Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
Just got back from Sinners. That was some good shit, like "This movie is someone's master's thesis" level of Things To Say, and I will see you all in the Tumblr tags.
I had a couple times where I anticipated the jumpscare, and a couple I didn't. I think the gore felt...anatomical, rather than gory? And, yeah, not gratuitous.
I could never pull off, but covet deeply, the knit dress Mary wore at the train station, both as a knitter and as a person who wears clothes.
Going to see Sinners tomorrow.
Sinners is fantastic. I was afraid of the horror/gore, but it was fine. I loved Lovecraft Country, which was a little gorier, honestly. Still some gratuitous blood spurting, but totally worth it.
And I bailed on the theater when my friend bailed.
