I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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.

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

They are so wrong. End of story. Yikes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I get a twitch when people refer to The Thing from 1982 as "the original." It was a remake! Like The Fly ! I haven't even seen it, but I still twitch at the inaccuracy. It's on its way to me from Netflix, however.

I am anticipating several of those films.

But it was much closer to the original story.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My exDH worked on that. His dad is a glaciologist and the arctic stuff was shot at their camp on a glacier outside Juneau. His main memory was of the dog trainer (Rob Weatherwax, son of the trainer of Lassie) smoking pot and complained about how much he hated Lassie.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Aww man, Canadian actress Tracy Wright died.

I met her a few years ago when Monkey Warfare premiered in Boston. Her husband and collaborator Don McKellar gave me a vinyl copy of the soundtrack (because I was one of the few people in the audience who said they owned a turntable), and they both autographed it for me.

Oh, that's sad. I don't know her, but I know Don McKellar from Last Night and Slings and Arrows.

She was in both those films, P-C. I knew her mostly from Monkey Warfare and Me & You & Everyone We Know.

That's so sad. Especially pancreatic cancer - what an awful way to go.

It is very sad. She was great and in a lot of great stuff.

Oh, for fuck's sake. I think time is better spent remaking Buffy, honestly.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong...
