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.

Saw John Wick 3 last night and it did not disappoint. If you are a fan of the first two, I imagine you will like this one. And I'm sure that a number of Buffistas will appreciate the first thirty minutes in particular.
So, question for those familiar with the franchise: Would you say "Mewtwo breaks out of containment and trashes the lab he was imprisoned in" is the most cliche'd opening for a Pokemon movie or not?

I've got a bad feeling about this...

That is clearly influenced by the original 70's The Wicker Man, one of my faves. It looks splendidly atmospheric and I love Florence Pugh, who plays the lead. But I still haven't recovered from Aster's first film, Hereditary (so great, so fucking traumatizing OMG)
I usually happily go to movies by myself but might have to recruit a friend to come with. Being a scaredy cat who loves certain brands of horror is a dicey process.
I cannot WAIT for that movie. And yeah, Hereditary was so great and traumatizing. I want to rewatch it (I've been told that there's so much more to find on a rewatch), but I haven't felt brave enough to do it.
Daytime horror is so rare. The Wicker Man and... I think It Follows from a few years back? Can't think of any memorable ones that I've seen other than that. Also, bonus William Jackson Harper as, like, the only black man in all of Sweden! (GET OUT, CHIDI!!)
I think Hereditary is streaming in one of the services I'm subscribing to, but hahahaha no way I am rewatching that. Maybe if I have a bunch of friends over and also got really really drunk. Honestly, that Thing That Happens (you know which, if you've seen the movie) is probably THE most upsetting thing I've seen in movies in several years. I saw the movie in the theater, and after the half way mark, I found myself trying to fold myself into the seat, like, make myself as small as possible, as if that could lessen the emotional trauma. My goodness.
You are simultaneously making me really want to see Hereditary and really really not want to see it.
