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

Conversation at work turned to movies, me correctly identifying Paul Bettany in Wimbledon even though I'd never seen it, which turned into a rec to watch it because if I thought he was cute, I should watch this flick. OMG, I'm 40 minutes in and even that has been a trial. Give me Dean/Cas AU tennis slash fic instead, please.

Also watched Bronson, as part of my Tom Hardy kick. He was fucking brilliant in it. TH really disappears into his characters, and not just with his body transformations (I still can't believe that he was the kid in Saving Private Ryan).

But I don't think I got out of it what the director wanted me to. There was an interview where he kept talking about a transformation, an autobiography, homosexuality. But in the end, all I saw was ignorant misery.

I'm not sure if my tastes have changed or if I just wasn't in the right mood....

My tolerance for Keanu Reeves has always been and will always be very high, and yet Dracula is one of three movies where I've seriously considered walking out of the theater because it was so bad.

Those are fightin' words.

Okay, no, they're not. I know the Coppola Dracula is a trainwreck. But it's a super-pretty trainwreck!

In this we are opposites. I have very little Keanu tolerance.

I wanted to like it, really I did.

Seekrit message to SuziQ: I'm ignoring you.

As are Jess and Juliana I'm sure.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think the answer is clear: there need to be a TON of vids: using the pretty, and saving us from the rest of it. Sadly, that skillset is still on my "to be developed" list.

Response to megan (Jess and Juliana): All the more Keanu for you. I'm being generous. You should thank me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

runs in, gathers the Keanu, runs back out

HEY!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think you meant to say, "WHOA!"
