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 enjoyed Mad Max muchly. Despite the fact it seemed like one long fight from start to end, it didn't bore me, where many other movies might have. I think it was because it was a lot of little fights that resolved quickly (in comparison to other, bloated movies ::age of ultron::), interspersed with more personal insight and character building. And I liked that there wasn't a lot of dialogue. Plus, one of my staff said she thought they did a great job with the scoring, the music always seemed to match the mood to where you almost didn't realize there was any.

I loved the theme of redemption, and in particular, Nux. OMG, Nux. Nooooo! And even more "Ho, Shit!" was that he was played by Nicholas Hoult. NO WAY. Fantastic, just fantastic.

Yeah, Sail, he was my favorite character.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Mine too. I thought he did a great job with the most difficult character.

Slumbernut!

Is it me, or do a lot of people miss the fact that the whole "Language!" thing in Age of Ultron was a joke?

Like Steve is actually a potty mouth and has asked for help in cleaning it up?

I feel like it was played pretty straight, which was the joke, though I can also see how it might not be entirely in-character for, you know, a soldier. I'd say Steve wasn't 100% serious but he wasn't 100% not serious either.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I thought it was played straight, too. (And was actually not in character, either. But whatever, let's go for a cheap joke.)

I get tired of Joss' running jokes. But I had a lot of issues with Ultron, especially how it pretty much ignored all the things Tony went through in the Iron Man movies.

That, and they kept ragging on him for going off on his own and not including the team. Yeah, so what the fuck was Thor doing any differently? I don't see it and nobody jumped all over him. Plus! He was the one that actually enabled Vision's creation.

No one was really in character. No. One.
