Spike ,'Lineage'
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.
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!
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.
Neko Atsume movie? Seriously? watches Wow. Is there a version with English subtitles?
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.
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.
What, again?
It's called Kong Skull Island, and Samuel L. Jackson is in it.
Well, of COURSE he is. Who else? Anyone of note? Hiddleston, maybe?
