WW scenes from BvS.
Thank you! Now I don't have to watch the whole stupid movie!
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did anyone else see 20th Century Women? I just watched it on the plane, and it was so great. Although after that and Beginners, I wonder how this guy is going to keep making movies -- I mean, there's only so much autobiography, right? (Beginners was about his dad, who came out late in life, 20th C. Women was about his mom and his childhood.)

Thrive to spite them
I watched Wonder woman and liked it a lot. Didn't love it. Parts of it I did.
For whatever reason I found Steve Trevor annoying and boring.

I watched it as part of my Oscar Blitz and it ended up at #4 on my updated 2016 Top Ten. Of course, the time period of his coming-of-age makes the film practically tailor-made for me, but I still feel it was vastly underrated and am sorry more people didn't see it.
Note: You can see my Top 25 of 2016 here.

Yeah, I really liked it too. Though not quite as much as Certain Women (going for a bit of a Women theme here. Which means that of course I'm also going to see Wonder Woman when it opens here next week).
Because of different release dates, all of these films will be on my 2017 list, along with La La Land, Moonlight and the rest. My best film of 2016 was Arrival.

Still mad I didn't get to see Certain Women in theaters. Especially since I was doing #52FilmsByWomen last year. I hope I can stream or rent it soon.

BTW, one film on my list that I think many Buffistas would appreciate but I don't think has been talked about here is Busanhaeng (Train to Busan), a glorious Korean action-thriller-horror mashup with great character development. I believe it's being remade in English because of course. It's currently streaming on Netflix.

I've never even heard of Certain Women! But now I want to see that, too.

I'd heard of that megan, it's zombie sub-genre, isn't it?

Yes, and therefore not something I would usually like, but it is very taut, with individualized characters and decent social commentary.
