Oh, thank you! I'll be back to post after I've caught up!
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.
yeah. Just re-read the book. Liking the movie a lot less in retrospect. Snyder really did miss a big chunk of the point.
Anyone see Fast & Furious this weekend?
few of my friends did. they said it was terrible.
it made a whole lot of $$ though.
Word on the street is the first 15 minutes of Fast & Furious is fantastic. After that you can leave.
phooey.
I had the weird juxtaposition of seeing Watchman in the theatre and then later caught the beginning of The Incredibles on TV.
I thought Watchman was okay, but it pales in comparison to The Incredibles as a story about superheroes going underground and missing the action.
I had no trouble with the soundtrack. It was right and wrong by turns, but never took me out of the movie.
I think the director couldn't figure out what tone he wanted for the movie. A darkly funny parody, a straight up noir or comic book "movie" or whatever. I would have rather seen Alex Proyas' take on it.
Visually, I loved it. Though I was disappointed in the BBP. You guys set me up to be really impressed or bothered by it, and I hardly noticed it in most scenes. Did I miss something?
Jeffery Dean Morgan was hella disturbing. The guy playing Ozimandias was not at all impressive and I was disappointed that he was the Big Bad.
Jackie Earle Haley totally stole the movie.
I may have more thoughts later.

If you did, so did I.
hurm. Maybe us folks who were all penis! should be looking within for the answer.
