I'm not sure if you mentioned your actual opinion of the movie. How did you feel about Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive?

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.

if Jim Jarmusch's idea of brilliant music didn't map so closely to my idea of discordant noise.

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.

That, or gleeful killers. None of this "I am a monster and I am overcome with despair! No, no, don't come near, I am A KILLER" whinging.

In other words, I want Adam, Eve, and Kit from OLLA, Lestat, or the vampires from 30 Days of Night. Oooh, and the vampires from Penny Dreadful.

I had no beef with the instrumentals in the Tangiers scenes, and I really liked "Trapped by a Thing Called Love," but whenever Adam or anyone else was supposed to be playing his music it sounded like feedback to me.

All the music just FLOWED over me. I'm not sure what that means. But dear doG, the end scene made me cackle with laughter for so long I think the people in the theater I saw it with thought I was demented (which I might have been).

Saw Interstellar tonight. Loved it, though the friend I saw it with brought up a good question, although I think I answered it to myself on the drive home.

Basically why if Coop could just take a ship out to get to Anne Hathaway's character hadn't anybody else done so. The answer I arrived at was that he'd basically just woken up after who knows what and hadn't gotten around to telling anyone about her. And then his daughter told to go to her, so he did. Terribly sentimental, but the movie was very sentimental in a Nolan sort of way.

Also, can I just say - I want a TARS of my own for Xmas, please please PLEASE! Chunky but one of the best robots ever!!!

Also, on a completely different note, we saw it at the Chestnut Hill LUX theater which is exactly that. D says he never wants to got to another theater ever again, but while it was definitely LUX, I thought the staff moving around, while they were very, very discreet and good at what they did were still distracting as hell. Also, I'm not sure I really enjoy eating dinner during a movie. On the other hand, there was the thing of seeing a movie in nice theater in the equivalent of a Lazy-Boy which was nice. But I think I'll leave that to D and his wife unless circumstances are perfect like they were today. Too expensive and for the movies I generally see, I don't get the rowdy crowds (and for the ones that I do, I choose my theaters carefully).

Also, dear lord, what a cast.

ETA, can you tell I REALLY liked this movie?

Just saw "Foxcatcher" and found it good but oh so very lugubrious. The entire film takes place in the universe of No Fun Ever. Really strong performances, though.
