Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!

Film and TV discussion

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.

Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret trailer.

I'm still not sure how I feel about a movie version of that book

I'm 50-50 on (1) being incredibly delighted and (2) wanting to run far and fast in the other direction.

I'm so glad it's a period piece (npi).

I remember the book already being dated by the time I read it (very late 70s-early 80s), because I was totally confused when the book talked about pads with belts. I was picturing, like, a leather belt you use to hold your pants up! (In my defense, I was 9 or 10 years old, and pretty much Amelia Bedelia.)

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

It'd be cool if Angela Bassett and Michelle Yeoh won!

But I think Cate is going to take best actress.

Kinda feel like Brendon is going to win. There's a lot of feel-good vibe around that performance.

A fat suit and an actor's triumphant return? Hollywood eats that shit up.

Bring him back for another Mummy movie, along with the rest of the original cast, and *then* you're talking pure gold. But hard pass on the fat suit.

I completely missed The Banshees of Inisherin when it was released. I'll have to watch it on HBO Max.

So far this is what I'm rooting for, but only because I think Women Talking has no chance.

Well. That's a lot of stuff.

That made me go check to see if the Blue Beetle movie is still being released in August. (It is.)

a Batman and Robin (Damien) movie

I'm intrigued.

I'm still in burn-it-all-down mode. None of that is tempting enough to get me to pay to see it.
