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.

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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
::sticks a fork in it::
Nah, still pink in the middle.
So, I have been craving Plunkett and McLeane for years now. After reccing it to a friend after discussing JLM's turn in Frankenstein, I looked it up again. No go on Hulu, Netflix, or iTunes. I'm at the point of buying the damned DVD, but first, is there another source or two that I've overlooked for a rental? And dear dog, why is it not readily available? Robert Carlyle! Johnny Lee Miller! Liv Tyler! Great music! Costumes!
Also, I rewatched Mansfield Park because I got confused about Gosford. Still, I really did feel for Crawford. He was a sad self-fulfilling prophesy. Got doubted because of his wicked ways, and when spurned when sincere, he reverted to his wicked ways, which just seemed to validate his distrustfulness, and yet I believe that if the leap of faith had been given, he would have been true. Like, I totally would have been happy if Fanny had married him. It didn't feel like one of those romcom courtships where the viewer is all "oh, he's totally wrong for her" and you can never quite get behind the love triangle or the second choice.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Robert Carlyle! Johnny Lee Miller! Liv Tyler! Great music! Costumes!
Alan Cumming! Never forgetting Alan Cumming.

The music that launched a hundred trailers with Hanging and Escape. Maybe I'll buy it as my Santa Swap gift and smuggle it back to myself, or borrow it from whomever wins it, or watch it before the swap. Actually, that's usually how my DVD purchases for my little brother go: watched beforehand or borrowed soon after gifting.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In the book there's no question that Crawford is a sleazy creep who can't be trusted. I'm not a fan of Edmund either, for that matter.

I saw Dear White People last weekend. It was entertaining and creative, although as I am not a person of color I have no idea how accurately it represents the Ivy League experience for such students.

Not sure where to post a short indy web film about Harry Potter fans playing wizard rock. I'll try here: [link]
It's adorable, 20 minutes long, and stars the girl who played Lydia in the Lizzie Bennett Diaries.

So, I have been craving Plunkett and McLeane for years now.
It used to turn up on IFC or Sundance (can't remember which but I think it was IFC). Of course, fucking IFC now has commercials.
Signed, still remembers when Bravo was a no-commercials, arts and really, really interesting unedited movies channel. No, not still bitter about that, no sir (liar).

I believe that if the leap of faith had been given, he would have been true. Like, I totally would have been happy if Fanny had married him.
Haven't read the book, so I can't speak to Burrell's point. But as played by Nivola, I felt like he sincerely thought that he WANTED to be a better man, but I was unconvinced that he would last. I felt like if they married they would have had at best a couple/few months of happiness before he broke her heart in some way. (As best I recall, haven't seen it for a few years. Gotta go back to Amazon and pull the trigger on my cart since the DVD's on sale - or was a few days ago).
