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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

X-posted from Natter:

Philly Flower Show mystery: a scene from a movie that had a lot of people saying ""Lost: The Movie"?". There was sand, a submarine with computer screens, a hatch in the ground glowing red, lots of fuel barrels, some liquor bottles hidden in the tropical bushes, lots of what seemed to salvaged metal from military vehicles, and a cooking fire made from a side-turned oil drum. The closest I could figure is the 1959 "On the Beach". But all the other movie scenes were Disney, unless that was a red herring in this instance.

Any guesses? It's driving me nuts.

FYI: There was a color remake of On the Beach at some point.

So I finally finally watched Waitress tonight, in which Nathan Fillion is an adulterous gynecologist. (Although a very cute one.)

For a movie about adultery (among other things), it's remarkably hopeful. And mildly surprising, although when I got to the end I could see that of course it had to go there.

Still, that was fairly charming, and I'm sad all over again about Adrienne Shelly's death.

Ugh. One of the most horrifically random and pointless murders I've ever heard of. It still makes me cringe and have horrible death penalty fantasies even though I'm a true non-believer in that particular punishment. She was so wonderful in those early Hal Hartley movies. I still need to see Waitress, though.

Hey. New board.

Waitress was wonderful.

I would highly recommend seeing it.

Hey. New board.

Just... if you know a good place to get pie, it might be a good idea to watch it at a time they will be open when you finish the movie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just saw What We Do in the Shadows a totally hilarious and charming film about vampires in New Zealand, made by Jermaine Clement (half of Flight of the Conchords) and the unknown to me, but now a total crush, Taika Watiti. If it's near you, go see it! I can't imagine a Buffista not enjoying the hell out of it,

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

Thanks for the rec, Scrappy, I was wondering about that one.
