Ooh, thanks. Totes interesting!
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
There are three movies floating out there that start with "Wonder" (Wonder, Wonderstruck, Wonder Wheel) and I keep confusing one with another. I think I might want to watch Wonderstruck, the latest Todd Haynes? Except it came and went in the local theater in, like, a week. Did anyone see it?
In other news, David Ehrlich from Indiewire just posted his yearly 25 Best Films of the Year: Video Countdown: [link]
I love these, even when I disagree with his picks. Each video is like a delightful vidlet medley on indie films of the year and clearly a labour of love, and is catnip to those who love movies, lists, and vids, of which I am one. All the songs he sets the montages to have been used in films released that given year (not necessarily on the list), and unexpected and often hilarious pairing of the images and the music is one of my favourite things about them. There was one song choice in this year's effort that made me HOWL.

Wonderstruck is fantastic - highly recommend if you can find a theater that's showing it!
Wonder is also good, if you have kids who have read the book, plus bonus Daveed Diggs for the parents.
Wonder Wheel is Woody Allen, so I haven't seen it.

Alas, Wonderstruck appears to be thoroughly out from my neck of the woods. Will have to keep my eyes peeled for streaming options.

You will love it! But probably not as much as Crimson Peak!
(That's how I felt anyway.)

To be fair, there aren't many movies I love as much as Crimson Peak, and the ones that come close are also gothy cliches.

Jilli, do you have the Crimson Peak Blu-ray, and if not, do you want mine? I liked it well enough but probably won't rewatch.

I do have it, but thank you!

I figured, but I thought I'd ask before I brought a bunch of things to sell at Newbury Comic.
