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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Those are two of my faves, P-C! Love 'em both.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Philadelphia Story is AWESOME. Dinah is totally me. And the whole film is so quotable.

I could not sully my previous post with this, but we went to see Bad Lieutenant: Blah Blah tonight and it was SO BAD, y'all. Nick Cage would have been laughed out of freshman acting class, he was so bad. And the story veered between overheated melodrama and bad cliche cop action. I do not know where the good reviews came from.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Probably from the people who feel badly about Nic's financial situation.

"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

Were I a critic I'd probably deal with that by advising people to go see Nic Cage movies, point and laugh at him, and remember to throw popcorn at the screen, not rotten fruit.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Wait, does the studio get royalties on popcorn sales?

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

I just watched Be Kind Rewind and loved it! So hilarious and full of heart.

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

From Time - Top 25 Horror Movies

Kinda' a broad definition of horror - Bambi made the list, and the #1 movie is Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

Stupid.

I mean, I get that the point of such a list is to generate discussion or at least prompt some thought about what Horror is.

But Horror is not simply provoking a response of real life fear for personal safety (their #1), and it is not about tragedy and loss (Bambi).

So, I don't need another list that starts with Psycho and hits Halloween and stops at some recent decent horror flick (Let the Right One In or 28 Days). But if you're going to do a genre study you should have a freakin' clue about the genre.

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

For once, I'm even more cynical than Hec -- I highly doubt that Time's purpose in anything is to prompt thought. The purpose of such a list is to say "lookit us! we made a list!" and to get lots of people to post it to Facebook.
