Buffistas

I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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.

Oh, I didn't mean tease in terms of the universe, I meant it more in reference to the first tag and those waiting for better roles for women. This could have been that movie. But I'm supposed to be happy with the implication that they may get around to it?

I think Ant-Man stands alone as a movie just fine, but compared to most other films I saw this summer it was only mildly entertaining and in need of a good editor. The fact that it is also the perfect encapsulation of how not-feminist most Hollywood films are is just the last straw icing on the cake.

I went to see Dope with megan walker and it was SO FUN. Really, it's a hella smart, witty, contemporary movie. Could have done more with the female characters, but they weren't insulting, just sidelined. And it's just sharp as hell.

Highly recommended, even if you don't know squat about 90s hip-hop. (The lead character is really into 90s hip-hop.)

Supposing that I still haven't seen The Iron Giant (despite owning the DVD, I have no explanation for this it's just a mysterious fact of my existence) and it will be showing at the IMAX theater near me, I should just go ahead and get tickets, yes?

OK, then. Making it so.

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.

I realize the decision has already been made, but I wanted to join in on the "Yes" parade.

"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 finally got to see It Follows this weekend, and it's the rare modern horror movie that comes off as completely original and truly frightening. I've heard a lot of comparisons to John Carpenter and Wes Craven, but the quiet building of dread strikes me as reminiscent of earlier horror masters like Polanski, Lewton, and Tournier too, even if the setting is more modern.
