The Avengers preview was the one time during the Super Bowl that I leaned forward and told everyone (aka my parents) to be quiet...
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

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 I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Do NOT go, Kate. Really.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
More than the original Dutch version of The Vanishing?
I never thought of that as depressing; just hellaciously creepy and disturbing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I sometimes have up a movie release calendar overlay on my normal calendars, but there's too much bullshit up in there. I need to make an "important movie" calendar, so those dates are all obvious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm really not sure it's the best movie to see while pregnant
Like I said, I only watched about ten minutes of it, but I think I can say conclusively that it is the WORST movie to see while pregnant.

Because books.

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

Oh god.
Yeah, I'll be giving this one a miss, then.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I think I can say conclusively that it is the WORST movie to see while pregnant.
I borrowed Grave of the Fireflies from someone, held onto it for a couple of weeks without daring to actually put it in the DVD player, and finally returned it unwatched.
And for reading matter I strongly, strongly advise against even going near Nevil Shute's On The Beach (never saw the movie so don't know how it compares, but if it's even remotely faithful to the book it too is a big giant AVOID AVOID AVOID) and Roald Dahl's short story "Royal Jelly."
The Dahl isn't so much despairing as unbelievably creepy and disturbing and likely to unsettle you right out of your skin. Reading it while breastfeeding (i.e., actually sitting there with the thing propped up on a pillow next to me in bed while Matilda nursed) was a truly, truly terrible decision. DON'T DO IT.
