Aw, I really enjoyed Fantastic Beasts. I agree that the story didn't hang together as well as it might, but it didn't bother me, as the world was so beautifully realised and the characters were such a pleasure. I was surprised, actually, by how nice it was to be back in Potterworld (haven't read half of the books, mixed response to the films) .

It was gorgeous to look at.

I agree on the mixed reaction to the appearance of Mr. Depp. Am I alone in wishing he and Colin Farrell had swapped parts? Then it would have been one film with Johnny and four with Colin, looking all distinguished with his steel-grey temples and crisp white shirt. It was nice to be mostly unspoiled for the reveal, however, even if it was a bit Scooby-Do .

I think Potterheads should definitely see it.

It was gorgeous, yes.

Sounds like FB is a film I can watch and enjoy for the pretty and the gasps without having to pay much attention to plot. Such movies are useful some days.

The Love Witch was so good.

Right? It's such a Buffista movie.

Saw Arrival over the weekend, and the thing that pulled me out of the story is the idea that there is good enough internet in Sierra Leone to do video streaming! We can barely do audio streaming with my coworkers there.

I did enjoy (politically) the fact that Jeremy Renner's character had no purpose other than being a love interest for Amy Adams.

Ha! I assumed that secret government agencies have ways of making the internet happen.

Fair enough! (also you copied the wrong sentence from my post)
