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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
She wasn't the lead. She's a big enough character to qualify for a Best Actress nod, but it's still Woody's movie.
Same goes for Elastigirl and Dory. Pixar is all about the awesome female second-in-command.

Now that you point it out, yeah, they really are. Hmm.

I guess Mr. Incredible was technically the protagonist of that movie, but casting Holly Hunter opposite Craig Nelson was not conducive to me sympathizing with anyone besides Elastigirl.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
But for grown-ups who like monsters and aliens and 3D animation and Stephen Colbert, I highly recommend it!
This is me! Thanks for the rec; I thought it looked good from the trailers.
Me, too! I've seen the trailer probably 4 times, and it makes me laugh every time. Definitely want to see it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'd consider Elastigirl an equal to Mr. Incredible in the plot and characterization, and wouldn't be surprised if they have an equal number of lines and screen time, FWIW.
Otherwise, as you said.

Saw Watchmen this afternoon. I completely cracked up when "The Sound of Silence" started playing, because that identified the one missing thing that would have made the movie a halfway decent one. Did Snyder grab one of the teenage fans off the sidewalk at a Stephenie Meyer book signing and put her in charge of the score?
I will admit that the opening credits were worth the price of admission, though.

The only soundtrack cliche they missed was using "For What It's Worth" for the sixties.
It was by far the stupidest soundtrack I've ever encountered. So thoughtless.

Ok, I haven't even SEEN the movie and that cracked my shit up, Matt!
