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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought the 3D was unnecessary and kind of distracting - the entire movie was just very slightly out of focus. I vote 2D.

Perfect. That's what I was hoping to hear.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Man, a FB acquaintance posted "Boyfriend called new Mad Max corny....duh, it's not supposed to be serious!"
I haven't seen it yet, so I didn't comment on her post, but I thought "Did they see a totally different movie than the one everyone else I know saw???" (Obviously, everyone is allowed to have whatever reaction they wish to a movie, but it just struck me that her post was the first one I've seen about Fury Road that wasn't "Holy shit, amazing!" and the like.)

Oh, someone I know on FB was bored by it. Thought it was too cartoony, no on had a story arc, there wasn't enough plot or dialog, and that the movie was mis-titled because it wasn't about Max. Oh, and that Tom Hardy isn't as good as Mel Gibson was.
I am very proud of myself that I didn't comment on their post.

I can imagine thinking those things, but...no.

Thrive to spite them
The reviewer foe the free weekly paper said see it in 3d but I think I trust Jessica judgement on this.
Will be seeing fury road as soon as I can. Mom offered to go with me when she was here I think she might have liked it but we opted to watch Leverage instead (which she LOVED).

I saw Pitch Perfect 2 yesterday, and thought it was very funny. Thinking back, I didn't love the music as much as in the first one, but it was very entertaining. I could have done without a few of the fat jokes. But the cameos were awesome, and I though Elizabeth Banks did a very creditable job directing.

I just saw Pitch Perfect 2 also. I enjoyed a bunch but I agree that many of the fat/ethnic jokes were trying to hard.
