myself and a couple others defended Cap, but she didn't understand the appeal.
I just got a message from her that she watched Cap 2 the other day, and now she gets it.
