No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 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...

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

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.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

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.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Have just watched the new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife; Paul Rudd is clearly living his best life.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Are they still US purveyors of Ghibli?

They are. But those are just worth owning.

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

And we do! Such largesse.

There's a not-Ghibli I'm on the fence about--5 Centimeters per Second. I waffle. It's $35 plus right now, I've never seen it, don't know if I'd like it enough to pay that.

I did just pick up the whole Cowboy Bebop series, to go with our movie, though. Also not Disney.
