I saw Won't You Be My Neighbor tonight, the documentary about Fred Rogers. It's quite wonderful and inspiring and tear-jerking. What Would Fred Rogers Do, indeed.
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.
No one told me Lady Bird was full of Sondheim. I would have watched it sooner.
Thank you for telling me. I will now watch it!
I loved Ladybird so much.
So I went to see Boots Riley's film Sorry to Bother You tonight, and everyone needs to see this. For one thing, it's crazy creative and funny -- although often the kind of funny that makes you wince because it's black humor about race relations and income inequality. But also the cast is amazeballs -- Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Danny Glover, Armie Hammer... It's just ridiculously good and wacky and insightful.
The clips I've seen look fantastic.
Just the trailer of Danny Glover's character using his "white voice" had me rolling on the floor.
It's really pretty amazing.
I watched the 1976 A Star Is Born tonight. There's not a lot of storytelling there. Whole lot of concert singing, not a lot of what gets us from in place to the next.
Finally saw Tag last night. I really enjoyed it, and the actors seem like they're having a blast most of the time too.
