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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not much of a Three Stooges fan, so I don't have the most credibility here. But I can't see their shtick working for an entire feature-length film. Slapstick works better in smallish doses.

On the other hand, if any current actor can channel the Three Stooges spirit, it's probably Jim Carrey.

I'm afraid to tell my brother about a Three Stooges movie. He'd probably stage a protest in front of the film studio. He'd think it sacrilige to try and recreate what he considers the most classic show on TV.

I forget, have we seen this yet?

The fact that the Jim Henson Creature Shop is doing the suit/animatronic work makes me feel about 100x better about this being made.

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

So remember how we were talking about Crank: High Voltage ?

THIS IS BASICALLY THE COOLEST INTERNET TRAILER EVER.

Compassionately intolerant

Dwight! I love every role Dwight has ever played.

That, and I think Spike Jonez might just be the perfect choice for director.

That was awesome.

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

I think Monsters vs. Aliens is a fun movie for kids but it's nothing special.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How does the 3-D compare to Coraline?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Animation-wise, it's not even close.

I thought the writing was really sharp and funny and the voice acting was incredibly strong across the board.

Given how much I normally hate Dreamworks animation, I was surprised at how much I liked this one. I'd see it again.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I forgot Monsters vs. Aliens was opening this weekend. Right on!

Jess, I'm pretty sure you've never steered me wrong on a recommendation, so your opinion of it makes me look forward to it even more.
