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.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

I'm pretty excited about Woman King: the PCHH gang really really loved it.
