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.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just got back from Blade Runner 2049, and still sorting through it. The one thing that surfaces first is DAMN, that was a lot of incredible, gutting performances from women I've never or barely seen before. (The men are great too; it's really an embarrassment of riches). The second thing is that I so badly want ita here to dissect the punching and fighting scenes (of both of which there are many) I can't even say.

The new Idris Elba/Kate Winslet movie The Mountain Between Us, which is marketed as a gritty survival drama after an airplane crash (trailer), has a hilarious secondary ad re. the fate of the dog briefly seen in the first trailer. Because the marketing fokks are canny about what upsets people in movies: [link]
I saw the movie in TIFF. It's preposterous (especially the ending) and is basically a Hallmark Channel movie with A list actors and decent production values rather than a gritty survivalist drama, but hey, I sometimes enjoy cornball Hallmark romances. Idris takes his shirt off at some point during the movie in case that's relevant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'd rather see a Hallmark movie with Winslet and Elba than, say, The Grey.

Blade Runner:
I LOVED the script. Damn, that was one tightly-plotted 2½-hour-long movie. Just about every scene was essential. And overall probably a deeper, more complex movie than Arrival.
I thought the visuals were HIT OR MISS. There were moments of great beauty, but overall the dankness started to wear on me. At least in the original, Ridley Scott would cut through the dankness with flashes bright neon, especially for the street-level scenes. Here, not nearly as much.
I though the soundtrack was MEH. Of course it's impossible to live up to the Vangelis original, but they could have tried a lot harder.
I got really tired of the single tear rolling down an actor's cheek as a shorthand for: THIS CHARACTER IS EMOTING NOW. The seventh or eight time that it happened it got really old.

I feel that is highly relevant.

Re. TLJ trailer:
My guess is that the last shocking bit is not real life, but rather Rey's version of Dagobah cave vision - a manifestation of her deep-seated fear of temptation to the dark side.
Seeing Carrie Fisher's face in the trailer is gut wrenching. Looks like there are gonna be some major emotional scenes for her in this movie.
