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.
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.
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.
RIP George Romero.
...and Martin Landau.
HE'S NOT DEAD HE JUST GOT BLASTED OUT OF ORBIT.
Finally saw Spider-Man! God, flashbacks to high school, gah.
The credits scenes were great, and Chris Evans looked like he was having a great deal of trouble not laughing, and I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
What a great way of showing the trials of a baby superhero. And nice tie-in with Winter Soldier.
But I'm a shallow Tony Stark fan and Tony and Pepper are still together!!!! And that was surely Dummy picking up things he shouldn't!
And hijacking a plane of Stark goodies makes a great deal of sense.
Oh, the bored teachers.
Saw Colossal, as it just came out on iTunes. I meant to catch it in a theater but missed it. Anyway, I loved it. It's a comedy that's not really about a giant monster trashing Seoul, Korea, although that happens. It's more about alcoholism, toxic masculinity, and male entitlement. Very original and fun.
I really wanted to see that! Thanks for the rec, tommy.
Heh. Hearing about the spoilerfont is what made me decide not to drive to a neighboring city where it was playing in theaters.
Yeah, it's a comedy, but the spoilerfont stuff makes the funny go and the creepiness arrive.
