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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just finished watching The Blind Side. I'm glad I didn't see it in the theater, since it made me cry more than all the episodes of Undercover Boss put together.

Yeah, I saw that alone, and I think I might've been alone in the theatre, too. I cried like a baby wanting a bottle. Same with Precious.
I was very, very surprised by how much I liked it, megan. I read the book the very next day, since I was sure so much of the movie had to be made up because it seemed so Disney. But, it wasn't.

I thought I read that Michael Oher had issues with the book and the movie, but I don't remember what exactly.
I liked it. Is the book good?

Yes, book is a fast, good read. There's some history on football, and it's Niner's centric (Michael Lewis lives in Berkeley), but the Oher's story is captured very well.
Did you ever see the movie "A Perfect World"? I remember loving it when it came out; it's also a John Lee Hancock movie. I got to meet that handsome Texan one fine day in 1996, but since I was hanging with Clooney, I let him walk away.
Oh, name dropping is so much fun when you just don't give a shit.

Ha! It was very easy for me to make friends once I quit the industry [ETA: my very small, little branch]. Being a civilian and not wanting to be part of any scene made me that much more pleasant to have around. At least, that's what I was told.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't even know you were in the industry before!

Yeah, I don't talk about it much. Ancient history and all. And I never wanted to be *that* forty-year old who still thinks she's 20 and lives in the past and talks about coulda shoulda woulda kinda shit. So.
But most of my movie friends came after I was done with that scene, so it's nice. And it's nice catching up with some of them on Facebook after all of these years.

I love A Perfect World. Partly for way Eastwood says "I do like tater tots," but there's other good things about it, too. And Keith Szarabajka!
