'Sleeper'


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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sleepwalking lead, premise doesn't hold up under scrutiny (I guarantee there'd have been riots and societal collapse long before the supply of living humans was almost exhausted, especially given how violent vampires are shown to be), Heroes-like treatment of locations (there are maybe 5 in the movie besides unimportant background stuff, and everyone can get into them silently without difficulty for surprise twists/reversals, of which there are so many it was like watching the last minute of 20 episodes of Angel one after another).

It was atmospherically production-designed, well-photographed, and Sam Neill did his usual good job of Lex Luthoring. But those were about the only good points.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I LOVE the two fighty-bitey-drama babies at the beginning. That's MY plastic bottle trash! You go back to playing with your rock! Actually I love the whole thing. One of my Big Parenting Issues is we are so trapped in our US upper-middle class right way to parent box, and a good antidote is to see how other cultures do stuff. (My kids would, of course, be fazed by a goat drinking the bath water, though.)

It's fascinating to see how similar all the babies are in the different environments. Swap out the rock and the plastic bottle for an alphabet block and a rattle and you could watch that exact same scene in any daycare in America.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I love that the movie is just called "babies". It somehow makes it cuter.

Trust my rage

I had the same reaction to the scene of the baby walking with something on his head. It totally looked to me that he was practicing something he's seen bigger kids/adults do and I see my kids do that sort of thing all the time.

We've never had a goat drink our bathwater, but definitely has happened with dogs.
