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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Her role model should have been Patrick Warburton.
I wish she'd be more Krunk-like and cook me some spinach puffs.
Or even emulate Pacha (Goodman) and his wife and kids.
I guess it could be worse. She could be taking after Yzma. But JZ does not contribute even an iota of Diva to the genetic mix, and my Evil Genius is fair to middling at best.
There is one Buffista child, though, who has exactly the right parentage to grow up to be Yzma.

Oh, she's most of the way there already, David. At this point, I think her only remaining barrier to being Yzma is always having to do what Mommy and Daddy tell her to do. I'm sure that one day, they'll pay.

Emeline would look fabulous in those Art Nouveau styled gowns and feathered headdresses.

Muah-ha-ha!!!
Love Emperor's New Groove. Sadly, it is lacking a princess, and therefore holds no interest for Yon Punk these days. Maybe I'll force it on her this weekend.

Maybe I'll dress her up as Yzma for Halloween. And Joe can take her out as Kuzco.

Now I'm picturing Aimee and MM in a pantomime llama costume. Hee!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Who else has seen Synechdoche, New York ? I started hating it about 20 minutes in, having thoughts like "Did Charlie Kaufman write this after a dementor attack?" I started to feel that it was one of those films you have to see more than once to understand but once was already too much (see also: Mulholland Drive). But then Dianne Wiest showed up and reminded me of some stuff I just learned about Jung (from a Charles de Lint book) and I started getting into it on an analytical level. At the end I was confused but not angry at the movie. Then I watched the bloggers roundtable special feature.
I'm reminded of a time Mom & I went to see an art exhibit. Shoot I forget the artist's name but I think he's from Chicago and at the time (mid 90's) he was doing a lot of cartoonish paintings of people with hairy legs. We walked though kind of puzzled and not very much entertained. Then we watched the documentary presentation and it was like the whole show opened up for us. We walked through again and found great meaning and enjoyment in the paintings.
Crap I forget where I was going with this. My main question is: have you seen it and what was your experience with it?
