There was a movie a couple of months ago called Boss Baby, so it's an easy mistake to make.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I loved Baby Driver--but it does have very flimsy characters. Still, it didn't bother me, as everything else was so visually and aurally fun.

I wonder if there were budget issues with Baby Driver, because in the first half the car chases were AMAZING, but in the climax the car chases tended to be in confined places like parking lots or parking garages.

Cheers for that, chris!
Edgar Wright spoke at Awesome Con. I was too busy working, but the attendees said very complimentary things about him. I'm embarrassed to say, I'd never heard of him, despite having seen Hot Fuzz and The World's End.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Random belated movie thoughts:
Power Rangers actually had some really good stuff, and some stuff that was...not. And Elizabeth Banks either having a really good time or paying off some student loans.
Wonder Woman: Enjoyed it. Would have enjoyed it more, probably, if I hadn't been spoiled by Tumblr, but life happened and prevented me from seeing it before now. Gadot and Pine were great.
Baby Driver: Well, that wasn't deep, but it was fun, and did enough unexpected stuff to keep me interested. I felt like the movie really kicked into gear (ha ha ha) about twenty minutes too late.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Saw The Big Sick last night and loved it! So sweet, so funny. Who knew Ray Romano was so great? (Not that everyone wasn't great.)
My mother also tried to see it, but it was sold out by the time they got there, so they ended up seeing Wonder Woman. She loved it! Her friend not so much, but she is Not a super hero movie person.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Baby Driver: Well, that wasn't deep, but it was fun, and did enough unexpected stuff to keep me interested. I felt like the movie really kicked into gear (ha ha ha) about twenty minutes too late.
Someone on FB commented that it was a Hollywood musical disguised as a heist movie, which makes me think more fondly of it in retrospect.
