The little bit I saw of the Wonder Woman movie was what got me eager to see more. I really do feel that DC is going to get that one right, and so far Diana has been the one uplifting element of the Gravel-voiced Xenophobe v. Space Messiah trailers as well.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

Okay, I finally got around to watching the Suicide Squad trailer, and...it looks like it could be fun.
I'm still all the way there for Deadpool, tho. (It opens on our 10-year anniversary, so instead of, you know, going out of town or having a big fancy dinner to celebrate, we were like "Deadpool?" "Uh, FUCK YEAH, Deadpool!" Because we're goddamn romantics.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I saw the Wonder Woman spot. Why is it so... blue-gray and sepia? I know it's set in the past, but would it have killed them to pop some primary colours in there? I guess they are being consistent with visual palette set by Snyder (WHICH I HATE) but it's a different director. They could have diverged a little.

I do like that the Suicide Squad movie (based on the trailer) seems to actually USE COLOR. So that's a point in its favor.

Color-grading is one of the last steps in film post-production, so the final film will probably end up looking better. (Not necessarily good, but better).

I came across this on Tumblr earlier today and it is too fucking precious not to share: [link]
If Anakin/Padme were even 1/10 as cute as this, I'd have totally watched the prequels.

I feel ghoulish about this, but I know people can always use a bit of extra money:
If you have Truly Madly Deeply (with Alan Rickman) on DVD, they're selling for a lot right now on eBay.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just saw TFA today. Weirdly, I happen to watch Ex Machina last weekend.
Oscar Isaac and Domhall Gleeson were half the cast in Ex Machina and they were all over this movie.
It was kind of freaky to see them on opposite sides. Both good though.
Unfortunately, I had been spoiled for a couple of things, but I still loved everything about TFA. I hope Rea turns out to be someone new or related to someone far off from the core cast.

This Seth Meyers bit about Boston accents in movies made me giggle: [link]

Went to see Carol yesterday. It was utterly gorgeous, but wee bit too languid for my taste. After I came home, I saw a promo for the movie on TV that called it "The Year's Most Provocative Thriller." What on earth?!
