You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think adults will find it more emotionally affecting than children (as usual with this sort of movie)

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

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

Huh. So was she sorta' working out the idea of mortality?

She is constantly working out that idea.

"Is this chicken we're eating dead?"

"Who killed it?"

"What would happen if it wasn't dead?"

She sounds like my nephew (now in college) when he was about 4 or 5. He became very concerned when he found out that his grandma's parents had died before he was born. "Grandma, where are your mommy and daddy?" "They're in heaven, Clayton." "But, why?" I don't know why he didn't have the same question for his grandpas.

She's four and a half. Closer to four when we saw Up, but she's been all death-fascinated for a while now.

Four is totally the Age of Understanding Death. IME.

Because books.

More kids' books that should be made into movies, according to Nerve.

Hey. New board.

I am so excited about that movie. We're seeing it on IMAX tomorrow.
