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.

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

Buzz Lightyear has a Spanish mode.

Oh, that explains the picture I saw. Heh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Monsters, Inc. 2 set for release in 2012.

HURRAY!!

And Josie and the Pussycats should be required viewing, I love it that much. The soundtrack is awesome and was the first thing I played in my BRAND NEW FOCUS when I bought it long ago. It was the movie I watched with my girlfriends the night before my surgery last year, too. It is amazing and awesome.

In fact, the new Buzz Lightyear toys have both Spanish and English phrases programmed in.

It passes the Bechdel Rule!

I don't get what the big deal about Bechdel is. I mean, I'm the only woman I know...the only one at work, or here, or in this movie we call Life.

And on the rare occasion when another woman shows up, IF I talk to her, it's only about guys. Or a guy.

I think people need to realize how hard it is to pick out which man is the "star" in order to talk about him. When you're the only woman, there's a lot of possible protagonists to talk about.

What an interesting perspective Raq. Thanks for that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm the only woman I know...the only one at work, or here, or in this movie we call Life.

More than half the population is female. If 90% of the women in 90% of the movies still have to talk about less than 50% of the population, what's that about?

I think people need to realize how hard it is to pick out which man is the "star" in order to talk about him

I don't understand this sentence. It's usually easy to pick out which man is the star. And his antagonist--it's usually one of the two that's being talked about, if not both.

When you're the only woman, there's a lot of possible protagonists to talk about.

And when we make up more than 50% of reality, how often are we the only woman? Just because you're solo, doesn't mean the rest of us are.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So I'm the only one who read Raq's post in sarcastic voice?
