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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm so tempted by The Abyss, but I'm not sure I can justify taking the kids out that late on a school night.

Miss Marple would NEVER.
No indeed, she would not.

I'm less attached to Poirot, as I read fewer of those. So I'm fine with Branagh's version. And I really liked A Haunting in Venice. I found it genuinely suspenseful.

We watched it last night. It was fun. (After I got over "WHO is playing Ariadne Oliver?")

Here to report that the theatrical showing of the Broadway musical *Waitress* was as charming and enjoyable as the movie originally was. I think there's another showing tonight if anyone is interested.

Agreed. Some of that music was so fabulous.

Oh good, I was wondering about that

The Tony and Grammy nominations Sara Bareilles received for the music were well-earned.

Thoughts on today's Oscar nominations: [link]

In short, I'm pretty pleased with them and think there are a lot of reasons to celebrate this year's crop of nominees.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I saw All of Us Strangers this past weekend and have hardly stopped thinking about it since. Anyone else seen it?
