Oh, Mac. Well, enjoy!
I still haven't seen GotG 2, maybe I will fix that tomorrow. Forecast is high of 104 and I don't have a/c, maybe a couple of movies are in order...
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.

Just saw Wonder Woman with two thirteen-year-old girls -- all three of us sobbed and cheered. I guess I should have quibbles with it, but right now I'm still too high on Diana Prince to care about the little things.
how differently would I feel about this movie if Hillary Clinton were my president? If we were moving (however haltingly) toward finding the strength in our diversity; toward greater protections for marginalized people, women, the environment; toward what I thought would be our progressive, pluralistic future? Would these movies feel so important, or so distressingly far from the world I find myself in now?
When Ares is calling out humans for having hatred in their hearts, it hit me pretty hard. The world is a terrifying example of exactly how ugly humans can be right now. And her response that love always matters was beautiful, but I wanted it to ... mean more? Or know that more people but me and my friends felt that way, I guess. It's difficult to find people who are living the beliefs of the Amazons right now, certainly.
So, has anybody seen the new The Mummy with Tom Cruise? I've seen the reviews are...not favorable. But I'd like to hear from you guys, if possible, whether it's still fun, or just painfully atrocious. We're considering seeing it on Saturday for my traditional birthday movie, so I need to know whether I'll enjoy it even in its badness or we should just steer clear.
All I've heard is it's the worst Tom Cruise movie ever made.

A remarkably high bar. Yikes.

Top Gun is a thing of beauty. Also suuuuuuper gay.
someone I follow online said they enjoyed it and it was good old-fashioned monster movie with good effects and music. Accuracy in any way shape or form? no.

Having seen Losin' It, I'm now abandoning any thought of paying money to see this thing.

He actually gives a good performance in Interview with the Vampire. I'm not just saying that because I'm a sad Anne Rice fangirl.

Everyone I know who is a fan of the horror genre said it was kinda boring, way too "action movie" in tone, and there wasn't enough of the Mummy. I know the reviews I've read haven't been good.
