The plan was to see it tomorrow while ltc went out with my in-laws, but now ltc is sick and I need a new plan.
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.
HQ: BoP was *excellent* fun. The plot is paper-thin, but I didn't mind one bit. The girl power themes are hammered HARD and not with any subtlety, which for me was exactly what I wanted and so it was great.
Margot Robbie is a joy to watch. She is having SO MUCH FUN.
Ewan MacGregor's performance is...confusing, but as a personification of rich white male fragility it kind of works?
The fight choreography which has been praised everywhere is REALLY that good. And well lit! You can actually see what people are doing!
The pace lags a bit in the middle, but the last 1/3rd makes up for it. I would have liked less set up and more time with the girl gang all together.
I have already complained on Twitter about the unforgivable sandwich continuity error.
Margot Robbie's manic glee was such fun to watch!

OH HELL NO.
MAGIC SANDWICH IS MAGIC

Her face when she's hiding in the evidence room and realizes the air is full of cocaine.
Yes!
Ok, have seen BoP and just elegant to point at Jessica's posts and nod. Whee!
Also, seeing a bunch of women's names in the credits was pretty great
I enjoyed that - women in front of and behind the cameras.
I did wonder what ita would have thought about the fight scenes - they looked good to me, but it's not something I have any expertise in. On the - literally - bright side, they were done with enough lighting you could see what was going on.
