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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Also, I really did like "The Secret Life of Bees" a little movie of the weekish, but good enough to spend a Saturday evening.

I was surprised by my reaction to her dad showing up at the honey farm. I was not just scared for Lilly, but for the Boatwright women. It felt like such a protected place, and the thought that this white male, regardless of his social or economic status could come in and ruin the whole thing creeped me right out.

It also makes much of Mad Men way creepier for me.

Compassionately intolerant

I really enjoyed Bottle Shock. It has its hokey moments, but I lived in CA during the period and remember the events being a huge deal to my father and other wine lovers. The commentary made it even more fun, including the nugget that Rickman had his first bite of KFC on screen.

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

A Lobo movie? By Guy Ritchie? Seriously? Wasn't he only cool for sixteen minutes? Just because print needed a Wolverine parody doesn't mean that film does too.

But I can't help but wonder at casting...

Our wings are not tired.

DJ, I assumed you were Netflixing all of those - what's the job perk related to watching them? I is intrigued!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So my 1980's cartoon movie ignorance has come through. I had not seen nor read Rats of/Secret of NIMH.

This was not a good choice for Em. Oops.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This was not a good choice for Em. Oops.

Our tape of Bambi is broken in such a way that it automatically fastforwards through a certain scene.

"There's Bambi's daddy. He's okay."

We finished NIMH and she declared it "Cool." We are now watching Nemo which I also have not seen.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

We are now watching Nemo which I also have not seen.

I'll be curious to hear who your favorite character is (and if I'm right in my guess).

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

We are now watching Nemo which I also have not seen.

I hope you love it! It surprised me by being awesome.
