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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Just saw What We Do in the Shadows a totally hilarious and charming film about vampires in New Zealand, made by Jermaine Clement (half of Flight of the Conchords) and the unknown to me, but now a total crush, Taika Watiti. If it's near you, go see it! I can't imagine a Buffista not enjoying the hell out of it,
Saw it Friday. Randomly laughed out loud throughout the weekend thinking of the funniest lines.

FYI: There was a color remake of On the Beach at some point.
There was?
I only know this because I saw the DVD at the library last week. A made-for-TV movie with Armand Assante, Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown.

I'm assuming the "wash bring" was an autocorrect of "wishing".

Hey. New board.
We just saw Big Hero 6 on digital rental. I should have just said "marvel Disney animated movie ajoht robots" to myself before renting, and bought it instead. Definitely a movie I will be watching again with little Calvin. So fun!
It wasn't as good as the Lego Movie, but it was very good, and I am more likely to rewatch it due to the Disney style heart factor.

Another option for the mystery Philly movie is Lt. Robin Crusoe USN. And it's a Disney movie. Though I don't know how the deep red glowing pit or computers fit in. The show is over. I hope they announce the answer tomorrow.

There were more jokes in the Lego Movie, but more heart in Big Hero 6 (IMO). Lovely movie.

Hey. New board.
Absolutely true. But it wasn't as good at heart as Lego was at funny. Or maybe there is just more competition in the animated heart space. Big Hero 6 fell squarely in the Pixar competitive zone, and held up well but didn't crush it; it felt kind of like a Finding Nemo / Incredibles combo, which is very high praise as those are my two favorite Pixar movies, but it didn't exceed them. Lego was competing with... Shrek, I guess? Kind of the South Park movie but more kid friendly? Honestly, it felt like nothing I had seen and knocked being whatever it was out of the park.
But as I said, I will be buying BH6 on bluray because even slightly derivative (in a good way!) fun heart is infinitely rewatchable. And maybe Calvin will give me a break from Cars if we have it readily available.
