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.

I haven't seen all of Aronofsky's work, but when I read the trivia that he backed out in order to do The Fountain, it kind of clicked that that movie also did some head-tripping past (albeit fictional), present, as well as future (emotional speculation) inter-cutting, with lyrical imagery and motifs. Also, naked men and the lotus position.

edited to add commas!

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

I watched Millions yesterday, and I think I have moved from simply admiring and respecting Danny Boyle to loving him and wanting to see whatever he does. Such a nice little movie.

Which rumor says is the next Bond film.

Nope. Would've been neat, though. I still haven't watched QoS.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

In sad news, I've just heard that they're going to take Natasha Richardson off of life support this evening.

Where did you hear that, Corwood? There have been all sorts of conflicting reports about her status. It's really sad, regardless.

Ron Silver died on Sunday.

Yeah, I'm still reading conflicting reports about Natasha Richardson. I hope the better sounding ones are the true ones, but it's very hard to say at this point. It's sad either way.

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

Yeah--it's not like the better-sounding reports are good. Just less bad. All sad.

Can't cut & paste on the phone yet, but I heard it from a movie geek at another forum, then read it on the google news.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
