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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I realized during the big climactic fight that I was less invested in the survival of Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the mini-Lois Lanes than that of the T-Rex. When the overgrown raptomeleon had it down on its side I felt like yelling at the screen for it to go after the human characters instead!

I am also skeptical that the overgrown raptomeleon could chase down and kill multiple apatosauruses in a single field as it did. Unless they also used starfish DNA to make it regenerate, a panicked tail-swipe from a 20+ ton animal would have left it with serious mobility issues after the first one that it failed to insta-kill.

Damian Lewis frontrunner to be the next Bond.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Honestly, I like Damian Lewis but I'm not sure I see that. I mean, he would look good in a tux, but the roles I've seen him in do not make me think "yes, next Bond"

So are we going to get outcry that Bond is not red-haired?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, hell yes.

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

I like Damian Lewis but I don't see him as Bond, at all. Timothy Dalton was my favorite Bond.

Out of the list in Tom's link, I think I'd like Richard Armitage best. His Royal Broodiness is already established.

ETA: Other than Idris Elba, I mean. If Brits make the movie, I can see it happening. Americans, NSM.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bond. Ginger Bond.

If they can't seems to give us a ginger Doctor Who, I see no reason why Bond should overcome that stigma. ::sulks::

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am always surprised by the anti-ginger sentiment in Britain.

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.

No kidding. I've always thought redheads were awesome and wondered why "beaten like a red-headed stepchild" was even a saying until I found out about the British antipathy.
