In my opinion, that movie is totally worth it for Ann Magnuson as Shiva.
These pipes...are CLEANNNN!!!!
I also like Letterman's cameo.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I did see facetious remarks that Book of Eli was a Zardoz remake.
Ha!
I stumbled onto Zardoz really late one night a few years back. I could not turn the TV off, it was so oddly compelling.

The DVD has a commentary by Boorman which is basically two hours of "I'm not sure why I did that. I'm not sure why I did that either."
I got to admit, bad movies by Boorman tend to be compelling (see also, if you dare, Exorcist II: The Heretic). They certainly aren't boring.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently Zachary Quinto just sent a facet of fandom into a tizzy by saying he wasn't doing any more Spock for two years. He had to post on his site that he meant apart from the movie--he's not doing any conventions or anything in the meanwhile. No Spock until the movie.
I guess he's assuming he's going to be pulling a paycheque for Heroes or conventions as Sylar?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of my favorite commentary tracks of all time. "I...don't know what this scene was about, actually. I don't really remember shooting it..."

Our wings are not tired.
The Steven Soderbergh/Mike Nichols commentary on the Catch-22 dvd is awesome like that. I really enjoyed when Nichols talked about casting and also how difficult it was to get the movie to deal with the book's non-linear narration.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have that at home, but I don't think I've listened to the commentary. Guess I know my plans for tonight.

I love the book and the movie, and was rather impressed that they were able to make a movie out of it.

It's just so nice to be able to listen to two of my favorite film makers just sit back and shoot the breeze about it, ya know?
