'Safe'
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.

I saw some news items that Aquaman is pretty good - not great, but better than DC's been doing.
The reviews for Spider-Verse are out, and HOLYSHITICANTWAIT.
I am so damn excited about Spider-Verse. AND I get to see it with my brother, so that's going to be extra fantastic. (And our spouses will shake their heads and commiserate about how they married such enormous nerds.)
I am looking forward to Aquaman more than any DC movie thus far, with the exception of Wonder Woman which was kind of more of a political position than movie-going excitement...
My Dad and I already making plans to see Spiderverse with my son once it comes out.
I saw the unfinished first 30 minutes of Spider-Verse at NYCC, and it was amazeballs. I can't wait.
Into the Spider-Verse just won the Best Animated Feature in the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. Bodes well for its chances comes Oscar time, even though NYFCC skews less mainstream. I don't think we have a runaway front-runner this year like Coco from last year in this category. Like, Incredibles 2 did monster box office but critical reception was kinda lukewarm.

I really like those winners, some surprising and unexpected. Regina Hall is fantastic in Support the Girls, which came and went in our tiny neighborhood repertory theater in a blink. It's a gem of a film and I'm glad it's being recognized. It should be available on streaming soon, I'd think. Highly recommended.
I keep hearing amazing things about the documentary that won, Mind the Gap, which is streaming on Hulu, I believe. It beat out the Mr. Rogers movie, RBG, Free Solo and Three Identical Strangers. Quite a year for docs.
Mind the Gap was fantastic! Highly recommended.
Aquaman looks good. I'm afraid I haven't seen much DC lately, aside from Wonderwoman. Do we know who the woman with the extraordinarily red hair is in the trailer? [link]
