Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'


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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Can't movies just call a rat a rat? I know mice are nearly impossible to train so they use rats instead but it is so freaking obvious that's not a mouse (for instance in Because of Winn Dixie.) Why don't they just change the script?

maybe "mouse" has slightly more pleasant associations for people than "rat".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is Truffaut’s Mississippi Mermaid worth seeing?

We went to see Bruno. I'm blaming the pomegrante martini I had at dinner. Parts of it were hysterical and parts were too much for me. I'm horrified at how many kids were at the show.

Don't blame the movie, blame the parents. They more than deserve it.

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

Shoot 'Em Up is THE MOST AMAZING MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Dude, you haven't seen but like eleven movies.

Have you seen any Pier Pasolini?

How about the Saragossa Manuscript?

Anything by Guy Maddin? Ford? Hawks? L'atlante?

I take it back. You've seen twelve movies.
