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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Big! Blue! Penis!

Yup, I saw Watchmen this afternoon. I was okay with the change in the ending, and I thought the acting, by and large, was okay to really good.

The music was really distracting. Not just Hallelujah; all the music. I don't think it was needed.

Opening credits were made entirely of win.

Oh, uh -- when Nite Owl hacked into Ozymandias's computer, did anyone notice the folder on the computer named "Boys"? I wondered if we were supposed to deduce something from that.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Did they use any Billie Holiday or dub music?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yes Billie Holiday. Not sure about dub.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I liked Judge Dredd.

Me too! I mean, I saw it when I was a teenager, so maybe I wouldn't like it now. But I also loved Demolition Man.

Opening credits were made entirely of win.

Thumbs up!

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

But I also loved Demolition Man.

See, while I thought Judge Dredd achieved Johnny Moronic levels of badness, I loved Demolition Man. It was STOOPID, rather than stupid.

And, yeah, concur about the credits.

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

Steph - Yes! I commented on that to my brother at the time. Also that when they had all the news stories reporting on the devastation, one carried the caption "Tiffany Burns". Which, she's not the only one, surely.

Ok, now I'm imagining - and given some of the other musical choices they made, I don't think this is outside the realm of possibility - that when Dr Manhattan and Laurie return to New York, it's to the tune of "I Think We're Alone Now".

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm seeing it from start to finish tomorrow. I bet the movie would be 75% better with a more carefully chosen soundtrack. Snyder should watch more Tarantino flicks.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Naked parachuting is like riding a motorcycle in flipflops. So not a good idea.
