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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

So, I saw "Sliding Doors" for the first time since it was originally shown

I haven't seen that in years. I'm going to dig it out and rewatch it. Just what a Saturday night take-out, on an evening when you're not feeling 100%, needs as a cheering-up movie.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Not being a serious, hard core kaiju fan, I don't know if this is the first, but last night I saw something remarkable: A Japanese monster movie that was about 9/11, and not Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Gamera the Brave

And being a Gamera movie, it's right up Jess' alley.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I saw Julie & Julia today. It was pretty good. Not something I'd go back to every weekend it's in the theaters, but worth a matinee. My friend and I left the theater hungry for really good food, and we ended up at a Durham restaurant called Revolution. Durhamistas—their food is delicious!

Saw Star Trek at the dollar movie. Very pretty, very silly in places, and the main saving grace was Leonard Nimoy. I love watching that man playing the older Spock, all wise and "I'm over 150 years old, I can be visibly amused and delighted if I want to be."

"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

Oh, definitely. No matter my problems with the plot and Kirk's characterization, seeing Leonard Nimoy as Spock again was well worth the price of admission.

His delight at seeing Scotty was wonderful, and it was all in the eyes and that very faint smile. "I have been and always will be your friend" made me misty-eyed, as did the "Space, the final frontier" at the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm worried that the theme song might be the worst thing about Quantum of Solace, and worried that it's not.

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

Are you watching it now? Just stop.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wait, this bit has half-naked men.

And now there's a giant eyeball.

le nubian - Aug 08, 2009 7:07:55 pm PDT #3450 of 30000

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

is the eyeball looking at the men?
