"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also Valkyrie, which: WOOT!!!

Have you seen Brie Larson and Tessa Thompson on Twitter trading fan art back and forth of Valkyrie and Captain Marvel in various cute clinches? [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ha! One of my friends on FB changed her profile picture to the "Avenge the Fallen" poster of Vision. So apparently someone out there does give a crap about Vision.

I have!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A 3 hour movie is nothing after you've seen a 12 hour play where the actors can see you squirm!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ethan beat The Mary Sue to that article by almost a week. [link]

(But the comments on theirs are better.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm not missing a moment of Endgame no matter how long it is. I'm like a camel. A camel who is very invested in this disaster fire of a movie universe.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Guess what! Just learned that my local AMC is screening Lawrence of Arabia tonight for their Wednesday Classics program. I've only seen it in piecemeal on tiny screens. Looking forward to watching the whole thing in one sitting in all of its... *looks up* 3h and 48m runtime glory.

They better fucking have an intermission.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is it in 70mm?

Ehh, probably not? I remember they made a big to-do about showing Dunkirk in 70mm when it came out and the website doesn't mention anything like that. I think LoA was remastered in 4K a few years ago? Hopefully they're at least showing that version.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I saw Lawrence of Arabia in a theater many years ago. TV doesn't do it justice. In particular, the desert panoramas demand a big screen,

4k is equivalent to 35mm, more or less. (But it's not an exact comparison since digital prints don't wear out like film, so if you're going to show the movie more than once, the digital print will look better.)
