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.

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

I didn't realize this was the premise of the Tim Burton Alice:

In Burton's version Alice is 17-years-old and after trying to find her place in Victorian society she returns to the Wonderland she first visited as a young girl.

It's not a straightforward adaptation, or even necessarily an adaptation at all. But kind of a fanfic what-happened-after.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Some more quotage:

Last night Burton showed some footage at the Disney 3-D panel at San Diego Comic-Con. (Johnny Depp also dropped by, supposedly whispered "Hey, happy to be here" in the microphone, and left.)

Burton explained that the new film doesn't exactly follow Carroll's book, and instead takes the characters and various scenes from the novel and molds them into an updated story, according to the Daily Mail.

"It's all based on [the book]," he said. "This material's seen a lot of film versions of it--we tried to take all the elements of it and weaved it into a story that had some motion to it and emotion to it, and not just a series of events."

"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

So it's Hook with Helena Bonham Carter instead of Dustin Hoffman?

Cleo...as awesome as ever.

I did a table reading (with costume elements) of her LOTR recap at a restaurant for a friend's birthday.

The 'I don't DO things like this' crew I foisted it on were in hysterics by the end of the first page. There was much flailing and a couple of tables over asked us to speak up. It was a beautiful moment and it was all down to Cleo's genius.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Pssst. It's Cleo.

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

I had to stop reading it last night because roomie was trying to sleep and I couldn't help laughing out loud.
