In the famous people who are even more attractive in real life category: Gerard Way. This is not just my swooning crush talking. He's astonishingly pretty.
He's very pretty, but looks about the same in real life as he does in pictures.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I am as Zen in the hug department. Although, as I've gotten older, I have learned to hug more, at least my family. 'ffistas have taught me to ask first about strangers, but will hug with zeal when given clearance. I just tend to release from hugs fairly quickly, because they still don't feel quite natural to me. Not that I don't like them! I just am never sure how long a hug should last.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So, Jess, tell us how you feel about Jupiter Ascending.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, Jess, tell us how you feel about Jupiter Ascending.
I can't. I'm too sad.

Is that the one where Channing Tatum plays a Keebler elf who rescues the snotty girl on That Seventies Show from space pirates?

Yes, but the way you describe it makes it sound like a good movie.

It's like Guardians of the Galaxy meets Dune but they don't have anything to say to each other so they just stand around awkwardly for two hours and then leave.

I do have to laugh about how Tatum finally put in a performance that got people to start taking him seriously as an actor in Foxcatcher and it's immediately deep-sixed by trailers of him in a space opera with frosted troll hair and Vulcan ears. Eddie Murphy must be facepalming in sympathy right now.

Okay, so I love the Wachowskis. I love everything they have ever put on film, full stop, no exceptions, warts and all. I love their corny tacked-on love stories and their ridiculous obsession with telephones and elevators. I went into Jupiter Ascending fully confident that no matter how much of an unholy mess it was, that I would love it anyway because it would be an unholy Wachowski mess.
And it was so, so, so terrible.
The movie shows clear signs of studio fuckery - delayed release, awkward voiceover intro, bizarre pacing issues. So there is that to take into account. But the script that wound up onscreen is so inexplicably awful that I'm not sure the original directors' cut would have been much better.
Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis have whatever the opposite of chemistry is. Maybe in the future humans are so evolved that uncontrollable sexual attraction looks a lot like dead-eyed boredom?
Jupiter does literally nothing the entire movie. The way the movie seems to be structured, you think oh, she's the Chosen One, and oh, AWESOME they're gonna reverse the Trinity Syndrome! But, NOPE. Her ENTIRE STORYLINE is being repeatedly kidnapped and talked into making terrible decisions until Channing Tatum rescues her at the last minute. OVER AND FUCKING OVER AGAIN. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, W's. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

The costumes look pretty? That's pretty much the only thing I've taken from the trailers.
