Holy shit, she totally was. That was some very convincing age makeup!
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And all three of them had Swinton in them!
More amazing still, she wasn't even conspicuously the best thing in all of them, just one pleasure among many.

I'd say she was conspicuously the best part of Only Lovers Left Alive. Sorry, John Hurt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Heads up: Fellowship of the Ring is free on Google Play for the moment (or you can rent it for $2.99) for peeps in the US-- [link] .
ETA:
Apparently outside the US you can get Ritchie's first Sherlock movie free, FWIW.

Kisten Wig and Bill Hader in a film? Yes, please. One would assume comedy but those two have some serious drama chops.

The Skeleton Twins? Yeah, I was just looking at a clip of that today. (The lip sync scene.)

Yup. It's pretty awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently Viola Davis has been cast as Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad. If we have to have a thin Wall, she's one of the best choices, IMO.
I think I'll always love her for the scene in How To Get Away With Murder where she takes off her makeup and false lashes and her wig and just regards herself in the mirror. She can go glam and not--I hope some boundaries are wobbled a little.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, Exodus: Gods and Kings - I have to say, I'm not sure what Ridley Scott had in mind. I feel like no one ever decided what kind of movie this was supposed to be. And I sat through all the credits particularly to see the "No animals were harmed" thingy and there wasn't one.
As we were leaving the two white-haired ladies behind me who also stayed through the credits said they should have cast people who looked like Egyptians, so if that's the target audience: still missing the mark.
