50 Shades of Misinformation About Vision
'The Girl in Question'
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, this is why I've seen every single previous Wachowski film within just the past few weeks.
Or, depending on age, possibly presbyopia.
Signed, Giving This Way Too Much Thought
Our prop master friend did a some work which a guy who had just been on a Tatum shoot. The guy said he mentioned that he was going to try to see Jupiter Ascending, just to be polite, and Tatum actually begged him no to go. Tatum said the film was terrible and no one should have to sit through it.

heh! With a name like that he was pretty much destined to be a strongman!
I once, literally ran into Danny Glover on Market Street in San Fran. We were both walking fast and he rounded a corner and bam! We both quickly apologized and I was several steps away before I realized who he was. Too late. He is taller than me and looked younger than he did in the movies. this was in '88 or '89.

Whoa.
Huh. There are already Tumblr posts making rounds about how this movie is AMAZING and GLORIOUS and other eyebrow raising adjectives. But then, it's Tumblr. Anything there needs to be taken with a bucketful of salt.
Maybe a generation raised on Twilight doesn't need things like coherent plot, believable characterizations, romantic screen chemistry, or female agency to enjoy a movie?
Isn't that the one that's just pictures? Because the visuals do look good in the trailers.
From a post I saw on tumblr, the liking of Jupiter Ascending is because it is so terribly bad that it becomes comical and kind of turns in on itself that way. It sounds like one of those movies MST3K would have loved.
I can now say I have met two more celebrities in person: William Shatner and James Marsters. For whatever reason, a comic con was held in Madison this weekend and actually had some decent guests. I got pictures taken with Shatner and Marsters, plus an autograph from James on the photo. Actually got to chat with him a little about the panel of his I sat through. Surprised the hell out of him when I told him that one of my favorite roles of his was Buzz Aldrin. Also saw Eliza Dushku, but didn't do a photo with her, the timing wasn't right. Although, she did a great panel.
