I thought msbelle was joking when she mentioned that in Natter. WTF?

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 loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I've seen it three times and it gets funnier every time, maybe because I know now that Jason Segel really did have a girl break up with him when he was naked, and he started working on the Dracula musical a while ago.
Boy were you guys right about The Haunting. I was annoyed by some of the sound choices and I found Eleanor's narration a bit heavy handed at times but that's the scariest movie we've watched since we started this ghost kick. When the door started breathing I had to go get the cat for comfort. I do wonder- are we supposed to think Theo is a lesbian? edit... after reading imdb I guess it's supposed to be obvious Theo is coming on to Eleanor. I wonder why I wasn't sure.
Just came back from a showing of the Oscar-nominated animated shorts (plus "Partly Cloudy", "Runaway", and "The Kinematographe"). That was fun.
Wallace & Gromit were as fun as ever, but I really loved "Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty" from Ireland. "Logorama" was brilliant.
Just saw Paranormal Activity. It had a slow build, and it was creepy and intense at times, but it wasn't the scariest movie ever or anything. The ending was great, though, and way better than the alternate or original endings. Good call, Spielberg.
Oh John, what have you become?
Revisiting his "Savage" Steve youth, maybe.
I also saw Shutter Island. I loved the performances and the look of the film is AMAZING, but the script just didn't grab me at all.
Which is unusual in work from Dennis"Bring The Pain" Lehane...what happened there?(I admire his writing a lot; he'd be more of a favorite if every chapter wasn't a punch in the gut.)
I think "Hot Tub Time Machine" looks like it has great laugh potential, actually. I'm hoping it will be one of those unexpected greatnesses, like "Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle"
Well, the guy who wrote it was in Harold & Kumar.
Holy cats! I re-watched Waitress last night and the guy who plays her husband would NOT get out of my head and I just realized now that he played Elton in Clueless!! Holy cats!
