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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Killer frost, Dana. Does that answer your question?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Killer frost that can be stopped by slamming a door in its face, no less.

Question for the hivemind:

freeze frame or freeze-frame?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'd say the first if it's a noun and the second if it's an adjective.

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

I'd say the first for a noun and the second for a verb. I'm currently drawing a blank on its usage as an adjective.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

In this chapter, it's only used a noun.

My author is a master of inconsistency: mise-en-scene or mise en scene, voiceover or voice-over, freeze frame or freeze-frame, you know, whatever.

Mise en scene! Why would you hyphenate that? Stop him.

Word likes "voiceover" and "freeze-frame." Microsoft must be right, right?

Sadly, it must be hyphenated since this is a spinoff/spin-off of the bestselling/best-selling book in the market, which uses mise-en-scene.
