I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Other than in that movie, that bit is always going to be hilarious to me the way it's been co-opted for comedic purposes.

Also, the dog still freaks me out even when I'm expecting it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am pretty sure we've had this conversation before! I just found Costner insufferable in it! Yet not in Tin Cup, so go figure.

I think we have, and I always found him more grating in Tin Cup, though I liked the movie (again, more aversion to that particular sport probably playing a big part of it) and him. The rest of the cast in both movies is the big reason I love them both. Specifically the female romantic leads. Where the hell did Rene Russo disappear to? Or have I been missing something?

Happy with not watching Trainwreck.

Thor. She disappeared off to Thor.

With a pit stop at the Thomas Crown Affair.

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

I skipped Trainwreck because I also am not the target audience for Amy Schumer's humor. Some of it is amusing (Last Fuckable Day was brilliant) but I'm usually just bored or uncomfortable.

Spy was even better than I expected; McCarthy is funny as hell and everything about that movie was perfect, including the bonus scene at the end.

Thor. She disappeared off to Thor.

I'm irritated at just about everything they did in Thor: The Dark World.

"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

The one thing I liked about it was that the villain treated Frigga like a real threat rather than dismissing her as some damsel he should take hostage as leverage against the menfolk. Makelith seemed to be very aware that if he gave her any opening the new Asgardian yuletide decoration would be The Elf on the Slab.

Freya was no wuss. When she picked up that sword in the first Thor movie, you knew she was up to the task.
