Film and TV discussion

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.

"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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

And Sacred Deer.

The only reason I might see that is because it was filmed here. The sketchy diner where Colin Farrell meets with Creepy Kid is in my neighborhood (in fact, I took Scola there for lunch when he was here).

Look, Cincinnati, despite being a metropolitan area, is pretty damn provincial, and we get excited about movies being filmed here.
