I'm sorry to hear that Jess, in my memory NY was way better than SF in that regard.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

I've seen people give up seats on AC Transit. Although generally only when I pointedly look at the kid and say, "offer your seat".
... or I do it myself. Even when surrounded by high school kids.

Hi, zenkitty. I'm not mew (ha, too good a typo to correct), I just am deep in lurkerdom. The combined power of Keanu and obscure movies compelled me to de-lurk.
In a desparate attempt at topicality, I finally saw Mockingjay part 1 this weekend. Woody Harrelson, as usual, stole his scenes, and damn, Donald Sutherland can still bring the creepy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Who could resist the power of Keanu?

Because books.

I never would have guessed how perfect he would be as Haymitch.

For those interested, Insurgent is a fun, popcorn flick. Lots of action that often kept me on the edge of my seat. At times it felt repetitive in terms of narrative/style choices, but I certainly enjoyed myself while watching. And, as with the first film, I appreciated the many roles for women. Other than that, it's a standard superhero movie.
I'm not sure you would appreciate it if you hadn't at least seen the first movie. I haven't read the book, and the action made sense to me while watching, but I was surprised to find how much of the plot they had changed when I came home and read the Wikipedia summary. So fans of the book should be prepared for that.

Joining the Keanu love fest. So glad some that disparaged him in the past are coming around.

Not so much. Speed is pretty much the only one of his I can watch.

Love Keanu and ain't no shame in my game. As megan walker knows, I paid folding money to see 47 Ronin in the theater. First run. It's deep between me and Keanu.

Though I absolutely hated where it ended up, While We're Young was quite enjoyable in an ironic hipster Brooklyn kind of way. Of course, given that I am going to the eye doctor tomorrow to finally get progressives, it hit a little too close to home at times.
