1. I did think about the bonfire thing, because...yeah. That makes sense.
2. Seriously, Wolverine is about to die? What's THAT about?
t edit So Lobo stands alone. The main man. (Please don't tell me Lobo can die now, too.)
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Juliebird, I liked Locke for Hardy's performance and the script, which did a nice job with the personal/professional life metaphor. I guess I liked how simple it was in that it did one thing and it did it well. Strangely compelling. I found it visually boring, though.

This is Connie's spoiler post for the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy (which, seriously, is like something from a goddamn Pixar movie): it's a flashback scene to when the main character is maybe 10 or 11, and he's waiting in a hospital because his mom is dying, presumably from cancer. And it's emotional and moving and she dies and he wails and it's like someone took the beginning of Finding Nemo and the flashbacks from Up and smashed them together into one big Let-Us-Punch-You-In-The-Feels-REALLY-HARD scene.
I don't think it's gratuitously emotionally manipulative, though, because it sets stuff up and pays off later, but Jesus God, it's a rough scene. I love love LOVE the soundtrack and can't stop playing it, but I always skip the song from that scene because it gets me right in the feels.

Ah. Yes. Thanks for the warning. I'll grab lots of napkins with my popcorn. And possibly study my fingernails a lot.

But, seriously, after that scene, it's flat-out fun straight through to the end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I want to go to the movies this weekend, but there's nothing I want to see! Has anyone here seen A Most Wanted Man? There is also GotG again, obviously....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I don't remember anyone talking about it here, but I saw Linklater's latest film, "Boyhood", last weekend and loved it a tremendous amount. It's almost three hours long, and kept me engrossed the entire time.

For no good reason, I have no interest in that. I plan to watch it on TV some day.....
