We're watching The Internship, and of all the things so far that have irritated me about this horrible movie, right now, I'm most irritated that they're not playing Quidditch right.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

People should go see Arrival because I need to talk about it!
I walked out of it kind of rolling my eyes, but about half an hour later I was sure it was amazing. So I need to (a) see it again and (b) talk about it with my favorite talky meat.
It's a slow burn all the way through the end - very similar in pacing to the beginning of Interstellar or 2001 or Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
And I want to talk about the way it treats gender and its place in science fiction history and how it asks big philosophical questions and then answers them in very specific ways that don't undermine the validity of the questions!

Have you read the book? I mean story, I guess? It broke me so hard I still sob thinking about it.

I haven't, but now I want to.

Good then that the movie stands on its own as a slow burn.

The story is wonderful. My nephew and I got to talking about it while my sister was driving us from A to B, and once we got to B she read it so we could all discuss it.

I wasn't quite able to shut off my brain enough to enjoy The Fifth Element to the fullest extent, but I'll be there for this anyway.

Fantastic Beasts was a huge disappointment. There's a really good movie hiding in there somewhere, but it didn't make it onto the screen.
I get the feeling that Warner Bros wanted a Jazz Age Fantastic Beasts movie and JKR wanted a Depression-era political drama, and instead of collaborating they just kind of made two movies and intercut them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I saw Moonlight yesterday, and it is really beautiful. Just so different from most stories that get told about young black men in the ghetto. Definitely go see it, although it's not a total upper.
