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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

1. Yeah, but -- Tony also created the murderbot; and

2. This discussion really should be in the Marvel thread. It has Avengers curtains and everything!

(I originally posted this in the Marvel thread. So that was weird.)

You're right. That's going to take some getting used to.

I was totally gobsmacked by Fury Road.

So much more fun than I expected. It felt like a perfect homage to the original...though I have not seen that one in a very long time. Honestly, I think it is better than the original!

Completely, surreally, cracktastic.

PS: Anyone who shares my needle phobia needs to go with someone who will cover your eyes for a couple of scenes. EEeek.

Oh Jon. I think there is one part that could be extremely upsetting to a new mother.

Could you spoilerfont some details for me?

Sure.

It is all off-screen but a baby is removed, stillborn, from a mother who is killed. One of the bad guys kind of plays with the umbilical cord .

I stress again, it is all off screen. We don't see blood or even the mother dying .

No children are menaced, though Max has visions of a child he let down.
