The world building was nuts but fine. Zero problem with bees. I love a little silliness like that. The Planet of Bureaucrats was awesome. But the plotting was just blah. Also dialogue.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Some films just push your lizard brain buttons regardless of its overall quality. I reckon Jupiter Ascending does that to quite a few people the way Pacific Rim does to mine.
It left me cold with the exception of those 5 minutes of Space Bureaucracy in the middle that felt right out of Brazil. I wanted en entire movie of that. I also thought Channing Taum and Mila Kunis had absolutely no chemistry (understanding that chemistry can be in the eyes of the beholder), which made me sad because here was a pairing that'd support canon bestiality and A/B/O kinks! Too bad those two were as passionate as a tangle of wet noodles.

Sean Bean's character arc was obvious to me the second his daughter coughed. If someone in a movie coughs and they aren't in the middle of a burning building, it's terminal cancer. Or consumption.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I ended up watching Paddington today. Which was adorable, and had Peter Capaldi in it, which I did not know ahead of time.
