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 saw parts of Catwoman on late night TV. Yeah it really was that bad. Trying to think how the heck you would make a good Catwoman movie. I mean the concept so invites cheese.

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

I saw The Road last night. It was incredibly, unendingly bleak, but well and passionately made, which goes along way in my book. Viggo was amazing as always, and the actor who played the little boy was impressive.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Step 1: Don't cast Halle Berry...

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

There are good Catwoman stories in the comics. The Batman concept is hella cheesy and it provided good fodder.

I have purged most of my negative moviegoing experiences. I walked out on Scanners because I could think of somewhere else to be. I watched all of Borat and Transformers merely because I was with company. I especially would have walked out on Borat. It just bored me.

I disliked What Lies Beneath a lot. Hated Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

Pearl Harbor was pretty awful.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Catwoman was a disaster but Halle Berry and Benjamin Bratt were very nice to look at the whole time.

I loved Grindhouse, saw it 2 1/2 times in the theatre and we own both films ( Death Proof is mine, D owns Planet Terror )

I'm not sure why I saw Town & Country. I might have been waiting for a ride. It was forgettable.

I've seen Gigli on cable. I can't figure out how it was ever released. It's just horrible on every level, from the script to the editing with plenty of terrible acting in between.

I just watched Land of the Lost. I laughed. I thought the writer was going for Kevin Smith style humor but ended up with Beavis & Butthead.

Always Anti-fascist!

The first X-Files movie.ETA: That wasn't only awful cause I was disappointed; I talked my family into going and afterward they busted my chops. "Hey, I didn't write it," I said. Though if I had, I suppose I'd deserve a gig at Del Taco.

Are you an X Files TV fan, erika? I can't imagine many non-Philes liking the movie.

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

So what are your least favorite movie viewing experience ever?

Phrased like that, I immediately think of Gothika. Not only was the movie bad, but the audience was extremely annoying and irritating with their reactions.

The Thin Red Line bored the crap out of me. There are various other movies I've thought were bad, like The Haunted Mansion, Men in Black II, Big Momma's House, and...I know there are others. But sometimes the viewing experiences are okay anyway.

The first X-Files movie.

I really liked the first one, but the second one was bad and pointless.
