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.

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

Wow.

Roman Polanski ARRESTED: Director In Custody In Switzerland

ZURICH — Director Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss police for possible extradition to the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl, authorities said Sunday.

Polanski was flying in to receive an honorary award at the Zurich Film Festival when he was apprehended Saturday at the airport, the Swiss Justice Ministry said in a statement. It said U.S. authorities have sought the arrest of the 76-year-old around the world since 2005.

"There was a valid arrest request and we knew when he was coming," ministry spokesman Guido Balmer told The Associated Press. "That's why he was taken into custody."

Balmer said the U.S. would now be given time to make a formal extradition request.

Finally! That guy is clearly a menace to right-thinking society.

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

I wish he had just been arrested years ago when this could be more proximal to the crime.

The man has had a fucked up life and had some terrible things happen to him, to be sure, but he really needed to be arrested for this in the 1980s.

Eh, maybe this should be in music...

Hey! Movie watching Buffistas, I've got a bone to pick with you.

I flipped around the cable channels this morning and found Southland Tales. I start watching and it has a Mega Zeppelin.

You know I have checked off 100% Zeppelin Alert For All Movies and yet, you let me down. You're going to have to be a lot more vigilant in the future.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dude, don't watch that movie. Seriously. Bang your head against a wall for two hours instead.

Too late! It has the dwarf lady from Poltergeist and Rebekkah Del Rio from Mulholland Drive!

WTF?

Peace be with you on this quest.

I liked it. I'd have a hard time explaining why, but the Mega-Zeppelin was part of the reason (sorry, Hec.) Plus it's general over-the-top-ness and humor. (Like when SMG explains why she won't do anal .) Plus the music is awesome.
