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.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am sure I will die when I see it. Die from Ovary Explosion.

This sound promising.

OK, but what if you're sad about Chris Evans and Jenny Slate breaking up IRL?
