It's pretty awesome. If you like Mako and Stacker, anyway.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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 am the fly who dreams of the spider
Saw Pacific Rim. Fun, and I unexpectedly teared up about five times, some really good emotional beats throughout. One of them was quite random as it reminded me of my grandfather's funeral when we let his ashes go from the bay house in the south shore of Long Island (when the asian peeps were holding hands witnessing the destruction near the beginning of the film).
Even if the movie had sucked, I'd be grateful for the amazing amount of fusion fic it has inspired, at least from what I've seen in SPN and Avenger fandoms.

I spent today in Memphis watching indie films. The Girl Most Likely is sad but pretty good, occasionally funny, and Darren Criss is hot like the sun in it. really, just getting me to enjoy Kristen Wiig after having what I thought was my lifetime fill of her on SNL a year ago was a victory.
I don't know exactly how to describe The Way Way Back, but it's easily the best quality movie I've seen at the theater since The Artist right around last year's Academy Awards, and immensely enjoyable/emotionally satisfying to boot. I've been really entertained by all the summer action movies this year, but it's nice to see some smaller films that make me feel good about the artistry as well as the showmanship.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was just going to come in and post about The Way Way Back! I loved it. A very well done film, with lots of wonderfully true moments. Excellent performances, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For anyone who's going to wait and watch it at home, I feel I should note that it took me a while to warm up to it, and then I also loved it.

And while I haven't seen it yet, it was co-written and -directed by Dean Pelton (aka Jim Rash), for those who didn't know.

He plays a supporting character in it, actually, as does Nat Faxon.

Hilariously, as we were walking out, I realized I didn't know what Nat Faxon looks like, and was wondering who he played. Until I realized... Right, he played the one who I didn't know the actor's name already. That one. Those two sure look like an odd couple!

That Pacific Rim video was gorgeous!
One thing I wondered about the movie: How did they expect the wall thing to work? The kaiju seemed pretty mobile. Wouldn't they have been able to just go around them? Or did they plan to put walls all around every inhabited continent on the planet? And wouldn't that have done a number on food, trade, etc? It seems like an impractical plan on several levels.
