RIP William Goldman.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you for the most excellent entertainment, Mr. Goldman. RIP

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
On the brighter (I hope) side, they're making a movie of Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All dead or mostly dead?
Sorry, it had to be said. I very much admired Mr Goldman.

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

Wreck It Ralph 2 was fantastic. Lots of funny internet/video game sight gags, but also I think folks here would love it because at its heart it's a film about finding your tribe on the internet, and the Big Bad is the comments section.
There is one scene towards the end that had my 11 year-old hiding under his seat. It's not explicitly scary as such, but it is definitely a Pink Elephants moment and creepy as fuck. (He got over it enough to watch the movie twice, so not a lifelong trauma, but it did give him one night of troubled sleep.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Anyone see the Fantastic Beasts sequel? I really liked the first one, but this has been getting iffy reviews, not to mention the Depp issue (although I will say that people we know close to that story say that although he is an alcoholic and probably terrible to live with, Heard manipulated and lied about the abuse and she's a really REALLY bad person).

Haven't seen Fantastic Beasts, but I did just watch Teen Titans Go to the Movies and it was The Amazing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Anyone see the Fantastic Beasts sequel?
Yes. Eh. Too much setup. The best parts are those that involve the eponymous beasts. Not only do I not understand why they replaced Colin Farrell with Johnny Depp, I don't understand the costuming and makeup decisions that combine to make Depp look so profoundly unappealing, for a character that is supposed to be compelling and magnetic.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Anyone see the Fantastic Beasts sequel?
I actually enjoyed this one more than the first. I rewatched the first Saturday night and found myself bored in spots (like, I actually left the room for a minute). I liked the pacing better on this one. Though I will certainly concede Dana's point re Depp's appearance.
One thing that will feel familiar to the other HP movies: that feeling of why didn't Dumbledore just SAY that, instead of being all unnecessarily mysterious and making people think he's betraying them/the cause?
One other thought my friend and I agreed on, but I just deleted it for degree of spoileriness.
