I feel like if I opened a bottle and Idris Elba popped out, I wouldn't need any further wishes.
(Also yes, it looks bonkers in the best possible way.)
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

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.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I had seen ads with just the title and a still image but hadn't licked through to a trailer or what have you. Looks interesting!

George Miller and Tilda Swinton are automatic must-sees to me, and Idris Elba is if the film doesn't involve him with CGI cat fur. All signs point to yes!

Also apparently Furiosa is in production in Australia, with Anya Taylor-Joy in Theron's role.
I'm not entirely sold on the casting, but I know she's a good actress. Very excited about that movie too...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm not entirely sold on the casting, but I know she's a good actress.
That's not who I would've expected, but I will say that I had a massive new respect for her after watching her host SNL as she had tremendous range, comic chops and a fearless approach.

Oh, that (3,000 Years etc.) looks delicious!
In other news, I finally got around to seeing Hail, Caesar today. Normally I quite like Coen Brothers movies, but this one seemed like it didn’t really hang together. It was kind of forgettable, which is not my reaction to most Coen Bros. stuff.

They could have just pared it down to the song & dance number and it would have saved me about an hour and 40 minutes without impacting my overall enjoyment.

Yeah. Although the callback to the choreography when the secret agent leaped onto the sub was cute.
Oh, well. They can't all be gems, I guess.

Yeah, I can't say I vividly remember that one. I know I saw it, ISTR I went to a fancy theater for it. I appreciate that they try things that don't always land with me, though.

I went to see the new Downton movie to escape the heat and the news and everything and it was pretty darn charming.
