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 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!

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

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.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

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.

Apparently Disney signed a contract with ScarJo that promised they would only show Black Widow in theaters. And then they broke that promise, and she isn't getting any profits from the Disney+ streaming. So she's suing for $50M.

I was just coming here to post Wonderella's reaction to that on Twitter: [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

At last count, Disney's still not paying Alan Dean Foster royalties on all the Star Wars novels he wrote and published 40 years ago when Star Wars was Star Wars.

I'm still not subbed to D+ and have no plans to do so. I'm merrily aquiring as many of the old-skool 2D animated kids' movies on DVD and blu-ray as I can, because if I have it in my hands Disney can't tell me I can't have it. Are they still US purveyors of Ghibli? Pfeh.
