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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Anytime you want to come over and watch it one more time, Vonnie, there's space on our couch. Provided Hec is out of town.

Hey now! I was watching Sandra Bullock back when she was the wacky comic relief friend in The Thing Called Love.

Which other Malle movies should I see now?

I love Zazie Dans Le Metro, which is his homage to early, anarchic comedy. Lots of directors in the sixties tried their hand at Marx Bros. / Keystone Kops stuff, but only Malle got it right.

I also like Murmur of the Heart though it does have a wee bit of disturbing incest.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm watching Fireflies in the Garden, and there's a young Hayden Panettiere, and my first thought was "Wow, real hair!"

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

TiVo taped "Caddyshack" and "Grease." So of course I'm obligated to watch.

I have seen "Grease" maybe 13-15 times, and here I'm watching it again.

And singing along.

Beau is ready to shoot me.

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

The Thing Called Love.

THAT is a very enjoyable movie. As is While You Were Sleeping.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I love While You Were Sleeping! I am going to see Bill Pullman onstage (Yay!) in Oleanna (Boo!) this weekend. Or is it Bill Paxton who was in that film--I always get them confused.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Paxton = Aliens, Vertical Limit, Twister, One False Move, Big Love

Pullman = While You Were Sleeping, Serpent and the Rainbow, Spaceballs, Brain Dead, Independence Day, Ruthless People.

"You could've had me for a song." Take that Dermot McDermott boyfriend guy!

Chiming in late, and out of lurkdom, to say - if you want a really good Truffaut film try Two English Girls. It's dark and sad and lovely. The story is a lot like Jules et Jim (and it was also based on a book by Henri-Pierre Roché) but it's much better and more grown up.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Fireflies in the Garden, watch for the Ryan Reynolds, rewatch to see RR throwing small children around and telling them "Whatever" and "I could totally kick your ass, it's not even funny".

Art Crawl!!!

Bill Nighy is joining the cast of the next HP movie.

Leaky Cauldron speculates he will play veteran Auror Rufus Scrimgeour; "I don't think I'm allowed to say it, but I'm going to be in the next Harry Potter film," Nighy told the newspaper. "I won't say which character, but he's a goodie. I just got the gig."

(Other casting spoiler - for a tv show at link.)
