I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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 so hoping that was an Onion link.

I really don't get it. What difference does it make what language it's in when you otherwise show utter contempt for authenticity?

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

Giant space-chicken movie progressing nicely

We are continuing our efforts to make a full-length animated film with half a dozen people + many, many years. This is a sampler video of characters and spaceships from our "Guidolon the Giant Space Chicken," which is a film about a giant space chicken making a film about a giant space chicken.

The animation is still "in-process," but it's a nice intro to Guidolon the Giant Space Chicken and film director, Trisuron the giant space Triceratops and movie actress/producer, Jerora the giant space jellyfish and production manager, and their enemy, Fribugus, the giant space pangolin and movie studio lackey.

The phrase "giant space chicken" underlies the existential angst of the piece, as "giant" is what we hope to become, "chicken" is what we fear we are, and "space" is the amorphous place where we float without a hand-hold, trying to define ourselves before others define us first.

I think it's a dick thing, Scola. Has to prove he's manly enough to Go There Also, what's Norse for "Medellin"?

I have got to read this:

Andrew Rabin's A Once and Future Dude: The Big Lebowski as Medieval Grail-Quest. (For rug, he suggests, read grail: "a lost fetish object" that unifies the mundane and the divine, or "ties the room together".)

What's a good subtitle or tagline from a third movie in a series?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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

"The magic is back again!"

No?

I'm actually totally blank. My favourite sequel tagline is #2--"12 is the new 11."
