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.

. Sara didn't seem too scared, but she generally trusts that everything is going to work out okay, so.

This was my nephews. Well, Dominic. Tyler was mining the bottom of the popcorn bucket. I have an insane attachment to childhood toys (I have my dad's beloved teddy bear from when he was 1! and am still not over losing PinkHippo on the plane back from Prague when I was 20) and so the whole damned movie was a cryfest. At one point, I looked over at my SIL and she mouthed "I'm sorry, do you have more napkins?" through her tears.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

didn't get to you?

I'm with Sara and Dominic; I figured they wouldn't be burnt up.

Though that scene made an interesting narrative/dramatic decision to let the inevitability of their doom go on long enough so that even if I wasn't worried about them, I could feel their despair and then connection in the face of that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I didn't see any of the Toy Storyses and never can, because my toys are all alive and somewhat put out at having been sitting in my closet all this time.

I am trying to have a discussion on Facebook about the racebending issues on the Last Airbender, but keep getting swept off into other narratives about it, and am now unsettlingly angry. Again.

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

I did assume they were going to make it - I really didn't think, deep down, that Pixar would end this franchise with "and they all died horribly in a fire, the end" - but the scene JUST KEPT FREAKING GOING and I'll admit to being pretty worried. I mean they kept NOT ESCAPING! AAAAAAA!!!!!!!

But the Deus ex CLAW was pure awesomecakes with awesomesauce.

move out and draw fire

Though that scene made an interesting narrative/dramatic decision to let the inevitability of their doom go on long enough so that even if I wasn't worried about them, I could feel their despair and then connection in the face of that.

Exactly this, but it made me cry anyway, because I started seeing them as symbols for all the people who've ever faced inevitable horrible death and chosen to face it together.

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

I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with the Zmayhems tonight, and OMG SO AWESOME. Why aren't more people raving about this movie? It's so hilarious and snarky and nerdpower-y. It is the first time I have ever seen a reverse nerdgirl makeover. I boggled at that for like a full minute.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

P-C, I watched that recently and loved it. The reverse makeover was awesome!

Our wings are not tired.

Neat-o! Is that a result of the new deal they've made?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't know. I get alerts everytime Netflix adds something to instant watch and I was particularly pleased today.

I'm going to have a good weekend. I just saw A Room With a View - but I guess it is time to see it again!
