Huh, I had no idea that the Winter Soldier was that recent.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

So, in Old News news, I only just FINALLY saw The Hobbit pt.1.
Now I've watched it three times in the last 24 hours, and the riddle scene breaks me into weepy little pieces every time.

Also, Martin Freeman continues to be the most adorable human being on the face of the anything under the everything ever.

That's awesome.

It also speeds up the rate of my eye-rolling over Warner Bros. suing to make the recent production change its name over that 1916 The Butler movie...

Ha, I didn't know there was an old movie called The Fast and the Furious. They did buy the rights just to use the title.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
We saw "12 Years A Slave" last night. I hadn't read any thorough reviews of the film prior to seeing it and I knew about as much of the plot that was obvious from the title.
It is an excellent movie. The acting is top notch but the director was just so skillful. I am pretty much in awe of what he accomplished. A story very effectively told. If you know the history of chattel slavery in the US there are no surprises here. And yet...the movie resisted nearly all the opportunities to be trite.
All told it is an amazing amazing accomplishment. It deserves all of the kudos and awards.

He's an amazing director. Have you read Northup's account of his ordeal that the movie was based on? It's about the most visceral look at slavery from the inside possible, and should be required reading in every f'ing US History class ever.
(And to point out what shouldn't need pointing out, but often does because people want to pretend things weren't as bad as they were and/or were just made to fit an abolitionist narrative, yes, though he was an educated man, he did have help with the writing, but that doesn't mean that key parts of his story have not been historically substantiated, because they have.)
