Thirst came highly recommended to me, but I didn't enjoy the film. Like, at all.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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.

The trailer for The Green Knight, directed by David Lowery and starring Dev Patel as Sir Gawain: [link]
The trailer looks splendidly atmospheric. I like Lowery and I love Dev Patel so I'm all kinds of excited for it. Not to mention how Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a genuinely cracking good story.
Between this and The Personal History of David Copperfield (saw this during TIFF where he plays the titular role and it is delightful), Patel is doing his level best to shatter the whole "having brown faces in European lit adaptations is historically inaccurate wah wah" BS. He has a GREAT face for period drama and should never shave because... damn, son.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Dev Patel + a beard is up there with CEvans + beard and you all know how I feel about that.

If you don't mind being spoiled for a 700-something year old medieval poem, The Toast did a hilarious take on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight several years back: [link]

Those two Dev Patel movies are both... quite something. I'm far more interested in the Copperfield one, I admit. That looks fantastic. The Green Knight one? Errrr.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I saw Birds of Prey this past weekend. Had a blast. I might buy it on DVD and add it to my scotch, chocolate, and badass women plans that I make each Valentine's Day (except for this past one, where I was ill).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw it yesterday. Enjoyed it a lot - while it was more violent than I'd usually like, the fight choreography was terrific. And I developed a fondness for Bruce.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm seeing it tomorrow and I can't wait. I've loved Harley since BTAS.

Thrive to spite them
We are going to see it tomorrow. I read an article about the fight scenes and how good they are both in terms of choreography and lighting/editing.
