So I saw I Am Not Your Negro last night; it's the documentary made from James Baldwin's writings, about Baldwin and the black American experience. Alternately enraging, funny, and horrifying. Just a really good movie and many people should see it.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
The trailer for the Kingsman sequel has Eggsy in an orange velvet tuxedo jacket AND Channing Tatum. What's not to love?

The whiff of violent macho homophobia that was in the first one?
It takes a lot to make me take a pass on a Colin Firth movie; I sat through Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, for God's sake!

Whereas I have zero desire to ever see a Bridget Jones movie.
Different people like different shit.

That lack of desire is definitely a feeling worth listening to regarding the second one. I'm told the recent sequel is quite a bit better, but I'm still gun-shy years afterward.

Oh wait, I saw the new Bridget Jones! It was not as good as the first one, but enjoyable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
my movie buddy will probably want to see Kingsman, so I'll probably see it with her.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Shit, shit, shit.
RIP Jonathan Demme.
Shit.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oy ... I had loaned a co-worker a couple of DVDs, one of which is Elmer Gantry. We spoke about it and it turns out he thought it was a comedy (!) because we'd been talking about actors and he thought Burt Lancaster was who I was talking about when I told him about Danny Kaye (!).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Toddson, (!), indeed.
