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.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
The local Stumptown Coffee hung stills from the movie on the walls as artwork. They were all dioramas of Portland. Absolutely gorgeous!

I love both of them, but the previews for that looked so stressful! Was it stressful?
I don't recall it being that stressful, but also, my favorite movie thus far this year has been The Drama, so I might not be a good judge of all that.
I am not into the whale movie because I read a short story a while back about a whale fall that was really good and this movie looks nothing at all like that story, so I resent that it has that title.
In fairness to the movie, it is based on a book. With the same title. Whalefall, not Stupid Whale Movie. I haven't read it, and thus I cannot say if it is Stupid Whale Book. People seem to like it, I guess?
I have read Klara and the Sun, however, and if Taika's back in full form with this one, he's an excellent match for the source. The book comes right to the edge of "any movie would be a disappointment", but thankfully, unlike The Power of the Dog, doesn't go over that edge. I hear the movie for the latter is great, but the writing in the book is so mind-blowingly amazing that I just couldn't watch it.
