'Shindig'
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.
Vonnie, how did you like Under the Skin ?
It was hella weird and unnerving. I don't know what to think of it, even weeks afterward. I found it frustrating and largely impenetrable, but there were images from that movie that lingered on and burrowed under my skin, I admit.
ETA: HA! at the totally unintentional (I swear) pun!
Okay, I'll wait on that one (I spoiled myself with the wiki page and the ending didn't suit my personal criteria, to be specific: I don't care for stories where the main character dies )
Finally watching Thor 2, and, man, I was all excited to finally get to see Frigga be a badass, and then I remembered Odin making a point about them all be mortal, and aw man.
(It's a youtube message from Guillermo del Toro about a Pacific Rim animated series (!) and a SEQUEL to the movie (!!))
Yay!!!
Also this Buzzfeed article with more detail says we are probably gonna see Mako and Raleigh again! And the scientists, too. WOOT!
I just want more Ron Perlman.
And the Russians. (NO THEY DID NOT DIE I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.)
Yay!
I am making a sadface at the fact that Snowpiercer only opened in limited release today and I have no idea when I'll get to see it.
Finally saw Captain America Winter Soldier in the theatre. That was a wonderful movie. I'm glad I knew Sitwell went bad, because I hate getting gut punches from characters I like. I kept going "Why, Jasper! Why! How could you do this to Phil!"
Poor Steve and Peggy's wandering memory.
I thought someone said there was a scene of Bucky sitting in a room somewhere? Though him staring at the display in the Smithsonian was cool. (And the kid staring at Steve.)
Fifteen minutes into Furious 6, or whatever the hell F&F6 is called, and damn, but I didn't recognize Mia (Jordana Brewster) because the actress has turned into a skeleton, I was actually quite confused about Brian's shift in love interests. In profile she's alright, but damn, full portrait and she's a wraith and looks like she's on the kind side of fifty with hair dye and face lifts. When it seems like a blink ago she was playing highschoolers. /shallow
