Buffistas

This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You know what bugged me about Hidalgo? At the end, when Hopkins releases him to go free with the herd of mustangs, you can see a glint of metal as he runs off that shows he still has shoes on. Wouldn't that be dangerous for the horse?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

heavy draft for palomino color, but I don't think there's a huge market for it.

They're not as heavy as Percherons or Clydesdales, but Belgians are draft and pretty darn big.

Not all Belgians are palomino, but the breeder near where we lived in NC bred for that coloration.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

What bugged me about Hidalgo was the scene(s) where Viggo is supposed to be riding bareback and the saddle is clearly visible.

Most of them are light chestnut. I considered mentioning them, but decided against it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You plant people know you're the only ones who have the slightest clue, right? The rest of us just go "flower!"

You don't know the half of it. My entire interaction with the boards is made up of me sitting at the computer and shouting "actor!" "dress!" "cat!" "nun!"

I think you'll agree, my voice recognition software is top-notch.

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

There used to be a whole big run of young adult horse books that featured palominos.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm for damn sure there's a palamino somewhere in a Sweet Valley High book. Palamino = favorite horse of oung girls not Plei or Zen or Aims? Funnily enough, I love appys and percherons.

And now I'm giggling at Plei's horse posts, given her current tagline.

And I thought the cream-to-platinum mane, tail, and points with a medium-to-pale chestnut coat defined palomino--do I have that wrong?

There's a champion Belgian breeder back home in my area of Pennsylvania. I loved going to the country fair so I could get up close and stare at the big, mellow horses. Such a gorgeous color.

Genetically different. The palomino is a chestnut with a single dilute gene (double dilute gives you a cremello). Belgians are generally undilute light chestnuts with flaxen manes and tails.

(ETA, I had TOTALLY forgotten this was my tag. HA!)
