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.

Then there wouldn't be enough American characters!

...oh wait. There aren't any American characters.

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 was confused as to why Rey was allowed to keep her accent but Finn had to change his.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I feel exactly the same way about Peter Capaldi and David Tennant.

Tennant had enough new ground to break as the Hot Young Doctor. They needed to wait for a return to form to make him Scottish.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Andi and I went to The Force Awakens tonight at the big five-story screen.

I kept seeing a bit of Hayley Atwell in Rey (Daisy Ridley)

She could pay Atwell's younger sister.

I did, too! A lot, actually.

Oh, yeah. I could totally see Rey as Peggy's sister.

I just listened to this week's PCHH, and they generally loved it.

Keira Knightley, too. It must be a very British face.

She sounded exactly like Keira Knightley to me. It was very distracting.

Daisy is very like Keira when she smiles. I was worried that it would be distracting during the movie, but it wasn't, perhaps because she doesn't smile much.

Graham Norton addressed the accent thing, here's a link: [link]

Short version: they tried Finn with a British accent and it didn't work. Watch on for Daisy and John being generally adorable and Carrie being... Carrie.
