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.

Underrated Sixties Beauties

I'm not sure Charlotte counts as underrated. In fact, I think there was a period in the 70s where she would have been called overexposed (in many senses). Granted, she seemed to disappear for a long stretch after that, but she also made a bit of comeback recently as well.

One thing I'll always lover her for: she made a great Avengers appearance, and was pretty much an Emma substitute (until Emma showed up later in the episode).

As Hana Wilde, in The Superlative Seven.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

On P-C's rec, I watched Josie & the Pussycats today. That was way better than it deserved to be. Although the "ironic" product placement was a bit much.

Bonus: It passes the Bechdel Rule!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bonus: It passes the Bechdel Rule!

Huh. I should watch that.

Double-bonus - Oz sings "Backdoor Lover"!

I love that the prefab boy band is named Du Jour.

Right?? Glad you liked it too!

The funny part is that they didn't actually receive any money for any of it. They did it For the Irony.

Bonus: It passes the Bechdel Rule!

With flying colors!

Hey. New board.

Josie and the Pussycats is phenomenal. I watched it thrice in a row my first time.

I also love Return to Oz, though I think neither it nor the Garland affair really capture the spirit of the books very well. But that's okay by me, because despite loving the world and story, the tone of the Oz books never worked for me.

I agree that Sam Raimi is probably a bad choice for an Oz movie though. I don't think he'll maintain a very good balance of happy and creepy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Toy Story 3 only just barely passes the Beschdel test, but is pretty damn awesome all the same.

Without spoiling too much, I will say only one thing: Buzz Lightyear has a Spanish mode.
