Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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

I so did not like Let The Right One In. It might qualify for a dysfunctional relationship of the decade, though.

Dana, that is quite the weird list. Gladiator? Really? I enjoyed the movie, but it takes a lot of selling to rank it above so many others. Nice to see Chuck and Buck get a critical mention. Damn, that movie did make me cover my eyes. So uncomfortable.

That list is odd. However, it does make me want to see The Century of the Self.

Sweeney Todd! Sweeney Todd!

(Yes, I wanted those two crazy kids to work it out, and go on making meat pies for years and years.)

Wow. I have only seen three movies on that list! Is that just stats from 2009?

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks. You've reminded me of Slumdog, so I'll take that couple as my favorite of the decade!!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Top rentals of the year and how many times they were rented.

I don't think that includes download rentals, just in-store and online. Though I could be wrong.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ah.

The numbers were pulled last week, and include in-store and by-mail rentals.

So no download rentals.

I thought Eternal Sunshine was romantic as hell.
