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.

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