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 was just thinking about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers over the weekend. Apparently, Jacques D'Amboise's daughter is with the Joffrey Ballet here in Chicago now, and she's supposed to be as talented as her father was.
Something I forgot to mention about Coraline. I thought it was funny that the Other Mother seemed to be modeled after Victoria Beckham.
Sweet! Under ten in the new thread.
Top Ten?

I saw Coraline again yesterday and it totally holds up. And spent a little time also figuring out where they used CGI to sweeten the stop action and add SFX.
Lucky 13?

Picture this: Elton John, Jane Austen and a space predator!
Trend alert! First there was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Now comes news that Elton John's Rocket Pictures has set Will Clark to direct Pride and Predator, which mixes Jane Austen-period costume drama with an alien crash landing.
According to Variety, the alien will butcher the mannered protaganists, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about.
Shooting will begin in London later this year. John executive-produces, and his Rocket partners Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing.
Clark, who directed the award-winning short The Amazing Trousers, wrote the script with Andrew Kemble and John Pape.
John will supervise the music, as he does in each Rocket-produced film.
