You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There were, admittedly, at least a few that I thought to myself "I wouldn't think I would like that look, but in this case I do", so possibly I was swept up in the moment.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Neko Atsume movie? Seriously? watches Wow. Is there a version with English subtitles?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

During Hidden Figures, I had to keep reminding myself that JOHN GLENN WOULD BE OKAY BECAUSE HE JUST DIED LAST MONTH.

Right there with you. Even knowing full well that everything would turn out all right (spoilers!), the anticipation in those scenes still had me tearing up knapkins in my hands.

It did occur to me upon leaving the film that prior to seeing it I couldn't have actually named any of the white men involved in the space program back then other than the astronauts themselves, so maybe my outrage over not having heard the stories of Johnson, Vaughan, and Jackson earlier was a bit premature.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Saw La La Land last night and Lion today. I liked Lion more.

La La Land was fine, enjoyable, but that was it, not much to talk about except the way it looked.

I haven't seen La La Land, and I think it might be designed for me. However, I think I might be annoyed if it got an Oscar nom and Moulin Rouge didn't-- because man, Moulin Rouge was a well-crafted, beautiful thing.

They remade King Kong? I'd probably know this if I watched more TV with regular commercials.
