She already was an indie darling by that time. Her career started very early.

The Magnificent Seven, comes out this weekend I believe. A remake of an old western right? Should I watch the original and ruin the new one for myself?

Watch Seven Samurai, the original original.

It's not like Magnificent Seven is a bad movie though.  It's in fact a very good classic of the genre.

Watch both.

First thing I did when I got home was put a copy of both on my desktop.

So, that was a great movie. Lets think about this, I watched a 1954 B&W 3 1/2 hour long Japanese movie, with no subtitles. And I still consider it a great movie. 

Now I hope it does not ruin the western adaptation I'll watch tonight. But I don't think so, as I love westerns and cowboys speak English .

How and why did you get your hands on an unsubtitled version of Seven Samurai?

I mean, it's a real thing, and it is hot, I mean gross.  But to nitpick, Gangster Squad is using the wrong actor (and perhaps others are as well): in that, Emma Stone is Sean Penn's moll, and it's intended to be gross; her actual partner is Ryan Gosling again.

Watched Office Space again. Still a wonderful movie.

Personally, I dig it.  Unrealistic, but so is porn.

I think it's far more concerning that the women in question are aging at regular intervals.  You could die from that.

Ide, I think you should find and watch My Bodyguard, if you haven't already.  Chris Makepeace, Matt Dillon, Adam Baldwin. 1980.

Did not ruin it at all, on the contrary, made me appreciate the adaptation of the Seven Samurai story while still a great western in itself. Definitely a classic of the genre, and what a fucking cast.

I finally watched Zootopia.  Now that was a fun movie!
