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

That's too bad, I was liking the ads. Not that I have had any success in getting to a theater, but it was on my list of movies I might try to see.

Still working on getting to The Martian and Crimson Peak.

"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'd say either of those should be higher priority.

I think I'm going to go see Girl in Woods next week at the indie film fest, as it's near a place I want to go for Memphis Downtown Dining Week. Alas, Carol and the Whit Stillman-hosted anniversary showing of Metropolitan were sold out.

Oh, wow, Metropolitan! I love those movies. Barcelona is probably the one I quote most often, but they're all so good.

Also, dining week! I'm jealous. I think my local restaurant week is coming up in January which wifi be here before I know it, but still, Memphis Downtown Dining sounds great.

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

Still working on getting to The Martian and Crimson Peak.

Woot! You and me both. We should make a pact to try and see at least one of them.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Alas, Carol and the Whit Stillman-hosted anniversary showing of Metropolitan were sold out.

I can't wait to see Carol. It was filmed here, and looks SO gorgeous.

And I adore Metropolitan beyond all reason. Love love LOVE it.

I'm in, Burrell. Pinkie swear? Blood oath?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Still working on getting to The Martian and Crimson Peak.

I have resigned myself to just getting the Blu-Rays of both of those movies. Maybe I can catch third-run if either are Oscar-nominated (The Martian probably will be).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm still trying to decide if we saw an afternoon movie at the slow theater if it would be a terrible idea to take the baby. I haven't seen a movie in a theater in months.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Friend of mine said he couldn't review Spectre because it was so boring he couldn't remember what happened.

Yeah, that's about right. Or rather, I could probably tell you some events that happened in the movie, and maybe in what order, but I couldn't tell you why they were supposed to matter to anyone. It's one thing for a Bond villain to have an idiotic plan, it's another thing altogether for a Bond villain to have no plan at all. Beyond...talking about how evil he is, I guess? Because reasons?

Christophe Waltz is still fun to watch, though, even when he's trapped in a thankless role and phoning it in.

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

I guess there's a reason why Daniel Craig has decided to swear off any more Bond films. He must have realized long before it came out.

I'm in, Burrell. Pinkie swear? Blood oath?

Blood oath seems more appropriate to Crimson Peak, doesn't it?
