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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Preach. The dude in the couple also complained loudly that this seemed like a "propaganda movie" after the first 5 minutes, whatever the fuck that meant in this setting. Ugh. I love movies. Not so fond of people most of the time.
On a happier news, The Criterion Channel is live!! The app is available on my Android TV and seems to work pretty well. After activating my device, I skimmed around various films available for streaming on the channel. I really like the curatory aspect of their selections -- there are themed movie groups, and recs from various directors/actors/critics. The current active theme list has 'Columbia noir', which has a bunch of film noir I've never even heard about -- looking forward to digging into that.
They also have various thematic pairings of a short and a feature length film. I picked on something called 'Mystery Train,' and watched this marvellous Canadian stop-motion animated short called Madame Tutli-Putli (available on youtube for free, it turns out), paired with Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, which I have actually never watched in full. I only watched about 20 mins of the latter 'cause it was getting late and am eager to get back to it.
So far, zero regrets in paying through the year. :)

I've seen that! I loved it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Star Wars movie title thoughts?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Was a title announced, or are you asking what we think it should be?

Never mind; I just saw it on Facebook.
I have zero opinion on the title, because I'm just not really invested in the SW movies. I mean, I like them, but it's nice to just like something without throwing my fannish little heart into it.

Yeah, I like Star Wars, but it burned through all of my enthusiasm in the 00s.
I've also learned to never get too enthusiastic about any JJ Abrams project, either.

I am mostly invested in Rey. And Finn and Poe. And Leia. And Rose.

And also Lando. And Chewie. And BB-8.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it's a stupid title, but I also think ALL the SW movies have stupid titles, so it's on-brand at least.
