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 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.
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.
Oh, god, they're hilarious. All of them.
