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 went to see Dope with megan walker and it was SO FUN. Really, it's a hella smart, witty, contemporary movie. Could have done more with the female characters, but they weren't insulting, just sidelined. And it's just sharp as hell.
Highly recommended, even if you don't know squat about 90s hip-hop. (The lead character is really into 90s hip-hop.)
Co-signed.
Supposing that I still haven't seen The Iron Giant (despite owning the DVD, I have no explanation for this it's just a mysterious fact of my existence) and it will be showing at the IMAX theater near me, I should just go ahead and get tickets, yes?
Yes.
Yes.
OK, then. Making it so.
I realize the decision has already been made, but I wanted to join in on the "Yes" parade.
Appreciate the support.
I finally got to see It Follows this weekend, and it's the rare modern horror movie that comes off as completely original and truly frightening. I've heard a lot of comparisons to John Carpenter and Wes Craven, but the quiet building of dread strikes me as reminiscent of earlier horror masters like Polanski, Lewton, and Tournier too, even if the setting is more modern.
