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.
Bwahahahahaha!!! LOVE.

That is classic!
Finally, someone treats that phenomenon with the seriousness it requires.
I like this version. (Spoilery for upcoming sequels).
I like all of the Almodovar films I've seen, too, but they all sort of run together in my head, too. I think All About My Mother was the one I've liked the best.
I have learned my lesson and never read AV Club comments...too much hipper-than-thou makes me "Hulk Smash" Although probably not among Ron Burgundy defenders.
Nah, I think the commenters there are aggressively lowbrow for the most part. I usually don't read them, but sometimes I'm curious about what they have to say about an article that's an example of particularly good or bad writing on the site. I think they give one of the writers - I'm not going to say which one - a free pass on some amazingly poor writing and poor thought because he tends to champion the lowestbrow pop culture in their coverage, while they are harsh with some of the stronger writers who don't reflect their own geek-culture tastes as closely. I think it's an interesting, if regrettable, part of Internet culture. Also regrettable: reading the comments in the first place.
Which writers do you mean? (I comment there on occasion; the threads are better since they began registration.)
Apologies for lumping you in with the rest of the commenters, then. I'm friendly with some of the writers, so I'd rather not name names.
I take no offense, given the number of commenters. Having said that, I do enjoy a place where I can be strident and somewhat anonymous.
Fair enough! And I'll readily admit that the AV Club comments are certainly heads and tails above the unfiltered ugliness of, say, IMDB.
