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.

Space Mom aside, I'm truly about Star Wars'd out. We lived in walking distance of a huge new-built single-theatre movie house--just before smaller theatres and stadium seating became the thing. My mom was willing to watch the toddlers, and H and I must have watched both Star Wars (at the time, tha one, tha only) and Raiders a hundred times each. When the kids were seven or so, both movies went into re-release and we took the kids multiple times to both movies (and to Outland and The Howling on a double bill, but we'll discuss our abysmal parenting choices later), thereby cementing both of them as firm lifelong fans of both franchises (Indiana Jones and Star Wars, not...the Howling).

Hauled protesting to the prequels by said offspring, I've seen two of those exactly once, and the third I managed to escape. We have seen Solo, Rogue One, the Last Jedi, alla the sequels. Once. Enjoyed but not enough to repeat, and frankly my Star Wars feels are pretty much felt. Not buying into Baby ~~Groot~~ Yoda, not this time, not nohow.

Y'all go 'head on, enjoy. Save me some popcorn.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

DH is seeing an 11am screening of RoSW, and then I'm joining him at 7pm for Cats. I am SO MUCH more excited for Cats than I am for RoSW.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I am moderating my expectations for The Rise of Skywalker because it's JJ Williams. I don't expect to love it. Hopefully I'll like it and find parts of it moving. Kinda resigned to having one of the things I loved the most about TLJ -- the democratization of Force/Rey's heritage not being important -- be overturned in this one 'cause that seems like such a JJ move.

I had to shut my eyes against the abomination that is CATS trailer every time it played during coming attractions this past month. I cannot imagine sitting through 2 hours of it. *shudders*

It's JJ Abrams, but I'm totally with you on adjusting expectations.

I'm sure it will be a pretty movie to look at, but I'm equally sure that the plot will completely fall apart upon closer examination.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm looking forward to RoSW, in a "yeah, I want to see what happens" kind of way. (There are only so many fictional universes I can be obsessed with, and Star Wars is not one of them, which is actually quite nice. Endgame was actually stressful for me, because I don't like big changes to things I love.)

But I actually want to see the new Jumanji movie more than RoSW, because apparently I will see anything with Mr. The Rock in it. (And because the first one was ridiculously fun.)

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I want more Poe, Finn, and Rey. Anything on top is gravy.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I'm seeing RoSW on opening day, because my company is run by massive Star Wars nerds, and they've bought tickets for every employee. I, like Teppy, am in the "want to see what happens, but not obsessed" camp.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone.

I'll see RoSW (and all the other movies)....someday....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm seeing Jumanji on Thursday, it's our department's holiday outing this year. I might see RoSW (it took me a surprisingly long time to decipher that acronym) next week while I'm off work, we'll see. I'm doubtful about JJ Abrams, but pretty much in Dana's camp

I'm doubtful about JJ Abrams

I will be SUPER sad if RoSW isn't Lens Flare: The Movie.
