Mayor ,'Chosen'
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 approve of this holiday. Maybe we can generalize it to "OMGWTFMusicals?! Day" and just change the specific observance by year?
I would 100% celebrate this every year, but I do feel like DEH has an unusually high OMGWTF factor.
Well, we know he has the Sharks covered...
Bwah!
Good one, Matt! I was stuck in a loop of "but why?" and that made me laugh
I seriously don’t understand the confusion about the Evan Hanson plot. I only know the one song, but I still know the plot. Then I realized that the theatre world is really small.
I love the music, but the actual plot of DEH makes me cringe.
Fantastic trailer for Edgar Wright's upcoming film, Last Night in Soho: [link]
Loving that surreal vibe and the neon palate. I am a horror weenie and the only Dario Argento I've watched is Suspiria, but the influence seems very clear. It's shot by the great Korean cinematographer Chung Chung Hoon, who was the DP for most of Park Chan Wook films including Old Boy, Lady Vengeance, Stoker, and The Handmaiden. Great cast as well -- Anya Taylor-Joy and Tomasin McKenzie are two of the best young actresses working today, and that sounds like Taylor-Joy singing that stripped down version of "Downtown." Colour me psyched!
That looks good but maybe to scary for me to actually see...
I think I can manage if the horror and violence are stylized and not super gory, which looks like to be the case with this one? I mean, I watched Hereditary in the theater and made it out alive (not untraumatized, but still.)
Mostly I'm just so happy to see interesting delayed projects from last year starting to come out. That reminds me, In the Heights is gonna be in the theater 2 weeks from now, and you bet your pants I'll be there with bells on.
that sounds like Taylor-Joy singing that stripped down version of "Downtown."
Edgar Wright confirmed that it was her singing on Twitter. I agree it looks good.
Have just watched the new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife; Paul Rudd is clearly living his best life.
Just nabbed tickets for The Green Knight this Saturday. I've heard good things about it. If COVID rates keep rising, this may be my last movie in a theater for a while, so I wanted it to be a good one.
