A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!

Film and TV discussion

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.

I liked ET at the time, because blatant emotional manipulation really worked on me. But I rewatched it a few years ago, and while some fictional emotional manipulation still works on me, ET is now on my list of "Ew, can we not?" movies.

though it's possible I liked the novelization better.

Oh, I know I liked the novelization better. IIRC, I tended to like the movie novelizations for Spielberg movies better than the movies, except for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Out of nowhere, CJ just said he never liked ET.

I finally got my butt to the theater tonight to see Dunkirk before it left the screen. Very powerful, it felt like going through a wringer. I would imagine that it will at least walk away with Sound Mixing and Sound Editing awards regardless of what gets released late in the year, and it will take a lot to overcome it for Cinematography as well.

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

Dang, Rami Malek doesn't even look like Rami-Malek-as-Freddie-Mercury. That's a hell of a transformation.

In other "movies that make you slightly uncomfortable but are unique visions with great lead performances" news, Good Time is this week's Ingrid Goes West. It's a shame so few people will actually see these movies.

Anyway, Good Time had an 80s-Michael Mann vibe, which was more than the music I think (which was very 80s Michael Mann). Robert Pattinson completely disappears into the lead role. I didn't always love the cinematography but it worked well for what they were doing.

I have no idea why I never watched the original 1999 version of The Mummy, but we watched it tonight, and it was a DELIGHT.

I have no idea why I never watched the original 1999 version of The Mummy, but we watched it tonight, and it was a DELIGHT.

I can't really call that the "original" Mummy, but the first Brendan Fraser one is very fun.

Well, the non-Tom Cruise one.
