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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I can't read Are You My Mother? to Em. It was one of the books my grandmother and I read all the time and I can't bring myself to do it. No kid needs to hear a book being read to them by a sobbing mess of a mother.

So Joe reads it to her.

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

In the near future, children can be read to by their robotic Hello Kitty dolls. Except then we'd have to worry about hackers taking control of the Hello Kitty dolls to tell kids to steal their mommies' credit cards and hold them up to Hello Kitty's eye cameras....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hackers. Right.

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

The way I usually rewind to the discussion is to jump to the release date on the IMDB page and scroll forward to the first mention.

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

But it's mostly me whining, so feel free to skip ahead.

But it was a very fine whine.

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

yeah. Just re-read the book. Liking the movie a lot less in retrospect. Snyder really did miss a big chunk of the point.
