'Objects In Space'
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 had that same phase, my parents like to remind me.
THEY AREN'T WHITE! I'M NOT BLACK!
Meanwhile I was jealous of all the actually brown people. Ebony and the Johnson + Johnson ads were to blame.
l recently found out my sister regarded herself dark like my father and me light like my mother. In truth,we're both high yellow, Daddy's milk chocolate, and my mother could pass for Chinese in her youth. But the shade politics in Ja. are nothing to mess with.
I'm awaiting reactions to The Edge of Tomorrow before I see it. Love the trailers, love TC outside of interviews. And also waffling on the 3D. Heard it was good, and the showings are better for me in that format. But I could also do something constructive around the apartment instead.
The worst thing I've heard about it is that it couldn't stand up to The Fault Stars movie. It's supposed to be better than his last.
I don't care how often he dies--I can't see him do the same thing again with all the raw good intent. Even if he gets a character arc in this one.
I really enjoyed it. Smart script and very entertaining. Emily Blunt is a BAMF throughout.
I think Cruise is a jackass and a tool, but the movie looks pretty good. At least, for a summer movie where things go boom, it looks pretty good (despite being what seems like a retread/mashup of Slaughterhouse 5 and Groundhog Day).
It is basically military sci-fi Groundhog Day, and it's clever and fun and action-packed. I enjoyed it. And Emily Blunt is BAMF-y as hell.
I saw Cruise and Blunt on Graham Norton promoting the movie. She's great, he's a tool, and the movie looks pretty good. I like the Slaughterhouse 5/Groundhog Day concept. Maybe I'll see it this weekend. I'm behind on movies; I need to go spend a weekend at the theater.
His toolness still bothers me distractingly, although I love Emily Blunt and am deciding which superheroine she should play--I read she was cast as Black Widow ahead of ScarJo, and that burns.
Why has my TiVo decided Graham Norton is optional? I didn't see that one.
IO9 really liked it, and I think they used Slaughterhouse 5/Groundhog day to describe it too. Well, at least Groundhog Day, obviously, although it seems more SPN Mystery Spot to me just from the few trailers I saw.
Ah, I love movie/TV equations/elevator pitches.
I read she was cast as Black Widow ahead of ScarJo, and that burns.
Ooh, interesting. Okay, I am with you now, what superheroine should she play, hm. She's too old for Kate Bishop but Kate Bishop needs to happen.
What the hell, Emily Blunt is younger than me.
Well, at least Groundhog Day, obviously, although it seems more SPN Mystery Spot to me just from the few trailers I saw.
It is very "Mystery Spot," with that same sense of humor. The deaths are pretty funny.
MYSTERY SPOT WAS A TRAGEDY.
Yes, I am a fandom outlier in this regard. There is no Dean death so funny that I don't want to cry for Sam, no matter what happens the next (same) morning.
As for Blunt, so far I have cast her as Jessica Jones, but I haven't tossed around that much. She could also do white Betsy Braddock.
After refreshing my Excalibur memory again (I was wondering who in hell could play Meggan--the idea of Anna Faris is cracking my shit up, mainly because I saw bits of her playboy sorority movie yesterday), I'm also wondering about Rachel Summers, who's in my top 5 Marvel women, maybe characters period.
