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.

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

Some may remember me posting here last year about my local theater doing a silent film series with live Wulitzer music. Last year we saw The General, and we enjoyed it so much that this year we saw Wings. So much Hoyay! I had never seen a full film with Clara Bow in it before (although I did know who she was). I can see why she was the "It Girl". There was also a minute long appearance by a young Gary Cooper.

Just like all the posters with women looking over their shoulders.

Except he's not twisted so you can see both pecs as well as his ass.

Though I'd rather be looking at RDJ's butt, as attractive as the armor is.

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

But you can see robo-pec of the suit in front of him. It's GENIUS. Diabolically genius.

But, yeah, maintaining structural integrity is an important distinction between so many defaults of women hero pictures--by putting an object of interest in front of him, there's a reason for him to be facing away from the audience, and it helps make the picture have a bit of a narrative--you can properly imagine he was interrupted during something perfectly sensible, as opposed to experimenting to see if his pelvic girdle could imitate the optical illusion of an owl swivelling his head (which, truth be told, would only not occur to Tony if he knew he'd designed it in already).

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

See, my reaction after having read a particular fic is: is the gold flap on his bum so he can go potty?

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

If that suit doesn't ram a tube up his jacksie, I'd be very disappointed. I'm also assuming catheter. It's the only way to be sure.

And you know Tony Stark lives for questions about what he does with his dick.
