You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I did say to DH about the flittery doggie-bat, though, "Get me a gun, I'ma shoot the damn thing" about the fourth time I ducked.

Whereas I was "GIMME! WANT ONE OF MY VERY OWN NOW NOW NOW" about those.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I thought it was a nice Easter Egg to show us just how restrained they'd been through the whole thing!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

But... they also had them appear during the main part of the movie itself fairly early on. So, not all that restrained for that one instance.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I did say to DH about the flittery doggie-bat, though, "Get me a gun, I'ma shoot the damn thing" about the fourth time I ducked.

I said, "How did the batdog get behind the credits? Get a broom and get chase him out of there!"

They didn't come out of the screen neeeeearly as much.

Eh. It was still so much field depth that it took me a moment to realize what it was swirling out of the screen at me.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I didn't have a problem with it either. I guess that officially means we have Slimline heads.

I didn't have trouble, and I have a HUGE noggin! Mine was Real-D.

There was also the purely 3-D moment of the needle coming straight out during the credits.

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

A very touching blog entry by Ebert.

I just got back from Push. Both the artistic style and the fact that it was set in Hong Kong made it more interesting than your typical sci-fi dudes-with-powers flick. Although the director doesn't appear to be able to film fight scenes for shit; I could barely tell what was going on half the time. But it was very cool, and there were a few neat tricks. This is a very well-trodden field, so it's hard to be original. Dakota Fanning was very amusing.
