I vote for the middle ground between Tarantino/Whedon and Rob Liefeld? I don't object to the existence of feet in principle, but I don't want them waved in my face on a 30 foot tall screen either.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So feet exist and are occasionally seen while people wear only a mildly excessive number of pouches?

Sounds good to me. Hey, the cargo shorts I like wearing might come back in style if people see clothes with pouches on the silver screen!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The lineup for TIFF 2019 is starting to shape up: [link]
Barring last minute work shenanigans, I plan to be there (I think, my fourth year in a row). The film I'm probably most psyched to see is Bong Joon Ho's "Parasite," which by all reports is fucking brilliant and took Palme d'Or at Cannes. Interested in "Jo Jo Rabbit," in which Taika Waititi directs himself as an imaginary friend of a lonely little German boy, who is... um, Adolf Hitler (if anyone could pull off that premise, it would probably be Taika). And Makoto Shinkai, who made the gorgeous "Your Name," has another anime fantasy called "Weathering With You."
They are also World-Premiering Rian Johnson's star studded murder mystery, "Knives Out," the trailer to which I linked upthread. Itching to be there with BELLS ON.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Rian Johnson's star studded murder mystery, "Knives Out,"
Until the title card at the end of this trailer I thought it was a remake of Clue.
(And I was SO EXCITED. And then when it wasn't a remake of Clue I REMAINED EXCITED.)

I am so excited for Knives Out. Can't wait.
On a related note, I'm hearing good things about Ready or Not.

I am very excited for Knives Out. Also for Parasite and JoJo Rabbit, so Vonnie will be living my dream.

I saw The Kitchen last night. Way grittier than I expected but relatively satisfying as these things go.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm reposting this from FB, because some of the folks who post here aren't on FB:
What movies do you find visually striking? For whatever definition of "visually striking" you care to use (because, on my list, some are really gorgeous, and some are just...striking, but not gorgeous). My initial list:
*The Talented Mr. Ripley
*Moulin Rouge
*Far From Heaven
*Sin City (the 2005 one; I didn't see the 2014 one)
*Fido (a really excellent zombie movie that's not scary or gross and is SO worth seeing) (seriously)
I'm amused that 3 of these are set in the 1950s, which I guess was a cinematically gorgeous decade?
Then msbelle added The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, which -- definitely striking!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The first one that comes to mind - possibly because Ryan and I are currently watching it - is Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse.
Also The Grand Budapest Hotel, I think.
