Just back from Spy. It takes a while to get going but was very enjoyable with many laugh points.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Has anyone seen the new movie out where The Rock fights an earthquake?
I did. I was troubled by the same thing as Consuela, particularly because after the initial quake the Rock and Ms. the Rock heard from their daughter and knew she was safe. They were not genre savvy enough to know that she was going to be hit with one perilous situation after another over the next few hours and need rescuing. The Rock should have dropped his wife off somewhere safe and joined in with the first responders in LA, where there were more than enough people in need of rescue to keep him busy.
I did absolutely love the moment when Ms. the Rock left her (ex)boyfriend the message that if he wasn't already dead she was going to kill him for abandoning her daughter.

I'm sorry to report I was rather disappointed by Inside Out. It was just too damn sad. Also, if you have a fear of heights or clowns, potentially fucking terrifying. At least Lava (the Pixar short) was adorable?

Thank you for the phobia warning. The latter thing you mentioned isn't as mind-numbingly terrifying to me as jillifonts, but I damn sure don't like them.

I don't have the latter issue, but there were parts I couldn't watch because of heights. And there are multiple instances. I thought that the trailer for THE WALK was difficult, but this was so much worse.

Yeah, the trailer to The Walk nearly made me vomit and I don't do that.

I don't know whether to be appalled by this and 50 Shade of Grey or enthusiastic at the signs that there will eventually be a Dean/Cas movie.

I can't tell from that article what to think. But I think I lean towards enthusiastic.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We finally saw Fury Road today, so I went back and read what everyone said about it. This was Jesse's comment, and it's almost exactly what I said to Tim when the movie ended:
I will say, at first I was a little "Huh" and "???" and then the guitar kicked in, I laughed out loud, and was in for the ride.
As soon as I saw the guitarist, I laughed my ass off, and the movie had me. Say what you will about Immortan Joe being a horror; the man knows how to travel in style.
Also, oh, NUX.
I think it was Plei who said on FB that this movie is how to do reproductive horror correctly, and that is so dead on. When Immortan Joe howled, "That's my property!", I physically recoiled.
The only detail that kept yanking me out was: in a postapocalyptic world, they still have blood-typing kits? Gasoline, bullets, chrome spray paint, and blood-typing kits.
Finally, it was super-convenient that Tim had a collapsed lung 2 weeks ago, so I totally knew what Max was going to do to Furiosa.
