Went to see Inside Out. Thought through most of the movie, "Aha, Pixar, this time you have not made me cry." And then I lost that bet.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

Spy was great fun. Not only does Melissa McCarthy freaking OWN the screen, Jason Statham looks like he is having the time of his life.
This. So much this. I haven't enjoyed his presence in a movie so much since the Guy Ritchie days. And Jude Law looks pretty much the same, although from the other direction. All bow down to MM!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw Testament of Youth (based on Vera Brittain's great memoir) and really liked it. Wonderful strong female lead and the film is really her story--what war is like for the women at home. It's a really gorgeously shot film as well.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oo, I want to see Testament of Youth! I loved the BBC production of it so much that it made me read the book, so now I want to see how the new film compares. I also want to see Inside Out, as does Frances. However I suspect we will first be seeing Jurassic World, her brother's movie pick.

If he casts J-Lo as Catwoman I'm going to send mail bombs to Warner Bros.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. I do not know how to feel about that.

Well, duh, you're supposed to feel *OUTRAGE*. This is the Internet, right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I feel... what's the word for bored, mildly irritated indifference?
After the last Batman and Superman movies, I'm just out of care. Reboot them both, give me the Batman and Superman that feels real and familiar to me, and I'm in like Flynn, whoever Flynn is. This dark "gritty" world DC has created in their movies is exhausting and dispiriting to me, and I don't want to play in it anymore.
But that's just me. Alla y'all who're enjoying it, carry on.

Compassionately intolerant
I pretty much always agree with Zen, but no more so than today.
Out. of. care. where Batman is concerned. Saddened but, eh. There are other place to put my attention.
I don't think Ben Affleck is necessarily an automatic kiss of death, and I wish him well, but I won't be lining up for this one.
