Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, Sunshine Cleaning sucked. In case anyone was curious.

(DH brought it home ages ago, and for some reason we felt like finally watching it tonight. Oops.)

(Just ONCE I would like to see a movie where the Amy Adams type is the pothead with no job and her gothy sister is the mature responsible one. Just once.)

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

I didn't know this was a trope! How many instances?

I feel like "pretty blonds are more responsible and deserving of happiness than their weird friends with all the piercings" is a pretty established trope in movies which contain both types.

I can't think of a case where I've seen that reversed, and I would like to.

Oh you're just saying that because you've got blue hair and clearly don't deserve happiness.

Show's what you know - I haven't had blue hair in over a year. So THERE.

But I know you miss it. Can one have both blue hair and happiness?

You can have blue feathers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And do they correspond to the colors of one's parachute?
