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.

But I love you, so have a gift link to a great Atlantic article about Sinners and the Jim Crow economy. [link]

I just got back from seeing Sinners. Just about everything about it was wonderful—the story, the performances, the production and cinematography, and most especially the music. If it doesn't end up winning at least Best Score at the Oscars, it won't be for lack of quality.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My god, that scene where he's playing the music and people start to appear from the past and the future...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The momentum Sinners is gaining is interesting -- for both the 2 theater locations that are closest to us, Sinners has more showtimes this weekend than Thunderbolts does. And Sinners opened, what, 3 weeks before Thunderbolts?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Just got back from Sinners. That was some good shit, like "This movie is someone's master's thesis" level of Things To Say, and I will see you all in the Tumblr tags.
I had a couple times where I anticipated the jumpscare, and a couple I didn't. I think the gore felt...anatomical, rather than gory? And, yeah, not gratuitous.
I could never pull off, but covet deeply, the knit dress Mary wore at the train station, both as a knitter and as a person who wears clothes.

Sinners is fantastic. I was afraid of the horror/gore, but it was fine. I loved Lovecraft Country, which was a little gorier, honestly. Still some gratuitous blood spurting, but totally worth it.

And I bailed on the theater when my friend bailed.
