I found it a weird movie. It seemed like it was driven by the thought experiment: what would happen if we made a movie where we left out all the most important plot points? I mean it's clear that things happen to these people, and eventually I figured out what happened and who it happened to, but even that's open to interpretation. Like I'm pretty sure I disagree with Gris about which son Sean Penn plays. Which, if you think about it, pretty much says right there why it's a weird movie.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hey. New board.
Honestly I might just have forgotten. It was a long time ago.

Recently I saw someone on another message board commenting on some presumably bad romantic drama, and another poster said that it was still a better love story than Twilight.
I couldn't resist interjecting that Bluebeard was a better love story than Twilight.

Unfortunately Twilight is a better love story than Fifty Shades (only say unfortunately in that something actually is below Twilight).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well, they're the same love story, so does that really count?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love Todd VanDerWerff's write-up of the Fast & Furious franchise, complete with trailers, GIFs, infographics, and lines like "This is America reimagined as a fireball."
I'm seeing the new one tomorrow!!!

Catching up on a couple movies!
Big Hero 6 - LOVED! I'm so adopting "Woman up" as a phrase! Also will now start saying "bah da la da la da la" when I explode after a fist bump.
But I was seriously pissed off when they killed the brother. I had just gotten done saying "Of course the parents are dead. But at least the older brother is really cool!"
Jupiter Ascending - I enjoyed the movie, but I went in with really low expectations. I was expecting Jupiter to be a dithering idiot, and she was anything but. I wasn't bored, and the movie was beautiful! Sadly, most of the people I work with think the movie was stupid.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
