Maybe I thought Get Out was too realistic to be proper horror.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

We saw Beauty and The Beast tonight and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The controversial aspect was way blown out of proportion. There is no gay kiss, it is just a moment or two that would go over most kids heads. But really, if you have seen the animated version LaFou is a total Gaston fanboy to begin with. In the live action, they just turn it up a couple of notches .

I can't believe Kong is getting decent reviews. I thought it was terrible. Badly written, badly directed, badly edited, and in some cases badly acted.

Oh, my. I just got back from Kong and was coming to the board to say how much I loved it. The nods to Apocalypse Now, The Land Before Time, and all the early Godzilla movies were great. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Hiddleston throughout. And, after watching her in this, I'm warming toward Brie Larson as Captain Marvel.

Heh. I thought it was a waste of Brie Larson. No accounting for taste, I guess.

I was listening to Jordan Peele on Fresh Air this morning, and he calls Get Out a "social thriller" (as opposed to a psychological thriller, I think), not a horror movie. Vindication!!
(Also I realized that I think if it were a horror movie, the last bit would have taken an hour.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was just listening to that interview!

I saw a free preview of Gifted last night. If you're planning to see the movie because a) Chris Evans b) with a child c) occasionally flaunting his biceps, you will not be disappointed.
I thought it was good, and exactly what it wanted to be and no more. For example, this is a role that Octavia Spencer can play in her sleep.
