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.

Charlie seemed to hold it together until well into adulthood before boarding the Crazy Train (and I do think it's actual mental illness rather than just a Hollywood ego run rampant). So I can absolve Martin and the mom from any blame for how he turned out.

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

How do PeeWee Herman and Grace Jones not go well together.

And I pretty much admitted I'd do it in Natter. So now everyone else is clear.

If we're talking the Sheen/Estevas family, REPO MAN is my Emilio movie - fuck the Breakfast Club.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Always Anti-fascist!

Totally think Charlie self-medicates to deal with rampaging mental problems. Because it does seem like he has lucid periods, and then "Tiger blood?!" WTF? I also can't believe I ever thought Mel Gibson was cute.

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

Well, DH and I rented The Interview on Google Play last night just in case Sony changed their mind again, and all I can say is I'm glad we only paid $6 and now maybe that people have finally seen the movie we can all stop pretending that this is the thing that's going to get us riled up about censorship.

There are a few genuinely funny bits, but overall it's just a dull racist slog. It's aiming at satire, but it's not smart or funny enough to get there. James Franco is playing a raunchier version of Stephen Colbert, but not very well. Seth Rogen is the straight man, but Franco's performance isn't funny enough to need one. There's an undercurrent of homophobia throughout the whole thing. (I think probably they were aiming for satire there too, but as with the Asian jokes, they just wind up being the thing they're trying to make fun of.)

I'm watching Fellowship of the Ring. Poor, doomed Boromir.

I think Winter Soldier after this.

Surprisingly the Hobbit movie was sold out this afternoon, so I saw Into the Woods instead. Emily Blunt and James Corden were awesome, but I'm not so keen on the jobs everyone else did.
