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.
Any idea why The Last Jedi Blu Ray is not available for purchase in Amazon? [link]
I know they have all moved to streaming but I still like physical media for some of my favourites. Odd that the biggest online seller doesn't have the set. I guess I can just pop off to Target to get it...
I heard it was a dispute between Disney and Amazon
First Netflix and now Amazon. Disney people sure have problem playing nice with others. I guess they don't need to, what with being the owner of EVERYTHING. MCU, Star Wars, Pixar... what *don't* they own, really.
Off to Target tonight, I guess!

Harry Potter! Uh, and DC.
Right! But it wouldn't surprise me a bit if, at sometime in the next decade, Disney unhinged its jaw like a massive python and swallowed up Warner Brothers whole.
Finally saw A Wrinkle in Time. I liked it. I didn't love it. Though I don't quite know why. It wasn't that they changed the book too much, but maybe it was the seemingly randomness of some of the changes.
The visuals were great. I loved that they made you think spatially from the very beginning. And they seemed a nice callback to how some of I Will Follow was filmed.
I thought it dealt with well with the latter part of the book that I don't really like. Two things I missed from the opening were the dark and stormy night in the middle of nowhere aspect (when you really see how freakish Charles Wallace is before IT) and the ant and the string (which is in one of the trailers so they did film it).
I was going to come in here and post an expanded version of my Twitter thoughts about Ready Player One but then my brother sent me this McSweeney's article and I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard.

Excellent choice of ship names!
Saw Love, Simon yesterday and Annihilation today. So basically the same movie twice.
I actually really enjoyed Pacific Rim, though about 75% of that was John Boyega, who is just ridic charismatic. Eastwood, as noted, is an actual charisma void.
I also thought the script was trying to be completely aware of its ridiculousness, even if it didn't always work. And there was some originality to the plot that I didn't expect.
