I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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.

Yeah, I saw Warren Ellis' name on a line with a bunch of other comic writers that did significant Iron Man stuff, like Bob Layton and David Micheline.

Ah, imdb is listing Mike Massa as lead stunt double on IM3. The credit may have been on its own line somewhere rather than the big stunt section I was looking through in the theater.

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

Oh, god, speaking of "doubles" I swear there was an awful Cheadle doubling--you see Rhodey approaching a wall, and what flashed through my head was "who's the new black guy in the polo shirt?" followed by "why are all the black guys in polo shirts?" before realising it was supposed to be him. It was blurry, but it felt like they blurred weirdly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

RIP Ray Harryhausen.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I hope he and Ray Bradbury are having a great time in the afterlife, playing with toy monsters.

It couldn't have outdone the bad doubling for the Russian mobster in the Avengers scene where Black Widow wrapped the chain around his neck. That stand-in was obviously taller, thinner, and had a wig that looked like someone rubbed an overfull lint trap from a clothes dryer over his head. It was really barely a step up from Princess Vespa's stunt double in Spaceballs.

I'm assuming you preferred the suddenly-male Black Widow during her chair flip?

I missed that one... and dammit, too busy at work this afternoon to run home and pop in my DVD to see how I could have missed it!

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

The Ender's Game trailer is out:

Hopefully they haven't frelled up the ending quite as badly as the trailer makes it look...

I guess it could be a woman, but really points are primarily deducted for looking nothing like the actor, not for being a different gender: [link] Check those delts.

J-Lo's male stuntdouble is pretty slick, after all.
