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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also: NEEDED MORE SHIRTLESS THOR, FOR PETE'S SAKE.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy, Jesse? Thanos was explained a little bit there.

I just read an article that said Hawkeye having a family comes from the Ultimate comics universe.

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

It does. Many evils do.

I did, but still meh and/or huh.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Many evils do.

Like Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch, (while Wolverine -- who might be their father -- WATCHES THEM get it on) which I just showed to Tim.

Oh my god, Marvel. That's not the good crack.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Anyone seen Ex Machina? I just saw it yesterday and liked it a lot.

I enjoyed Age of Ultron reasonably well, but Ex-Machina is certainly a more interesting take on Artificial Intelligence of the two. The performances are fantastic. The gender politics are both problematic and problematized, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, we saw it, and it was good. This Oscar Isaac guy is pretty interesting.

Right? I think the only other movie of his I saw was Drive, where he played Carey Mulligan's husband who just got out of jail, and I remember thinking he was very interesting in that flick as well. I've heard great things about both Inside Llewyn Davis and A Most Violent Year, and I think I'm gonna check them out.

Oh, I didn't remember him from Drive. Definitely looking forward to seeing him in the new Star Wars movie, though.

I thought the movie made it pretty clear that he was misogynistic, rather than the movie itself accepting and confirming his attitudes. But man, that scene where the other guy sees the footage of all the previous AIs...that was rough.

Yeap. He's on a cusp of a stardom, from all accounts. He was both repellent and charismatic as hell in this movie, and I couldn't take my eyes off him while he was on screen.

Re. your white-font, I agree with you, but wow, the scene you mentioned -- Jesus fucking Christ. And Nathan's treatment of Kyoko in particular, even though it was clearly condemned, made me want to crawl under the seat and die a little. And the fact at Ava scavenged parts off the earlier models, as Nathan would have from her from for the next one, was both hella evocative and disturbing as fuck.
