I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

I have to balance my desire to see The Last Jedi on my own time, and the desire to avoid spoilers.

We're not seeing The Last Jedi for something like a week or more, and I'm trying to decide if I'm going to avoid Tumblr for the entire time, or if I'll give up trying to avoid spoilers.

But this reminds me to go up date my blacklist on Tumblr, just in case everyone I follow is good about tagging things.

I could be seeing it tomorrow night, because movies always open on Thursdays here so previews are on Wednesday. But B. and I can't go until Friday evening, so we're in sync with you guys after all.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm going on Saturday. A couple of friends are probably going as soon as it's in a nearby theater, but they're good about not spoiling others.

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.

I'm on call for work this week so the earliest I can see it is next weekend. I do get next Friday off, so I may take the kid to see a matinee that day.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

If we can get Gary's mom to look after Mr. S for a few hours on Sunday, we'll see it then. (It's not a matter of whether she wants to, it's a matter of if she's in town that weekend.)

"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

If I have nothing pressing Sunday I might go to a noon showing and see if that avoids the worst of the crowds.

I have no idea how good the writing is going to end up, but damn does "Bright" have great visuals in the trailer. [link] (The random shot of a dragon flying by the moon in the background in one scene is a nice touch.)

The sad thing is this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a true Shadowrun movie (because even if its successful people will likely claim any attempt at a real Shadowrun move is "just a rip-off of Bright."

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I'm on vacation in New Zealand so I just saw The Last Jedi (earlier than I would have at home in the US)!! I am a Star Wars nerd from way back and i LOVED IT.
