I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Do I need to read more than "that Tom Hiddleston/Tilda Swinton vampire movie by Jarmusch" to swoon? No, I do not. But I will (eventually), because I'm sure I can swoon more.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I was thinking of you as I read it, Jilli!

It's starting to feel like I am the precise target market for the movie. I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT IDEA.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT IDEA.

Hell yeah!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The first thing I heard about that movie was not long after Avengers came out, when someone posted somewhere that she'd gotten Hiddleston's autograph and he was so sweet and accommodating but he was in costume as a vampire for his new movie and all bloody. I didn't believe it, because it was TOO PERFECT.

Veronica Mars was very fun. It is definitely a film for fans and it's good if you have the show fresh in your mind as there are many, many call backs to the series throughout.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Do you think people who haven't seen it will enjoy it?

Hard to say. It's well done I think, but it definitely had an extended TV episode vibe.

I thought it did a pretty good job of providing background and explaining context, but the critic I went with hadn't watched the series since it was on and knew he was missing a lot of inside jokes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's well done I think, but it definitely had an extended TV episode vibe.

Or a compressed TV season vibe.

At the afterparty, a couple industry people who had only ever seen one or two episodes said they still loved it. Anyone who goes in with no background will know they're missing something because obvs but it won't affect the appreciation of the actual story of the movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
