Probably not, but I don't remember why. Maybe she was just flailing a lot without considering that option.

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.

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

Don't know...Dark Crystal kind of freaked me out.

Our wings are not tired.
For whatever reason, I was able to see ANYTHING as a kid and teen and not get freaked out. I read horror stories by the dozens and it wasn't a prob (although a book called The Elementals by Idunno Who, and Straub's Ghost Story were both memorably scary.)
But now? I am freaked out and scared by nearly everything!! I take holey sweaters to the movies JUST to watch the whole movie through the holes in the sweater. I am a wuss. Hell, I could BARELY watch half of Up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. We've just had our first instance of "Push the button, Max!"
I had forgotten they had a two-man, pedal powered Zeppelin at the beginning of this movie.
And now I remember why I always thought of this as a Sunday Afternoon Movie. It's almost 3 hours long. That's your Sunday.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's actually a lot of nice steampunk design in this thing.
eta: I had forgotten how awesomely gothic Professor Fate's mansion is. Truly Jack Lemmon's evil laugh has never been topped.
Why isn't there a t-shirt that says "Push the button, Max!"?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I finally watched Up today, and predictably it made me cry and cry. Such a beautifully done movie.

Oh, books can be much scarier than movies by letting your imagination fill in the gaps. The mental images I formed of Gregory and Fenny Bates when I read Ghost Story at the age of 10 put almost anything I've seen in horror movies to shame.

I gotta assume MST3K stole "Push the button, Frank!" from TGR.
Truly Jack Lemmon's evil laugh has never been topped.
While he's done a ton of comedy, I don't think he's ever done anything as gloriously silly (counting both of the roles he played, of course).
Ross Martin's presence in the movie makes me think in another life Lemmon would have made a great Artemus Gordon.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I saw Tarzan through the neighbor's sliding glass door when I was about 9 (there were about 4 kids with me, and we were all breathless to see nudity, but it was diappointing and fleeting.)
Porky's was the first "real" R movie at about 9; Poltergeist was also about 9, and it freaked my shit about closets to...today. I can sleep with a closet door open, but if I really NOTICE it, I have to close it.
