Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Mixed reviews for the Farsi vampire movie A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Were you planning on seeing it, Jilli?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am planning on seeing it. I can see how it could work, or be a mess.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Reviews seem to agree in a way. It is a film full of gorgeous images, evokes a mood, without much in the way or story, or even idea. Whether you find it empty or marvelous depends on how much style and mood and impression can carry a film for you. Makes me curious.

I was planning on catching it whenever it came to Netflix. It certainly looks pretty.

I'm not sure if you mentioned your actual opinion of the movie. How did you feel about Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive? I FUCKING loved it. From the Hammer fonts to the argument at the end that they would turn the couple and who would turn who and just oh my such a good movie.
ETA And the great freeze frame at the end!!!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I really liked the cinematography and of course Tilda Swinton is captivating in anything, but I think I'd have liked it better if Jim Jarmusch's idea of brilliant music didn't map so closely to my idea of discordant noise. Had an easier time buying Hiddleston as an ageless supernatural creature than a successful Rock musician.

Incoherent, hand-waving glee? It was a lush opium dream of a vampire movie, and I watch my BluRay of it A LOT. And am very happy that Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's "Blood Popsicle" scent from their Only Lovers Left Alive line works well with my body chemistry.

I really like the soundtrack, but I also get how it would be discordant noise to other people. And the scene in the super-underground club of people dancing to Adam's music was kind of laughable to me, because dark noise music hipsters don't do anything as uncool as dance to the music they listen to.

There is so much pretty there. It's pacing wasn't quite what I expected but I love watching it. I like my vampires pensive and existential.

So so pretty! The blu-ray will be at the top of my Christmas list this year.
