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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Fun! When I first saw the posters, I didn't even recognize Paul Gross, but the trailers look amusing anyway.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
but "Diablo Cody" *is* a bit Much.
Huh. It never even occurred to me that it might be a pen name. I know so many people whose actual names are so much less plausible. I mean, now that I think of it, sure, what parent would name their infant girl Diablo? And yet, I grew up with people sincerely and unironically named Aragorn and Arwen and Fritha Nicoletta.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not her real name?
I am in no place to judge.
Okay, sometimes I judge. That time never occurred to me.

A couple I know named their twins Luke and Leia. It's kind of fun to play "spot the cultural zeitgeist at your birth" with names.

I presume they've been raised since birth to know they're related, so they're safe.

Tempting fate. IJS.
I wouldn't name my kid Oedipus even if I intended to raise him with me and his dad. It's a thing.

Brooke Burns
I just looked it up - Brook Busey. Also, in "huh" news, she's producting the film adaptation of Breathers (which I have on my to-be-read pile) and of the Sweet Valley High books.
