(Spoilers for Phantom Thread)
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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?
Joss Whedon exits Batgirl:
Praise jeebus.

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.

I don't suppose there's a chance in hell of Kathryn Bigelow being interested?
