There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I read that Orcar Isaac did not know he got the part until THE DAY OF THE TABLE READ. He was at the hotel and his agent said, wait for he call, you are either going to the set or getting on a plane to come home. Yikes.

I wanted to eat him up with a spoon, I gotta say.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He's so dreamy.

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

Oscar Isaac and Domhall Gleeson were half the cast in Ex Machina and they were all over this movie. I expected to see Alicia Vikander in this too.

And: "i get all my winter clothes at Hoth Topic"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Especially considering as soon as Pete and I were in the car, I was all "So, cry more emo kid Kylo Ren?"

The movie was fun. I am not a fervent Star Wars fan, but I had fun. I don't feel a need to watch it again any time soon, but I feel that way about the original movie, too.

Jilli, that's verbatim what I said about him!

Ha! I loved the stormtroopers overhearing his tantrum and just turning around and walking away.

There better be a damn good explanation for R2D2 waking up at that moment. Because it felt like he was ... sulking? and then decided to be helpful? I dunno.

My headcanon is that the stormtroopers talk a LOT of shit about Kylo Ren in their barracks.

As for R2D2 waking up at the exact right time, I read an article about that, where JJ Abrams gives a weak-ass explanation for it. Let me see if I can find it...

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.

Yeah, JJ's explanation is kind of lame. Apparently R2 is running on Windows ME.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

JJ's explanation is that R2 magically woke up at a emotionally convenient point in the story, and had been helpfully carrying around all the maps everyone needed for 38 years. Yeah, I'm good with that.
