Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

What you see in the Critical Stress Lab is a revolutionary watermelon capable of withstanding impact pressures of 300,000 pounds per square inch! Sweet, juicy and vitamin-packed, this remarkable fruit can be dropped from the bomb bays of low-flying aircraft into the backyards of disenfranchised villagers in the remotest backwaters of this angry planet. Just another Team Banzai effort to cut through all the unnecessary crap around us and help people help themselves. Look for high-impact, low cholesterol eggs next... and sooner than you think, shatter-proof whole-wheat taco shells.

Alternative explanation: they wanted to find out if one of the producers (I think?) was still watching the dailies.

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

Bladerunner is on. What a depressing movie.

Bladerunner is on. What a depressing movie.

I never thought it was depressing. When I lived in Boston I saw it just about quarterly at some rep theater. I loved going to that world.

It gives me claustrophobia. It's dark and cluttered and everyone is sad and crazy.

It's dark and cluttered and everyone is sad and crazy.

I think that's the point.

It gives me claustrophobia. It's dark and cluttered and everyone is sad and crazy.

And I wanted to live in that world. Probably why I moved to San Francisco.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Yeah, I can't imagine wanting to live there.

Speaking of sad and crazy, I finally watched Let the Right One In. I chose the English subtitles and they seemed fine. Afterwards, I saw the examples on the web and, as someone who has seen hundreds of foreign films with subtitles, I don't see what the fuss is about.

And you'd lived in Boston, David? Which part was missing from that combo, in your opinion?

Bladerunner is on. What a depressing movie.

I thought the movie was depressing until I read the book. Electric Sheep made me want to open a vein. For reals.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Me, too, bonny!

I thought it was interesting that BBCA chose to broadcast the theatrical release instead of the later Director's cut.
