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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The design choice to give his face that degree of mobility and expressiveness seemed odd.

Especially since they're fine with Iron Man speaking through an unmoving mouth slot when they're not showing RDJ's face. And there weren't any moving parts visible, so it looked like that bad CGI where they make pets talk.

There were enough questionable choices in this film that I think Joss should take a couple years off before doing anything else.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Just me, or was anybody else thinking that between Dr Cho's technology and the Tahiti protocol, that Pietro would be back ? Not very Jossian of me, I know. But I'm still only half convinced.

Isn't there something in the comics where Wanda brought him back?

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

Pietro was an Avenger for a long time in the comics, so I was surprised when he died. He's supposed to be there! I thought I didn't care, but I ended up liking both him and Wanda, so, crap, I don't want him to be dead!

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

About the whitefont discussion, this article has some insight. It's worth a read, as Joss is pretty upfront about his frustrations with the studio.

Huh, so Marvel wanted to axe the dreams. I thought the dreams kind of slowed things down.

I liked the dreams, they were actual character development, rather than just smashing things.
