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.

Hey. New board.
Jupiter seems to spend most of her movie ascending to the "rescue me" tower.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
She rescued herself at one point.

Hey. New board.
I did say most. But once you have been rescued five times in nearly identical scenes, it just doesn't feel very bad ass.
If she had finished the job with Redmayne it would have helped a bit but the movie would have been a narrative mess either way. There was a lot of potential squandered there, in my estimation.
The Wachowskis are feeling a bit George Lucas to me these days.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The Wachowskis have felt Lucas-y to me since Matrix Reloaded.

Reviews seem to indicate they're doing a good job with Sense8 (or Lily is, I guess, since Lana just left the project).
I can definitely see how stresses in their personal lives might have interfered with doing their best work since 2003. Hopefully things will goa bit smoother from now on.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I think Sense8 has the same problems as some of that other stuff, but it's also got more room to make up for those problems. Or better characters. Or just more characters.

Jupiter Ascending was stupid in someways, but I also found it tremendously fun and watchable.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I saw Whit Stillman's new Jane Austen movie, Love & Friendship, over the weekend and enjoyed it tons. The trailer: [link]
I had no interest in her Underworld movies so haven't seen Beckinsale in anything for years. I'd forgotten how delightful she could be in period stuff! (She was a fun Emma but she will always be Flora Poste to meeee). Also refreshing is the fact that her character is both the heroine and the villain of the story, but it's all so frothy, there is only a sliver of moralizing in the proceedings.
