It's right by my office but I had too much work to go in this week.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

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

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.

I'm surprised the theaters even run movies during the times you should all be in church like decent people!
Peeps who've seen The Fallen World, is it worth paying extra to see in 3-D? I thought the previous one was for the Mososaurus leap alone.

They didn't use to! But then, church goes all day around here, they use the church buildings in shifts, there are so many people attending the weekly "The neighbors will notice and whisper if we're not there" sessions.
When I first moved out here, the malls closed around 6 PM on Saturdays due to old laws that required you to get your horse home early on Saturday so it was well-rested to take you to church Sunday morning. And the main street in town was actually chained closed Saturday night around 10 PM. I saw it.
Allowing beer sales on Sundays was a hard-fought, years-long battle.

Jurassic World All Falls Down: Spielberg was involved. If you have deep moral outrage against your heartstrings being yanked, be warned.
I was glad for tissues in my purse.
Claire Deering continues to be a badass. Moral ambiguity on all sides. Hard choices are confronted. Dinos without big horns or long necks or pointy bits tend to look alike in fights.
Fair warning: if the heartwrenching inevitable deaths of cuddly dinos is going to wreck you, rethink your plans or take a trusted crybuddy. There's a Spielbergian scene of maximum pathos that still makes me cry.
Oh, and people who look like kids to me are competent grownups with mad skills and it's very disconcerting to me.
