I always thought it a shame that there were never any sequels to or alterations of the Star Wars trilogy.
The above refers to the old xkcd Matrix strip: [link]
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I finally saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy last night. It started off kind of slow, to me, but after 15 minutes or so I was totally sucked in. It reminded me of a David Lynch movie in that I found myself actively scanning for possible meaning in any given scene or interaction, because you never knew when a detail might be important. Gary Oldman was amazing. Tom Hardy was as beautiful as I've ever seen him. And I couldn't take my eyes off Benedict Cumberbatch in most of his scenes. He looked downright physically intimidating in one scene, and that's not something I've really associated with his other characters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clip from Haywire. I'm disappointed with how wooden an actress she is (though she was better than her colleague there), but I will be there for the fight scenes and the pretty people.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just got passes to a free screening on Tuesday, but I don't know if I'll go. It's my only free night next week.

For some reason, I became mildly obsessed with the idea of passes to a free screening of this specific movie. I should support badassed woman kicking serious heiney with my dollars, but I'm scared this movie will suck, despite all the other talent.
(Who the fuck puts Channing Tatum in the same movie as Ewan McGregor and Fassbender? Why you want to do that to me?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Hey, how do you feel about Saturday morning matinees? I can't recommend them highly enough.
