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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Her ENTIRE STORYLINE is being repeatedly kidnapped and talked into making terrible decisions until Channing Tatum rescues her at the last minute. OVER AND FUCKING OVER AGAIN. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, W's. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

Ugh nooooooooo.

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

The costumes and production design are pretty spectacular, and the movie looked great in 3D.

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

I've been reliably informed that Sean Bean does not die. That may not really be a spoiler because no one really cares what happens in this movie.

I just am never sure how long a hug should last.

When either party is ready for the hug to be over, it's over. With men, I'll accept the embrace, squeeze, pat, release, and step back. If he holds on longer than that, he better be my long-lost brother. With women, I let her decide how long and how hard she wants to hug, within my cutoff of about five seconds, unless I'm hugging her because she's having a crisis.

Anyone heard anything about Kingsmen? I think it'll be awful, and I want to see it anyway.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It looks fun, in a blow-shit-up-oh-hey-Colin-Firth way. Meaning, I totally want to see it.

ExBossFriend said it was terrific, but I doubt I'll have a chance to catch it in theaters.

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

I'm not sure that I want to see Kingsmen even if it's good, because Mark Millar.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So Jilli and my friend Jeff saw it at an early screening, and said it was great. Despite Mark Millar.

Oh, and to be clear, the despite Mark Millar re: the source was absolutely part of the review, not something I added. Jeff and I have similar feelings re: Mark Millar, which usually involve shooting him into space from a cannon and calling it good.
