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.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Also finally saw The Martian this weekend. Took my mom, who hadn't read the book, so was actually convinced he wasn't going to make it. I read the book first, so it wasn't nearly so tense for me, but still really enjoyable.
Was it just me, or did y'all keep flashing on the Freaky Friday episode of Community when we first met Rich Parnell?

I got to see Crimson Peak in a Superlux theatre, with chairs you could sink up to your chin in, and waitrons to bring you popcorn, regular food, and/or adult beverages.
I could have been happy just to watch the costumes, and occasionally notice there were actors inhabiting them, but luckily the acting values were up to the fabric.
I came away from it reflecting that many pre-Raphaelite paintings could only be improved by depicting knife fights.

Despite knowing, in some sense, that Jessica Chastain was in the movie, I completely did not recognize her, between the hair color and the accent.

Me either. When I first saw her, I thought "would they do a Michael Douglas de-aging on Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio for an entire movie?"
I was also doubting myself about Jim Beaver and remembered to double check the credits to make sure it was him. Not the slightest trace of Bobby Singer in that role.

I JUST WATCHED THE TRAILER SO EXCITED.
But where is LUKE?
And why is Leia only being comforted?

I sort of recognized Jim Beaver, and I knew it was someone from Deadwood, but I had to check the cast list to be sure. He was quite good.
