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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So they reverse-searched for a likely place whose scenery resembled New Zealand

Man, I'd go see Mission Impossible: Middle Earth.

I seriously doubt this will happen, but I would be all over this: Edgar Wright directing Bond 25 is "a real possibility".

But it wouldn't be nearly as awesome as this: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I would absolutely pay money to see that. Especially if they played it totally straight.

Hm, can Q help Bond build up immunity to iocaine?

I saw The Spy Who Dumped Me yesterday. It was fun. Not profound, but then it wasn't trying to be. There were explosions, the lead women kicked butt, the bit with the thumb was great, and I'll watch Kate McKinnon in anything but an Oliver Stone flick. I'd love to see a sequel, but as it's been out nearly a month without earning back production costs, that seems unlikely.

Saw BlacKkKlansman yesterday. It's very good. And yet another film where I didn't hate Adam Driver.

Personally, I don't think the coda was necessary (since I felt the link was made explicit throughout), but I suppose some people need to be hit over the head.

OK, I think they're going to find Captain America for real.

Our wings are not tired.

We go to the movies more frequently in the summer, mostly to support the lovely couple in a small town who renovated a small theater. It is hard to say if it is me or the 2018 crop of summer fare, but I have been underwhelmed. Granted I missed some that I feel would have been better than those we have seen so far.

Jurassic World - what I expected and enjoyable enough as such, but not any more than that.

Skyscraper - enjoyed more than expected probably because the crowd laughed so often at the absurdity making it more a OTT comedy. So fun when viewed as comedy.

Mama Mia - Um, I guess the scenery and music were okay.

Crazy Rich Asians - Disappointed because so many people loved it. I expected to enjoy it a lot more than I did. Yay for diversity, but I left feeling I didn't get to know any of the characters. It may have been better if I had read the book first.

Happytime Murders - Enjoyed the previews and was looking forward to it, then was let down. Yes, I laughed quite a few times. But the fuck count was probably over 500 and it wasn't required except to get the R rating, and I found it distracting. (Ha, I know my chrome extension would have fixed that!)

Sad making because I generally look forward to summer as being go to the actual theater season for me. In Florida during the winter I generally have to buy tickets in advance to get a decent seat, which is less convenient.
