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 can't even remember what the movie was.
Viva Las Vegas.
I was going to say -- even I've been there, and I live on the other side of the country!
The Paramount is spectacular.
ION, about forty minutes ago rottentomatoes.com led me to a review of Alice in Wonderland that contains a huge honking spoiler for the end (or, maybe, a huge honking spoiler for the resolution of the framing story? Anyhow, an Alice-in-this-world spoiler). And it's so weird and improbable and fraught with ginormous potential for lots and lots of brain-hurty problems that even forty minutes later I keep shaking my head and saying, bzuh? Whafuck? Surely, no?
I really want to want to be able to see it, but the spoiler sounds like the kind of thing that would make me throw up my hands and stalk away like Giles fleeing from Xander's monstrous stupidity.
I have a framed poster of the paramount I got on the pre-wedding visit. I love it.
And tickets are only $5?? I must check to see whether they're playing anything I want to see. Next up is Captain Blood.
Wound down with Surrogates with the fam. Really enjoyed it, cared about who the characters were behind the artifice. Tickled by a movie that had a very valid reason to be populated by very pretty people.
We watched Law Abiding Citizen, Twilight, and Becoming Jane today. Now we're headed out to see Shutter Island.
Not even attempting Oscar fare. Watching Modesty Blaise.
Now we just caught the end of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. My goodness, that's real pretty. Amazing animation, and holy cow, did they use some version of motion capture for the movement and facial expressions? On one hand, highly innovative for the times, on the other, holy animating skills, batman!
