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.

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

I was just telling a co-worker that this bet is the only reason I know which teams are in the Superb Owl this year. I don't follow sports, but I do follow shirtless pictures of Chris Evans.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jessica, exactly! I don't care who wins, I'm here for the Chrises.

Chris Evans...Chris Pratt. How to choose? It cannot be done. I liked Chris Pratt when he was heavy, too. That's just a fine hunk of gentleman, right there.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

And then when you add the Hemsworth in there, too--it's almost an embarrassment of Chrises.

(I say "almost" because really, can there be too much? I think not.)

The Chris Trifecta. The Marvel Trinity of Chrises.

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

Finally got to see Hobbit Three today. I was fine, kinda groovin' on it. And then Legolas spent all his arrows and reached for his sword. Okay, still okay.

But then, he lost his sword, and reached for his knives. And I just started blubbering in the theater. H patted my hand and passed me a tissue. Battle scenes are really great for blowing your nose so you don't bother any other viewers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am more or less planning on seeing it the first showing this Saturday. It's good to have that particular warning.

I'm on the last few chapters of reading the book out loud now, and I'm actually struck by how faithful the movie was. If you edit out the bits that were totally made up, I mean. And ignore the fact that this 2.5 hour movie is less than 50 pages of text, and that the actual battle in the book takes all of three paragraphs.

But the individual scenes and conversations were preserved pretty much as-is, which was a nice surprise.

Chris Evans...Chris Pratt. How to choose? It cannot be done. I liked Chris Pratt when he was heavy, too. That's just a fine hunk of gentleman, right there.

And according to what Pratt has said, his wife like's him heavier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He's probably less crabby, for one thing.

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

Also - while he looks good thinner (of course, he is quite pretty), he looks more interesting/less generic Action Star when he's heavier.
