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.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yeah, like remember when rabbits were introduced to Australia and the native ecosystem was so unfamiliar with them that the rabbits were all instantly killed by wallabies? Like that!
The wallabies will cut you, yo.
Oh wow, I loved Dot and the Kangaroo when I was a kid - haven't thought about that movie in years!
It's quite a charming piece of Australian film history. The platypus song - sung by Spike Milligan - proclaims its scientific name to be Ornithorhyncus paradoxus. It's now been determined (there are rules, you know) that its name should be Ornithorhyncus anatinus. (It's Ornithorhyncus, not Platypus, because Platypus had already been made the genus name of a group of beetles.)
There were a bunch of (I suspect rather dubious) sequels made, including one where Dot winds up in Hollywood. For some reason.

Which makes me wonder, are rabbits immune to poison or something? Australian fauna seems to have adapted quite nicely to killing human beings over the past 50,000 years...

I am at this moment watching the series Planet Dinosaur. There was a small gliding dinosaur in China named Sinornithosaurus that has been hypothesised to have had a venomous bite.
Meanwhile, Australia has a longer life expectancy than the US, and indeed most countries on Earth. I blame bears.

I assume there are cardiovascular benefits to fleeing from all the poisonous animals and deadly birds.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It came to mind today, and I tried another search. All I remembered was an animated joey and a girl and such supreme loss. I think I finally found it, and it might be Dot and the Kangaroo. I'd thought for the longest time that it's been an animated TV show. But this makes more sense.
YES! I had the same experience: the vaguely remembered but deeply moving scene that lingered in my mind for years and years, the searches that never found what I was looking for. I finally found out that it was Dot and the Kangaroo a couple of years back, and it was oddly satisfying just to know that the movie actually exists. I don't know if I would want to rewatch it, but it made a huge impression on me as a kid.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I enjoyed Star Trek into Darkness, but I was curiously unengaged at times because while there is a decent Kirk-centric story and Benedict Cumberbatch was born to play a villain, the movie essentially moves from cool set piece to cool set piece, with the occasional nod to the original series. Luckily, these cool set pieces are pretty exciting and things blow up a lot. It's a solid sci-fi action flick, but it's no Iron Man 3.
The movie feels kind of hollow in the end, but it's a good time.

I...am going to see STID Saturday afternoon with DH and friends. I plan on having a couple of drinks beforehand and watching Evil!Cheekboneslock and Eyebrows and spaceplosions. And Irate!KarkUrban. And Pegglicious. All else is superfluous.
And I am not ashamed.
