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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ooooh! David Tennant and Simon Pegg are going to be in John Landis's Burke and Hare, based on a true story about two 19th century graverobbers who sell cadavers to Ediburgh medical students.

Nobody worry if you hear a giant squeal. That's just me, dying of happiness.

The NYT has a pretty glowing review too.

Even so, it startles and charms and delights largely because Mr. Jonze’s filmmaking exceeds anything he’s done in either of his inventive previous features, “Being John Malkovich” (1999) and “Adaptation” (2002). With “Where the Wild Things Are” he has made a work of art that stands up to its source and, in some instances, surpasses it.

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

I haven't had time to post, but I loved it. I can't talk about it rationally, but I spent about the last third of the film in tears.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jessica - do you think Emeline could handle it? She loved Coraline and watches JLA cartoons and such.

I think adults will find it more emotionally affecting than children (as usual with this sort of movie). If Em liked Coraline, she can definitely handle this.

One of DH's critic friends called it Where The Emo Things Are, which I think is about right. But in a good way.

Totally. Joe and I were pretty much sobbing during Up while Em just sat there asking when she could have her own Kevin.

Heh. Lillian, when not screaming in terror, was busy asking all sorts of questions about why Ellie died, and did she get sick, and did she have a cancer.

This went on for weeks, by the way. I think all she really focused on in the movie was Ellie and Death.
