Zen has nearly convinced me to pay full price to see it. Or at least at a matinee on a good screen instead of at the crappy screen at the dollar movie house.

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.
Yay! I mean, even if you don't agree with me about the empowering girl stuff, it's a fun, pretty movie. I bet you'll leave the theater feeling a hell of a lot better after seeing JA than after seeing 50ShadesofAbuse or Kingsmen Kick Ass. Plus, if you see it, you'll understand why I keep saying Dances With Bees! and cackling.
I took the 50 Shades bullet for y'all and lived. Also ended up not paying a dime for our liquor or popcorn and got 2 free tickets to a future movie. All cause our service was so bad. Every point of the night was screwed up. Someone sitting in our seats - the server had checked their tickets and didn't notice they were in the wrong row (Alamo Drafthouse has reserved seating and service to your seats). Our drinks were delivered to the wrong table. We had to ask about our popcorn which we had ordered before the movie started. Our check was delivered to the wrong table. The drunk ladies at that table figured it out and gave it to us but then he didn't pick up our cards so we weren't able to pay before the movie ended.
Oh, and the movie? Best I can say is it was better than the books in that you don't have to deal with her "inner goddess". The whole audience laughed a lot. Some was awkward laughter but there were also laughs at the more ridiculous lines. Don't think that was the intended reaction but least the majority of the audience was on the same page.
Wait-is the character in Jupiter Rising named Jupiter Jones? Isn't that on of Alfred Hitchcocks Three Investigators?

Yes she is. Yes it is!
I hadn't known the last name (of the movie character). Man, I read a ton of those books when I was 10.
Gotta say, that was fun! Although, I wish Eddie Redmayne had refrained from trying to sound like Christian Bale as Batman, I found it very annoying. I think all I'm waiting for now the movie is over is for someone to write A/B/O verse for it. You know damn well Caine must have a knot.
snerk. So much fic potential.
I agree on Redmayne's vocal choices. But having gone in expecting ridiculousness, I enjoyed it.
As long as Jupiter Jones and "Red Gate Rover" do not have a knot...
I didn't know what "knot" meant until I started reading posts about that movie.
