All three of those movies had a profound on my life and vocation.
The Day After led me to walk across the country. Testament led me to become a professional peace activist, and Fail Safe was riveting.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It's SO SO GOOD. If it weren't for all the ghosts and walls running with blood I would want to live there and wear big poofy sleeves and high collars forever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I realize they have nothing in common except the director, and the words aren't actually that similar, but every time I see Crimson Peak, I think it's talking about Pacific Rim.

I just got back from Crimson Peak. So. Much. Fun! I want to wear poofy sleeves and be enigmatic while banging Tom Hiddleston.
Of course, I kinda wanted that before I saw the movie, too.
But now I have a color palette and lace combo in mind.

The casting really is pitch perfect.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought Crimson Peak was okay. I felt like it took foreeeeeeeverrrrrrr to get to the fucking house, and then the ghosts, even though they looked cool, didn't really...do...much. So I was probably expecting/wanting a different movie than what I got, even though del Toro helpfully explains at the very beginning that it's not a ghost story but a story with ghosts in it. Of course it looks beautiful and there are some nice moments, but I didn't really connect with it. Still had a good time, though.

I just got back from seeing The Martian! I found it riveting and at time amusing. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Not spoiled and I'm glad.
I am however, convinced that either Ridley Scott or his sound designer deliberately chose disco as the music of torture just to have the particular song play over the credits at the end.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The disco part was in the book, but the song over the closing credits was PURE GENIUS.
