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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Loved S1 but kind of skeered of plunging forward and getting all emotionally invested, since my LJ flist has been rampant with sore feelings and disappointment and ire at the most recent season.

Eh, I think they're being Wrong On the Internet, but that's me. (I think 5 has been their best season since 2.)

(Not that the show doesn't still have Issues, but I think S5 has on the whole been better WRT to them than S3 or S4, and has been narratively stronger. Take this as you will, for I loved AtS S4 the best.)

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

I hope this Captain America rumour is wrong.

I'm trying to imagine him playing against RDJ's Iron Man, and I totally don't see it.

As protest against the Burton Alice, I've gotten the late sixties BBC production (all of $9.99 at Amoeba).

Peter Sellers, Flora Robson, Michael Crawford, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore...

I also saw "The Lady Eve", which lots of people here love, and found it kind of watch-from-the-hall.

The Lady Eve is one of my least favorite screwballs. Of course, I also find Bringing Up Baby terribly annoying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I regret to inform you that you are all freaky alien people whose brains are filled with wrongness.

Ten screwballs better than The Lady Eve or Bringing Up Baby (IMO):
His Girl Friday
The Awful Truth
It Happened One Night
The Thin Man
My Man Godfrey
Palm Beach Story
The Shop Around the Corner
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
My Favorite Wife
If You Could Only Cook

Haven't seen them in awhile, but maybe also these:
Twentieth Century
Nothing Sacred
Trouble in Paradise
Holiday
