This Seth Meyers bit about Boston accents in movies made me giggle: [link]
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

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?!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
D-do the lesbians plan a heist.

Well, there is a private eye in the movie. But it's not like the lesbians scheme together to pump Coach Taylor full of lead.
I suspect the advertisers don't wanna call it a "lush lesbian romance" because... of America.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But it's not like the lesbians scheme together to pump Coach Taylor full of lead.
Note that I would totally also watch that movie.

Note to producers: "thriller" does not refer to straight guys being thrilled at the prospect of seeing two women kiss.

Went to see Hail, Caesar! over the weekend, which is super lightweight and meandering, but has some spot-on old Hollywood production numbers. Doesn't really hang together as a film though. Its parts are greater than its sum.
It did introduce me to this excellent young actor I'd never heard of called Alden Ehrenreich (playing a sweet and kinda dopey actor out of his elements), who really holds his own against his famous cast members. Also, Ralph Fiennes should just do nothing but comedy for the rest of his career.

I eyebrow HARD at the inclusion of Knocked Up and putting an Adam Sandler movie in lieu of The Philadelphia Story.

I would only accept its omission if the list maker specifically cited concerns about how all the men in Tracy's life aren't worthy of her, so it's actually a very witty tragedy about her settling.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I still maintain she should have run off with Mike.
