Yes to both these points!

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Saw the latest Fantastic Four. Um. They forgot to make a movie.
Also, please stop trying to make Miles Teller happen.

Also, please stop trying to make Miles Teller happen.
Yes, please. It's like someone made a more talented but uglier clone of Shia Labeouf—the douchiness just comes rolling off him in waves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, La La Land -- I thought it was great, but do we think it's getting SO much acclaim because people want to see something nice this year? (Also, I wish the singing had been better.)

I finally watched The Force Awakens last night. Sad to say, I was pretty bored through parts of its, and not the parts that were nearly a shot-for-shot recreation of the first movie. The two gangs suddenly appearing out of nowhere on Han's freighter? With added monsters? Why? And these planets all seem to be right next door to each other. Plus the one Han's on is conveniently placed so the shot that's supposed to be going through hyperspace from one solar system to another is conveniently visible overhead.
I hope Kylo grows out of his lightsaber tantrums.
I like Finn and Poe.

I was fine with the lala land singing, I liked that it wasn't all broadway star big voices, but I wish the plot was better. The stakes seemed really low to me. It was gorgeous, though.

I found it really enjoyable, but basically not much there there, so I'm interested in the critical attention. They were typical rom-com stakes, no?

Punishingly Intricate
They were typical rom-com stakes, no?I guess? But I couldn't help but compare it to Don't Think Twice which actually had a similar-ish dilemma at its core.
