I thought they covered how to get a bucket of blood in the first movie, or am I misremembering?
Also, as someone who has had more than her fair share of blood exposure lately, I'd take the fake karo sticky stuff over the real deal any day.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Yes, they did. John Travolta did the deed in fact(iction).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As long as it's a recipe ingredient, it won't really be hard to find. That's not a good reason to replace it in a movie.
After I posted my answer, I googled the question, just in case, and well--there's that now too.
Watched Rush. It's well done, and I could not love Niki Lauda more. I don't care who's on most of the posters, or who's supposed to look like a rat, Niki is my hero. The other guy was hot, but let's focus here.
I couldn't work out if I was spoilt (by history!) by knowing who Niki Lauda is, and knowing he had facial burns, and knowing nothing about Hunt based on my time in the UK in the 80s--and I know jack shit about racing. Wondering if that meant anything didn't hurt the movie in the least--maybe it made it tenser, but at the very least it made it tenser in the right places.
I wish they hadn't pushed it so much as the Hunt story in marketing, but the movie is pretty clear that it's a story of a rivalry. And, enh. Market that full body naked Hemsworth shot.

My lack of plans for tomorrow afternoon has been rectified.

It's from behind, but that's just context, not a mark against (GOOD LORD).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crap, when am I going to see this movie?? Maybe I can talk my cousin into it for next weekend. Or just go in the morning...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ZOMG GRAVITY. SO good, you guys. SO SO GOOD.
For people worried about the 3D in space effects, don't be. The camerawork is gorgeous, no shaky-cam. (I get terribly motion sick in planes, so I was worried.)
The whole movie is just indescribably beautiful. See it in IMAX, in a theater with Atmos sound if possible. (The score is a wee bit overbearing, but the sound design is phenomenally detailed, and the surround speakers are very well used.)

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
A review put me off it, what with the "you'll feel like you're there!" and when it came to something that looks to me like a slow death in space, or burning up in the atmosphere, it sent me running for the hills shouting "hells no!".

Jess, can you allay my worry that it's it's going to be like that movie with the couple stranded in the ocean?
