Dang, Rami Malek doesn't even look like Rami-Malek-as-Freddie-Mercury. That's a hell of a transformation.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

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

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

Well, the non-Tom Cruise one.

I didn't realize that Mr. The Rock was in the sequel, so I put that on hold at the library.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for Mr. The Rock's contributions to that movie. Or anyone's, really.

Huh. Several people commented on FB (or maybe Tumblr?) that the sequel is pretty fun, but the third one is awful.
I mean, I'm not expecting an Oscar-worthy performance from anyone in it. I know what I'm getting myself into with a campy movie about a cursed mummy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That was right at the beginning of Mr. The Rock's Hollywood career. I'm glad he got better and that movies figured out how to use him.
