Just got back from a screening of Game Night. I laughed, I winced, I thought fondly of playing games with msbelle and her brother as well as Noise Design and Pix. Good times.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

It's a short series of twits, no spoilers. I am a horror movie weenie but I really want to watch it. Ex Machina was such an interesting film that grew on me more the longer I thought about it, and it sounds like Alex Garland has another thoughtful genre film on his resume. Someone also twitted yesterday that this is a movie that's better watched by oneself, not in a rowdy crowd of people.

It's super obvious that I've spent all day trying to avoid work and just read film news right? A couple more links!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

sources say that Whedon, after a year of trying, could not crack the code of what a Batgirl movie should be.
For fucks sake. Kudos, I guess, for him coming to that realization, but Babs is not that complicated a character.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Considering what he would've done to Wonder Woman, I'm glad he's leaving Batgirl. Joss is a great writer and generally a good filmmaker (Ultron being the exception) and script doctor, but I'd rather he never touch a woman again. Real or fictional. His issues are too creepy and he is not in control of them.
