COME BACK SHANE!
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.
"I just love Shane!"
Wow, she's hot...
What? Is she even close to that hot in the flesh?
Just got back from seeing The Princess and the Frog with Matilda. I don't think I can even say anything about it yet; I'm just all hand-flappy swoony squee. I want to see it about eleventy-million more times. SWOON.
It got a bad review in our local weekly. I'd love to hear a positive reaction though because I was very excited to see it.
I've heard that it's a very good movie in classic Disney 2-D animated form....
Here's the review. The reviewer seems mostly irritated that it didn't focus or address racial relations enough. [link]
Is she even close to that hot in the flesh?
She looks much the same, though she is pretty short, which surprised me. I thought of her as tall and lanky, but she is short and lanky. Weird. Dressed just like Shane and with Shane hair, too.
She moves like she takes up a lot of space, I think.
Princess and Frog
So many posters on my adoption lists are furious that the first black female lead in a Disney animation spends most of the film as a frog. There was something else that bugged them, but now I can't recall. I am not sure mac wants to see it, he seems to flip-flop on it, he can;t decide if it is too much of a girls' movie.
OTOH he say Fantastic Mr. Fox with his uncle and liked it. Uncle loved it.

The Prince isn't black?
