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.

Sometimes people do seem determined to put meanings where there are none(or, like, not so deep ones) So I occasionally do think that.

Oh, I agree, but that link reminds me of an MLA conference session on Harry Potter (which naturally attracted a good number of non-professionals). During the Q & A afterwards, someone stood up and asked/proclaimed "Doesn't anyone just read for fun anymore?" and then stormed out. I am pretty anti-jargon, but, hello?, it was the MLA. That's what they do.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

There is a female wolf in the Twilight series. She hasn't been seen in the movies released, but she is coming.

While they are definitely more rare than female vampires, both Buffy and Angel had female werewolves. One got to survive (at least through Not Fade Away - who knows what happened to LA afterwards, comics aside), and the other didn't (that would be Veruca).

The Howling also had a couple of significant female werewolves.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Ginger Snaps movies were about a female werewolf as one of the two main characters.

Spoiler tv has the Official Casting Call for The Hobbit.

The title says that there are plot details in case you wonder about spoilers.

The second 'snaps' features the aftermath of the first. Namely, Ginger's little sister's journey. The third is a 'prequel' that covers the historical origins of Ginger's affliction.

There is something about the way all three were made that just makes me happy. They are, on the face of it, super-cheesy. But there is something deeper to get in all of them. And the snarky dialog is worth the price of admission, regardless.

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

Spoiler tv has the Official Casting Call for The Hobbit.

Apparently OneRing.Net (can you believe they're still around? Then again, so are we) said it's false.

Really?

That's too bad because I was happy that we'd get to see Radagast the Brown .
