Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
If John Wick looks like the kind of movie you want to see, you definitely want to see it.
Everything I've read about it makes me want to see it and you just sold me P-C. Got to see Gone Girl first though because I just finished the book and am dying to see some of those actors in their roles (I'm looking at you, Kim Dickens).
(I'm looking at you, Kim Dickens).
She's so good.
Any fan of Sherlock or Elementary (or Holmes variations of any kind) should see Zero Effect. That's the first time I remember seeing Kim Dickens in anything and I've looked out for her in roles ever since.
I love Zero Effect. Also one of the few movies I enjoyed Ben Stiller in.
I remember really disliking Zero Effect but I can't remember why.
Kim Dickens I mostly know from Deadwood. Where she was wonderful.
Did anyone else see Book of Life? I thought it was pretty cool, what did you think?
We enjoyed it. My friend and I were talking about how even though Joaquin isn't, "Our" hero, and he was backed by the evil guy they didn't make him a villain. Kind of not even an anti-hero. Even though his character was kind of a caricature, you never hated him. Maybe because he never twirled that moustache he was so proud of.

Well, Bill Pullman's Holmes equivalent was a deeply unpleasant character. But that's actually one of the reasons I liked the movie, so there you go.

Oh, and agreed on Dickens in Deadwood. And Treme as well.
In A World: I know there's some meta-commentary about the narrative choices they made, but still, so gross with the misogyny, especially coming from incestuous sources. And I get it, this shit is gross, and what better way to highlight that than to have your dad and one-night stand talking about you like that.
I also think that married fathers who still go "hubba hubba" at younger women in public are gross and shouldn't have daughters. Probably because as a non-parent, I can't see that line between how you'd treat a younger woman and how you'd treat your daughter, and I also can't reconcile how you'd want your daughter to be viewed and treated and how you view and treat other women/girls. /Natter
I watched that the other day too! I agree, it's gross, but I thought it did a good job of staying on the "it sucks but this is the world she lives in" side of gross.
I loved the midwestern step-mom/groupie/whatever by the end.
I thought it was a very enjoyable movie.
