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.

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

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.

Someone has selective memory

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.

I've heard Tokoyo Drift is the weakest

It had the best soundtrack: [link]

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.

So I went to see The Sapphires tonight, which is a darling little movie about four Australian aborigine girls who form a Motown girl-band and go to Vietnam to entertain American troops. The sweetest thing is that the screenplay was written by the son of one of the original women who actually did that. And we got a special session after the movie with a guy who's the nephew of the women in the movie.

It's not brilliant, but it's enjoyable and the music is great.

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