I love spell check. :-)
Is it the love that dare not speek its name?

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I love the fourth picture here, from the Grant Park summer movie festival showing of Psycho.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
homesick now. I wonder if any other cities with a winter as brutal as Chicago have people standing outside on New Years Eve to watch fireworks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Anyone here see "Harvard Man"? Is it like, MST3K stupid, or "My God, the pain," stupid.(Cause it's bound to be slightly stupid to cast my chew-toy Grenier as a basketball scholarship student from Kansas. But almost everything is more fun than my life right now, and as AG goes, so goes my nation. I'm 10% more environmentally conscious right now, and it's fucking great.) But the keyword here is "almost"...don't want to watch something that will make me hate movies or anything!

This one. The improv is so stilted and awkward that it was physically painful for me to watch. (And I saw it in a theatre with no couch to crawl behind.)

Ok, then, never mind. Then, what were the critics on? Because it got a few decent notices...I suspect Ebert of having a minor Grenier man-crush, however. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, sometimes Netflix viewers Don't Get It any more than other Americans...lately I've enjoyed flicks that got widely panned by them, but if a Buffista doesn't like it either, there must not be stuff to like. I'll forget I sniffed that, so to speak, and move on.ETA2: Although I think "AG as basketball star" is going in my personal irony file along with the Bush Library, Scalia winning a free speech award, and jumbo shrimp...I think he's great, but it's a joke around Entourage that he can't catch a cold.

Ebert likes anything with an interracial sex scene, bonus points if it involves teenagers. (I have great respect for his long career and body of work, but I guess everyone has their bulletproof kink.)

Yeah, I could see that. A bit more than I would choose to know about Ebert, though I respect his taste and contribution in general.
