I am very sad that Le dîner de cons was remade as Dinner for Schmucks. That's just an awful title.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

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.

Because books.
I wasn't scared, but I was tense.
See, Blair Witch did it for me, although I was still a bit disappointed at the end. But PA only made me irritable, because they were so ... irritating.
I watch a *lot* of horror, though. Not torture stuff, but generally the scarier the better for me.

Our wings are not tired.
That's so funny, Amy! I was totally irritated with all of the Blair Witch cast and not so much with the PA cast.

So Mal watched Avatar over the weekend, and has spent the last hour poking holes in the plot. He seems most upset by Jake abandoning his blue banshee.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh that is beautiful.
I loved L'Auberge Espagnole because of the way all the different languages and cultures came together in one household. I did think some fo the characters were mean but not all of them and I found their interactions to be more realistic than in your average USian film.

I'm watching Unforgiven again on AMC (they're having a Clint day). Every time I watch this movie, I get something new out of it. I just noticed this time through that the very first scene of the film is about the specific decisions that Little Bill and Skinny make that lead directly to their deaths at the hands of William Munny at the film's climax.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We just watched The Crazies, which is a remake of a George Romero movie from the 70s. I liked it, and it passed my horror movie test of people actually acting intelligently. I only yelled at the screen a few times. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell as the main characters, and the wife was just as smart and effective and active as the husband.

Good to know, Dana! I thought it looked good, and I can always use more Timothy Olyphant in my life.
I love Unforgiven, Sean. I watched it yesterday, too. Really a masterpiece, I think.
