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.

I need to get to a theater for it.

I’m not sure if I posted in Natter or just at Bluesky, but would anyone be interested in doing a movie club? Select a movie to all watch in the course of a month and then get together to discuss?

I’m actively working on filling movie gaps as well as working on an ever expanding Oscar list. If I can maintain recent efforts, I should be managing 3-5 movies a week.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Reposting from Natter - what's the gore/blood factor?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Some of both. What movies have you found to hit your maximum level of comfort with them without exceeding it? That might help me judge if it's going to be overly so for you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm interested in a monthly movie, msbelle. I've been defaulting to other entertainments most of the time lately, but when I do manage to watch something (ie, Conclave this weekend) I am reminded that I like watching movies and like talking about movies. Having an external motivation to watch a particular movie would be good for me, I am sure

How did you like Conclave? I thought there was some great cinematic choices in shots, but hated the ending.

I loved a *lot* of the visuals. So striking. Glad I watched it.

I was surprised how compelling the plot was, even though I had a hard time remembering which old white guy was which. Why did you hate the ending?

I thought a twist was unnecessary and made an otherwise good movie feel lessened somehow gimmicky.

Fair enough. It worked for me, and fit well with how all the candidates had something that maybe made them unfit and we (or Lawrence) have to grapple with how much that matters.

The IWTV TV show is about my upper limit for blood, and I hate jump scares.
