Damn you movie, I swore going in that I'd enjoy you for what you were worth but not let a million tendrils into my brane.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Skipping all the SW talk. I just got back from MockingJay Pt 2. There doesn't seem to have been any discussion about it.
I was underwhelmed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I thought it was a satisfactory conclusion to the series, quester.

Me too, but I really hated the book so I went in with pretty low expectations.

I didn't read the books, I just went to the movies. After all the excitement of the previous films, this one seemed like a let down.

my one big reaction was unfortunately a Robot Chicken one. When Han stepped onto the catwalk I was expecting there to suddenly be a shot of a custodian down below innocently sweeping away only to suddenly curse his luck and wish for a transfer to Coruscant.
But I loved it. I loved it so so much and all I could think afterwards was how could they get this so right and the other three so so wrong.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I haven't seen the last two Hunger Games films, but I had wondered all along about breaking Mockingjay into two books as so much of the last part of the final book was denouement; very fitting and appropriate to the series, but I wasn't sure how it would translate to film.

Imagine that feeling, but a thousand times worse, and you will have some idea of what reading Mockingjay is like.

Hey. New board.
I'm watching a fan edit of Attack of the Clones that improves on the original, making it more consistent with the original trilogy and removing some of the worst dialogue scenes. But my god, it is still a really terrible movie. The prequels just LOOK so bad, and the acting is so phoned in. Even Ewan is hard to watch.
The political intrigue and clone army machinations part of the story is actually pretty interesting, and the romantic subplot COULD be good, if written and acted better. I feel like I should read a novelization.

Sigh. White men on Facebook, mang. I shared Raq's awesome Leia post, and I've got one dude in my comments saying she shouldn't have been in the movie at all because "useless", and another posting from some strange parallel universe where ACTUALLY older women aren't at all a rare sight in mass-market movies.
