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.

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

I didn't see that coming, and I hope it's not true.

Heh. Someone has selective memory: he died in Tokyo Drift! He was the best part of that movie, so I'm glad they found a way to bring him back.

From everything I've heard Tokoyo Drift is the weakest and you're better off reading the Wikipedia summary than actually watching it.

The second one is the weakest. I like Tokyo Drift, but mostly because Sung Kang is awesome.

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

I believe that is the only one I have seen from beginning to end. Man, that is not a good movie.

Lucas Black is really not a good actor, even if he did grow up pretty.

He was so good as a kid too.

Apparently, Beau agreed to go to FF. I can hardly believe it. 9:25 showing here we come.

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

Oh, I don't deny that for a second. I remember next to nothing about 2 and 3.

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

It had the best soundtrack: [link]

oh, we aren't going tonight after all. All the good seats are taken for the rest of the night!

It was a decently attended matinee, considering. Fewer than Trek, but more than the past other two or three. Vocal--lots of laughing (I think the hoyay was getting to the chick beside me on top of the flamboyant stunts) and very enthused clapping, and the mid-credit scene got a big "ooooh!" out of us all--it's right after the credits start, so you probably won't miss it, but definitely don't leave early.

I just stumbled across the weekend ratings:

1. Fast & Furious 6 $38,200,000 $38.2
2. The Hangover III $14,530,000 $26.2
3. Star Trek Into Darkness $10,200,000 $119
4. Epic $9,350,000 $9.3
5. Iron Man 3 $5,113,000 $353.1

That's a record for F&F. I think it's the Rock influence.
