Buffistas

I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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.

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

Right. I need to rent State of Play and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

I thought Eternal Sunshine was romantic as hell.

I'm not sure what I missed about that movie that everyone else got. Might have been my heart. Or my sense of magic. I totally didn't get it. I thought it was twee, and I didn't feel for either of the protagonists or care if they ever got together.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I thought it was twee,

Gondry might be twee, but Kate Winslet's performance sure wasn't. That anchored the movie emotionally for me.
