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.

That part of HPatCoS I always skip since the time I innocently found the movie on TV and didn't know what was coming!

I know exactly at what instant I need to hit the "skip" button TWICE. If "skip" is hit only once, it drops you straight in the middle of that section. DO NOT WANT.

(Yes, Pete watched the DVD right after we got it and figured that out for me. He is a very good husband.)

I wish I had a Pete to look out for me!

While I'm a firm believer in confronting certain fears head-on, and I continue to try to do so with the awful things that are being spoken of, I respect anyone's decision to NOT do the same. I think a traumatic encounter with a particular issue of National Geographic back in the 70s had a LOT to do with that.

There was another issue of NG that put me off of ANY critters with TOO MANY LEGS, but that's another story altogether.

I'm actually able to handle naturally occurring incidents, but don't like the mental images of the monster sized ones. Oh and there is a popular remote control toy one that I have a lot of trouble with.

WHAT? Oh, that is so not a good idea for a toy. I can't even ... eeeugh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This indie film garnered awards on the festival circuit, including Slamdance, Zombiedance, the Fargo Film Festival and the Santa Cruz Film Festival. The far-out story has Jesus finally returning to Earth -- but he must contend with a world under assault by a band of vampires. Mary Magnum and the god of Mexican wrestling, El Santos, help Jesus fight evil in this oddball horror-comedy.

The above is a description on Netflix of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter which has recently been available via "Watch Instantly."

Has anyone here seen this movie?

I got a nasty surprise when I was visiting a friend's house and her 6-year-old daughter brought it out to show everyone. It was a Halloween gift, but I've since seen it in 3 catalogs! Yeeps!

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

I read a general breakdown of critical response to The Lovely Bones. Apparently it played much better to UK critics than to US, who didn't like it.
