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.

Yeah, you know, five years is a long time to hang around if you want to be married and he doesn't, btw.It's funny how often my brain will do that logic puzzle thing and try to fill in the holes if the actors are keeping me amused. Like "Maybe when they started out she didn't want to be married either." Which kind of reminds me of the speech in "When Harry Met Sally" about how they could have sex on the kitchen floor, but then they never did that either...I didn't always like Sally either, but that was a masterpiece of character development comparatively. It's funny now when I find myself filling in the plot holes in a movie because I'm not really in a formative stage, looking for life lessons anymore...I'm a bit worried about young chicks that might be...inspired by that.

"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 men were assholes and the women were stupid.

At least it's a reversal of the normal trend in mass media, where most women are controlling shrews and the Y chromosome apparently carries a gene for mental retardation?

Always Anti-fascist!

The performances were fairly good...I thought Ginnifer Goodwin was good at playing a bubbly little psychopath, fwiw. It was only after the fact that I began to feel dirty. And I don't mean porn; it was fairly non-erotic, aside from Scarlett Johanson.ETA: Matt, yeah, more Distant Guy than Moron Guy.

That's cool, Kathy...those people are like heroes to me. Although it might be a while before there's a cable show about theml

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

From the epic philosophical ideas of 2001: A Space Odyssey

WTF? What epic philosophical idea? "This movie is best watched while epically stoned."

Is there even one idea in 2001? Aliens started evolution? Astronauts get turned into ginormous babies? Flushing the toilet in space is complicated? Don't let the computer control the space locks?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um... if aliens help us evolve, we'll just use our new powers for evil? Like, killing each other?

OK, not hugely profound. Maybe a wee bit profound.
