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.

move out and draw fire

A friend invited me to the midnight IMAX 3D of How to Train Your Dragon last night, but that wasn't gonna happen. Maybe Sunday.

Nifty derivative-or-homage comparison of Clash of the Titans, Solomon Kane, and everything else. [link]

CCH Pounder would be my dream casting, and I was stoked by Pam Grier playing her on Smallville. But despite not looking much like Waller I definitely think Angela Bassett will do a good job in the role.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. I would not have guessed this.

One of Tim Burton's earliest shorts was Luau - a surf guitar beach movie spoof.

Long and relaxed for Smallville, IIRC.

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

Feh on the straightening hegemony.

It's hardly a new look for Pam, though.

Feh on Pam. I'm talking about what drives the difference between what the character looks like on paper and what she looks like onscreen. And, really, unless you cast CCH, you're going to get flowing tresses instead of something much more no-nonsense and actually Walleresque.

Which isn't to hate on all women with straightened hair. It's just that it's so everywhere that even characters not created that way have to end up with it, and it annoys me. God forbid what they might do to Martha Washington.

Ah, I mean my Martha Washington, not yours. They'd probably cast Beyonce and have her sporting waist-length hair.

No, I knew who you meant. She was in something besides "Give Me Liberty"? THAT I did not know.

Heh. I didn't know about the other Martha Washington until ten years ago.

Martha's appearances. Huh. I don't have the 2007 one. Need to go shopping.
