When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

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

I correctly guessed who no. 1 would be.

Heh. Me too.

Me three!

Still, I'm pleased at the inclusion of the Illinois Nazis. ("Illinois Nazis. I hate Illinois Nazis.")

Totally agree. If I ever need to laugh, I just picture to look on Henry Gibson's face when the Pinto as taking it's final plunge, and his second-in-command tells him he loves him.

move out and draw fire

I correctly guessed who no. 1 would be.

I had #1 and #2 mentally tied for my predicated #1.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I believe it was about Jaws 3-D, when asked, he replied that he hadn't seen the film. But he had seen the beach house he bought with the paycheck and it was lovely.

Ha! Love it.

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

I had #2 for #1. But, really, I assumed Hitler would have them all beat somehow.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

vanquishing the enemy with your suit jacket is a scene I'm thrilled is included in each movie

Sort of like whomping Celeborn with a rolled-up magazine.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Wow, another rave for Inglourious Basterds. And Berardinelli does not hand out four-star reviews willy-nilly (in a good year, three or four films get four stars from him). The review does go into some detail about aspects of the plot, but not much more than most reviews would.

"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

I correctly guessed who no. 1 would be.

The person who made the list had to be from our generation, and therefore an impressionable kid when that character was in multiplexes, no?

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

I like Ryan Reynolds, but I don't know if I like him this much. How interesting can they make that?

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

So if someone tells me that he just saw District 9 and loved it, thought it was the best film of the year, and then says "and it turns out to be a comedy! I laughed my ass off!"...should I worry?

Raq - worry.

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

Yah, that interests me about as much as that abandoned diver flick, Open Water I think it was called.

On the other hand, My Dinner With Andre was just a couple of dudes and a table and I loved it.
