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.
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.
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.
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.)
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."
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.
I finally watched The Force Awakens. That was pretty good! I'm thinking Rogue One this evening and maybe the new one Saturday morning. That gets me caught up, right?
I don't know whether Rogue One is that essential (though someone who has already seen TLJ might be able to elaborate). It's a prequel to Star Wars, so takes place much earlier. TFA is the important one. I watched it again last night and was amazed by how much I'd forgotten.
My 3-day rental from Amazon expires tomorrow, so I might watch it again. Fun to be excited for Star Wars again!
Rogue One is probably not required for The Last Jedi, but if you're on a Star Wars kick it's lots of fun!
Plus it's on Netflix right now so why not?
