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.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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?
Of course, I kinda wanted that before I saw the movie, too.
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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
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.

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

Out of the whole movie, which had some hilarious moments, the song over the closing credits got the biggest laugh from me.

Crimson Peak was fun. I'm normally not even that into costumes, but OMG, the clothes.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Just got back from The Martian, too! Loved it. And I agree: when the song played over the closing credits, I and several people seated around me spontaneously said, "Awesome."

Crimson Peak was exactly what I wanted it to be: gothic tropes ago-go. I loved it, and want all of Lucille's dresses and Thomas' waistcoats and coats.
