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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm still always going to be sad that I'll never see Alan Cummings' one-man Macbeth, but Branagh/Kingston sounds like an excellent consolation prize (if prize is even an appropriate word for that play (and now I have to go rewatch S2 of Slings & Arrows right now)).
I really, really loved the Whedon ensemble Much Ado. Better than Branagh's? I dunno, and I dun care. It's Shakespeare; it's meant to have multiple takes on it out there floating around. I want more Much Ados. More all of them. Except that really all the Much Ados from now on into perpetuity should have Fillion and Lenk.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Lenk is tiny. Talking to Lenk and Danny Strong a a party made me feel not-short which is very rare occurrence.

Lenk is tiny.
Okay. Because Nathan Fillion looked HUGE next to him. It was crazy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fillion is a delicious amount of large, but not scary.

The MacBeth is playing in my local theatre, so I wouldn't be surprise if it played pretty wide. It's the National Theatre's 50th, so they are also rebroadcasting some of their popular NT Live shows.
Also Tom Hiddleston is doing Coriolanus for them in the winter. [link]
t /still a little bitter they didn't hire me

I saw NT Live's The Audience w. Helen Mirren last week. I left at the interval. The performances were fine, but the play was meh. I don't really care that much about humanising the Queen or British PMs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Saw Much Ado. Liked it. Thought Reed Diamond and Clark Gregg were especially good, and Amy Acker was great. I also liked Fran Kranz in what's a pretty difficult role. It probably helps that I'm in the middle of a Dollhouse watch.
