Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

Matt, I am super sensitive to motion sickness, like, had to leave the theater during the first Hunger Games movie levels of sensitive.

I had no problems with Gravity. Just FYI, Fwiw.

Thanks Conseula. It's not really motion sickness behind my concern though (I love roller coasters and driving through hills). More the combo of wide open space and claustrophobia - I had to leave the theater during Sunshine when Cillian Murphy did his spacewalk. Everything I've read and seen in trailers tells me Gravity would be like that scene stretched out over 90 minutes.

Weirdest effect of Gravity for me was that the 3D was so successful that I kept turning my head to keep up with a rotating Sandra Bullock and getting knocked out of the 3D effect.

My biggest nitpick of the most shallow degree was a very tense/emotionally charged scene near the end, and I couldn't help notice in the extreme closeup that the makeup department had done a horrible job on Evans' hair dye, as his black beard was bristling with blond at the ends.

That may be natural--I'd have to find color pics of his more recent facial hair adventures, though. His hair is fairly dark, it just gets bleached a lot for movies.

Also, anybody who thinks Chris Evans is just another pretty face needs to hear his story near the end. Horrifying monologue and delivered just perfectly.

I know, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course my friends I saw it with and I have been joking about that ever since.

Because we are terrible people.

I don't think any of my cry points at DotPotA involved people.

I liked it. Lots of obvious plot devices but entertaining and moving nonetheless. And I just love how this movie really shows how the original world might have come into being.

Well, it's only logical, right? Like veal. And yes, that is what I was thinking right after I heard the line.
