I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There are two scenes referring to the autopilot being broken and fixed. And a scene noting the missing pearls from the Wayne estate. Those scenes are pointless if the ending is a dream, and no one spends studio money on scenes that have no point in the story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I can't say that I remember the film all too well, but I was just referring to Alfred seeing Bruce and Selina at the cafe. I could see that part being a dream of Alfred's.

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.

Those were my thoughts, bon-bon. Which is why I was surprised people even questioned it. Let alone that it was enough of a thing for someone to ask Christian Bale his opinion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I never questioned it the other way round.

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

Wait, who was Tilda Swinton in Grand Budapest Hotel?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

She was Ralph Fiennes' sugar momma.

Holy shit, she totally was. That was some very convincing age makeup!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

And all three of them had Swinton in them!

More amazing still, she wasn't even conspicuously the best thing in all of them, just one pleasure among many.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd say she was conspicuously the best part of Only Lovers Left Alive. Sorry, John Hurt.

Heads up: Fellowship of the Ring is free on Google Play for the moment (or you can rent it for $2.99) for peeps in the US-- [link] .

ETA:

Apparently outside the US you can get Ritchie's first Sherlock movie free, FWIW.
