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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

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).

Holy crap, so Amazon has Plunkett & MacLeane new for $55! And the used? $30. I don't know if this itch is that essential to scratch at that price. Why no rentals?!?

Why no rentals?!?

Did you try that site that tommyrot was reccing yesterday? I can't access it from this computer, so I don't know if it's there or not, but maybe.

Or ebay or half.com to buy (also not accessible from here) - that's how I got an old out of print Leslie Caron movie without paying a mint for it.

Was that in this thread or Natter?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hey, you can already buy GotG (the movie, as opposed to the soundtrack) on iTunes! (I mean, you can ALSO buy the soundtrack on iTunes, but that's been true for a while. I think the movie itself is out early.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Speaking of the soundtrack, Awesome Mix Vol. 1 is free on Google Play.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ok, so, Birdman was super fun, if you are the sort of theatre person whose experience can be characterized by the question, "Why does that actor refuse to wear fucking underwear?"

Anyone else seen it yet?

Also adding my voice to those recommending Interstellar.
