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.

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.

Finally saw Tag last night. I really enjoyed it, and the actors seem like they're having a blast most of the time too.

The new Mission Impossible is very fun, if a bit difficult to watch at times for someone afraid of heights.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Not a typical Buffista movie, but The Onion reviewed Mamma Mia Here We Go Again.
And I recently got The List of Adrian Messenger - I'd been wanting to see it again and spotted it inexpensively. I didn't remember the makeup being quite that bad ....

I loved Mamma Mia 1 completely unironically.

Me too, aside from "SOS." Which, come to think of it, Pierce Brosnan did seem to turn into a cry for help.

Because books.
I loved Mamma Mia, too. Meryl Streep singing and flinging her hair and herself all over that island is stupidly delightful. And I'm a sucker for Amanda Seyfried and Christine Baranski.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I loved Mamma Mia 1 completely unironically
It was 100% delightful from start to finish. The second one isn't quite as magical (mostly because the first movie used up 99% of Abba songs anyone knows) but it has it's moments, and the last 20 minutes are AMAZEBALLS.

I'll pass this on to a friend who was sufficiently invested in the first one that (1) she gathered up a bunch of women friends to go see it in the middle of a weekday and (2) smuggled in wine to go with it (which may have influenced her appreciation of it).

My only sadness (okay, besides some of the wincing at the story contortions they had to commit to get some of the deep cuts to fit) was that, unlike Mamma Mia the First, we didn't see this one at a singalong showing.
