'Heart Of Gold'
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 watched Everything Everywhere All At Once
Not my sort of thing at all.
If I had seen it in a theater, I might not have walked out, but I might have fallen asleep.
As it was, I had to pause and walk away several times. But I did see it through to the end, eventually.
Oh, that’s too bad dcp. I think the theater did help it, but it’s probably my favorite movie this year that isn’t a Marvel movie.
It's very much Not For Everyone. I have some friends I stronglt recommended it to, and ithers, like my DH, who I'm sure would hate it
It's my favorite movie of the past year, full stop. But I can definitely see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
Have you all seen Fire Island yet? It's a modern queer adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, and I thought it was delightful. Maybe my new favorite Mr. Darcy? Anyway, it's on Hulu, and I highly recommend it!

I've seen GIFs of it on Tumblr and I keep meaning to watch it and then forgetting. Maybe tonight.
We watched the 2021 Suicide Squad last night, and I am so goddamn amused that the only good DC movies are the villain movies (Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad).
The most unrealistic part of Suicide Squad (and I say that in the context of the entire goddamn bonkers comic-book movie, including Starro) is that when Idris Elba walked into a bar, he wasn’t immediately surrounded by people hitting on him. Because he is Idris Goddamn Elba.
FYI: Amazon has the Blu-ray version of the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition trilogy on sale for $25 today.
FYI, Science Friday today has an interview all about the scientific basis for the creature in Nope. Very interesting!
I finally made it to the theater to see Three Thousand Years of Longing yesterday. It's the most visually sumptuous movie I've seen all year, and the dialogue between Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba is a delight. The narrative kind of goes flat/less profound toward the end, but given the previous two points I didn't really mind that much.

Ooh, I've thinking I might sneak off to a matinee of that.
Tonight I'm going to see the Bowie doc in IMAX. His music is going to sound so good on that big sound system.
