Buffy ,'Selfless'
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 didn't understand Cate Blanchett's purpose in Ocean's 8. What did she do, other than provide a lair?
Also, I thought the "oh shit" moment was when the waiter wheeling the necklace stopped to talk about weed with the other waiter, but that was pretty weak as well.
Yeah, for all that I enjoyed the movie, there wasn't a lot of tension or narrative drive in it. And I did think the Gala dresses weren't nearly weird enough.
They're filming Wonder Woman 1984 in DC today - in Georgetown - and to be period appropriate, they've recreated the facade of the Commander Salamander store.
It's right by my office but I had too much work to go in this week.
We saw Solo tonight, and it was worth the $9. I would have preferred more Lando, but even so, Donald Glover was great. And L3 was awesome.
And L3 was awesome.
L3 was awesome but I'm a little concerned about gendered robots.
I watched the scary clown movie! I didn't pass out or die!
The changes from the book didn't annoy me, the character design for Pennywise was impressive, and the way Pennywise moved was impressively full of DEAR G-D NO THAT IS NOT OKAY.
Went to see Hereditary last night. I am a relative horror movie weenie but the word of mouth on this one was so strong, I wanted to check it out.
It is unquestionably an excellent film. It's beautifully composed, thematically rich, and almost unbearably tense. Toni Collette is fucking amazing in this -- almost incandescent in her suffering. She turns herself inside out and leaves everything on the screen. But honestly, I don't know if I can recommend it to people. There are scenes in the film that count as some of the most upsetting things I've ever seen, without the scenes being your typical horror movie cliches. Of course it has some wrenching physical violence, it's a horror film after all. But it's the aftermath, the rawness of grief and emotional violence unleashed on the people closest to us in the name of love, that makes this viewing experience so much rougher.
If you have the stomach for it, it's a tremendous film. But goodness, talk about the need for ALL the trigger warnings in the world.
"It's estimated that Depp has made $650 million on films that netted $3.6 billion. Almost all of it is gone."
Just bought a ticket for 9:45 AM Sunday for Jurassic World 2. Sunday morning in Utah is a terrific time to watch brand new blockbusters.
