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.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wait, this bit has half-naked men.
And now there's a giant eyeball.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
is the eyeball looking at the men?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought it was a half decent essay. Not a patch on Casino Royale, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was ok with QoS. I can put up with a lot for Daniel Craig.

Because books.
I fell asleep during QoS. It was really disappointing to me given how much I loved Casino Royale.

No. The eyeball was scenery in a production of Tosca, and I guess the half-naked men were opera singers. However unlikely that seems.
I am enjoying the scenery in the movie, having been to Sienna and heard about Bregenz.

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 thought the pacing was much better in QoS, myself.

The problem with most action movies is that I come out of them wanting to see a movie with a woman who kicks ass, isn't (solely) a sex object, and at no point has to dress like a hooker.
There's a short supply of those.

I really do think that the theme song was the worst part of the movie. And pretty hilarious, with the music video included on the DVD.
