I finally saw Sinners last night, as it's streaming on Apple. That was good! I can see how it would have been gorgeous on a big screen, but there was enough blood I was ok with not seeing it on a big screen. The cast was great and the music was amazing.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

Had a thought or two about "The Last Showgirl" here. [link]

God, I love how much Gunn gets Superman. Like, I was pretty confident after GotG 3 that he'd do Clark justice, but DAMN, he just gets him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club, especially Joyce, but what about Bogdan! He's kind of important to the other books.

I KNOW! I am distressed about that. Not to mention Donna and Bogdan don't actually meet until the 4th book, I think?
I know they had to make changes just to fit the story into a movie but that is egregious. There are other things I am more minorly not happy about, that one requires fixing.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I enjoyed it, but maybe I remembered too much about the books. They skipped over the priest and nun storyline completely . Which isn't unusual in adaptations, but I enjoyed that diversion in the book.
Still, bring it on with the excellent cast. Sure did clean up Ron.
Additionally, a dear friend from high school was named Bogdan, which, of course, holds him in a special place in my heart.

Oh, I watched with my sister, who hadn't read the books, and she didn't like Elizabeth at all. Understandable, but my opinion of the character is based on so much more.

I haven't read it recently enough to remember a lot of plot points, but I love Bogdan!

The movie did make me want to reread the book, in part because while I felt like stuff was missing I could not remember exactly what in plot terms at least but also because it reminded me how much I like spending time with these characters.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I went to see Hamilton today and was reminded again why we don't ever go to this theater. On the plus side, it has a full menu you can order to a very comfy seat and doesn't require driving over the (toll) bridge and back. On the downside, it is the WORST at being a movie theater. The projection cut off the top and sides (during a closeup in "Wait For It" all we could see was LOJ's jaw because the rest of his face was out of frame) and when I complained and someone went to fix it, the entire thing went out of focus (which was not an improvement).
Hopefully nobody in the theater was seeing it for the first time because UGH.
