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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've never seen a movie where

From the interviews I've read, he said it was a reply to older movies like Where Eagles Dare where you just have to suspend disbelief and go along with the fact that Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood could freely mingle with Germans without giving themselves away verbally/culturally.
But that doesn't mean you're wrong either. QT is a cagey...basterd.

By the way, I always use the German-style hand gesture to indicate "three". I wonder if I'm going to be outed as a German spy anytime soon.

Hmm, I do to. I wonder if the three middle fingers is strictly a UK thing, or if it varies in the US depending on what part of the country you're in.

megan, it's about the different ways of indicating the number three with your fingers - thumb, index and middle, or index, middle and ring.

I get that, but which way do the Germans do it?
