I saw Booksmart last night, and it was good! Kind of a John Hughes movie for Today's Youth, but better. A lot of really funny parts and enough heart.
The trailer looks a lot like a girl led version of Superbad.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I haven't seen Superbad, but sure.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I can't wait to see it. I have a huge amount of good will toward both Beanie Felstein and Kaitlyn Dever (Loretta from Justified!!) and the trailer sold me HARD. Really nice to see Olivia Wilde make such a confident debut behind the camera as well.

I didn't bother with Genisys but with that cast, count me on board.

Kaitlyn Dever (Loretta from Justified!!)
OH SHIT. I didn't even realize!
Honestly, the whole cast is great -- Beanie Feldstein is a star, Billie Lourd is hilarious, there are a ton of grown-up cameos, all the people I don't know their names are also great.

Oh, Loretta! That's a selling point.
I'm not gonna watch the Terminator trailer right now, but I looked it up on IMDb and this may be the first Terminator movie I see since...2? Huh. The Sarah Connor Chronicles were so good I kinda forgot I had passed on so many movies

That was my critic friend's reaction as well. (I've only seen the first few minutes of Superbad.)
OH SHIT. I didn't even realize!
The first five minutes of our post-movie conversation was mostly me saying "That person looked familiar, where do I know them from?"
One thing I really liked about Booksmart was the interactions between the different students, which felt a bit more true to my experience than other films in the genre.

I didn't know Beanie was Jonah Hill's sister. Everybody else knew that right?

I knew it from interviews she did while promoting Ladybird.

I just watched The Endless over the weekend-was really an enjoyable film. Thanks for the recommendations, gang!
In looking up info for it after I found a reddit thread from last year where I recommended watching the B&W The Call of Cthulhu from the H.P. Lovecraft Society to the film's directors. I had absolutely no memory of having interacted with them, or of knowing anything about their film besides the name. Thanks forgetful ageing brain, you saved me from spoiling myself!
