I was amused by Glenn's full head of hair...

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.

WRT Glenn and Hidden Figures, I was checking to see if he had been a producer. It seemed to go out of the way to show him SPECIFICALLY as being non-racist. I almost felt like I did wrt to Dre and Ice watching Straight Outta Compton. like, come ON!

I was curious about that, too. But apparently that's real? [link]

Looking forward to Hidden Figures.
I loved La La Land so much, I wrote down some of the reasons why, here:
(Scroll down to the people jumping, it's the second bit).

Oh, thanks for that, Fiona. Yes!
The thought I have been trying to wrestle into coherency is that La La Land is the opposite of Immortal Beloved. My dad got really mad at Immortal Beloved for using Beethoven's music to wring emotional responses from the audience that the story didn't earn. Mom and I decided he probably wouldn't like La La Land (because he doesn't generally like musicals, I only thought about Immortal Beloved afterward) and saw it without him, so I can't compare his reaction. For me, though, I quickly reconciled that the music I was hearing in the score of La La Land, particularly in the epilogue, was not great music itself (I didn't go home humming any of it), but sort of a representation of imaginary music that would evoke all the images we were seeing and emotions that went with them. Like Tinkerbell being played by a point of light. And that totally works for me.

I was unaware I needed a Neko Atsume movie. But I do.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We were at a friend's house for the first time last week, and Tim realized it was like being in Neko Atsume, because they had several different colored cubes for the cats to sleep in, and 3 different cat towers, and a really comfy looking cat hammock. And one of their cats is about as big as Tubbs.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
My friend and I (both space nerds) joked about the John Glenn sequence "OMG is he gonna make it?!" ...I was a little annoyed that it reminded me of the evil 2016 (via our loss of Glenn), but it was such a good film that the annoyance was slight.
Also: the casting for Glenn was GREAT. As all the Mercury 7 walked by, he was the only one that I "recognized".

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I loved La La Land, in part because it is a small story. Can't agree with you on the costuming at all, Epic.
As I stated in my post, it's distinctly possible that my mom and I are just judgmental and/or bitchy. And I did adore about half of the costumes. But about half we really didn't care for. Obviously the costumer and whoever else makes those choices agreed with you rather than us!
