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.
They did pronounce "Burgundy" right. But it's Mardi Gras in New Orleans in the movie. Because it's always Mardi Gras in New Orleans. They didn't show any parades or anything, but Bourbon Street was packed and people were wearing beads. Because it was Mardi Gras.
Oh, they were also able to get an apartment in the heart of the Quarter (during Mardi Gras) because a French Interpol agent was on the team.
Let me guess: they did NOT interject a dose of reality by having any of the characters groped by or thrown up upon by drunken revelers in the crowd?
All that needs to be said about After Earth is that Will Smith's character is named "Cypher Raige." Excuse me, " General Cypher Raige."
"Starring Jaden Smith" was all I needed to know to take a hard pass.
Okay, we got Kingsman from the library, and I have to say, it was really fucking entertaining. My only real problem with it was Jack Davenport's criminal lack of screen time.

Just got back from a screening of Green Room at the new Alamo Drafthouse here in SF. I didn't think it had the depth of Blue Ruin but it was an entertaining (albeit rough) ride.
So I don't keep spamming Facebook, anyone want to complain about Trainwreck with me?
I WILL!
ETA: Where should we start?
