Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

I was just browsing a site setting life-size cardboard cutouts of celebrities and came across one of January Jones: [link]

How would you be able to tell they sent you the reproduction rather than the original?

If you're in the mood for ladies punching guys, you could do worse than Birds of Prey.

Finally got everything I need for my Oscar night menu:
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood taqueria buffet
Parasite (peach) frozen margaritas
1917 (cherry) margaritas
Irishman ice cream sundaes

I wanted to make sure I hit all the top contenders with my menu and was very happy to see they still made viciously green ice cream (in the form of mint moose tracks and pistachio almond) for the sundaes.

I want to go to megan's house to watch the Oscars. I may make onion dip or not.

Dana, Ewan McGregor and Chris Messina have been very cagey about a rumored flirtation between their characters in the movie. Is seeing how whatever it is plays out going to leave me angry afterwards?

Matt--

There's definitely a weird dynamic going on, though I think it could be read as just fucked-up power stuff, rather than specifically homoerotic. OTOH, it wasn't a big leap for me to go there, but I'm probably more willing than most people to see it that way. There's certainly nothing explicit (in the non-dirty sense of the word)--no kissing or touching or saying anything to imply it.

Also, Chris Messina? Holy fuck, I did not recognize him.

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

Holy shit, Parasite just won Best Original Screenplay! I was sure it would go to Tarantino. Great, now I'm getting my hopes up re. its path to winning the Best Picture. Hope is terrible! BUT WHAT IF.

Jojo Rabbit was alright but I'm legit bummed that Greta Gerwig didn't take the Adapted Screenplay for Little Women, for which she did such a cracking great job.

The less said about the opening "banter" between Chris Rock and Steve Martin, the better.

Sound Editing/Mixing: 1917 or Ford v Ferrari, maybe they'll split them since there are 2 awards

CALLED IT

The fuck was going on with that Eminem performance? I mean, the audience seemed to like it but why... ? Was he there? I don't understand.

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

Someone on Twitter said he won for Lose Yourself but wasn't there to perform or pick up the award, so...

They over-introduce people who don't need an introduction and then fail to introduce segments that are confusing.
