So I've been reading reviews of Joss Snyder's [sic] Justice League, and I started wondering what the DC movies would be like if Dwayne McDuffie were still alive and helping to make them.
Now I'm really sad.

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.

I did go see Kingsman 2 last night. I quite enjoyed it. I think I liked it better than the first. It seemed more lighthearted. Maybe that's just the mood I was in , but I liked it better having fun and taking itself even less seriously.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Now I'm sad, too, Scola.
Man, if only...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I want to see several of those, megan!
I, Tonya, and Three Billboaords and Shape of Water particularly.

I predict you will like all three: the in-your-face sass of I, Tonya, the rage of Three Billboards, and the Caro & Jeunet look of The Shape of Water.

I like those odds.
I still have to sneak off to the theater to see Lady Bird.

As do I. And The Florida Project. And Sacred Deer.

The Shape of Water is the one I can't wait for. And I really liked The Blackcoat's Daughter.

Ditto here, I'm even willing to put up with Michael Shannon's constant pop-eyed yelling for it. (People keep telling me he's a good actor, and I keep failing to see any evidence of it.)
I wish I'd managed to see Victoria and Abdul in the week it was playing in the local theater, but I figure that one will translate well to TV for a DVD rental. And I can get my Judi Dench fix at Murder on the Orient Express.
