Simon ,'Out Of Gas'
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 watched Suspicion tonight. 1942 Hitchcock. Not his best.
I had fond memories of it from my teen years, and I still love it (mainly for Beaky and the Regency romance plot), but it went down in my esteem quite a bit when I blogged Hitchcock's filmography a decade or so ago. Now, it just barely makes the top 20 in my Hitchcock rankings.
I finally saw Sinners on Saturday, and told my mother she should really see it, so then today when I was going to see Thunderbolts with my cousin (I am obviously way behind), Sinners was at the same theater at about the same time, so she came and saw that! We both thought it was great, obviously.
For Tony Todd fans, I've read that the filmmakers of Final Destination: Bloodlines were informed of his diagnosis and let him go off script in his character's final scene to give whatever goodbye message he wanted to his fans and the audience in general. In addition to that bit of poignancy the movie is getting good reviews as a whole, so it sounds as if it's a proper sendoff.
So, I want to see 28 Years Later but I don’t think I ever saw 28 Weeks Later and haven’t seen the first one since it was new. Should I catch up first?
Dave Bautista to star in RomCom:
The film tells the story of bestselling romance author Francine London, who has a secret: she’s actually a six-foot-four mountain of a man named Ed Schwenke. When Ed’s identity comes under scrutiny, he hires a wildcard of a woman to pose as Francine at a romance fiction convention, while evading a cynical female journalist, who hates romance even more than she hates liars.
Wasn't this the premise of Oh Madeline back in the 80s?
I'm pretty hyped about seeing Superman this weekend.

A guy stopped by the comic store while I was hanging out and raved about it. Said he couldn't wait to watch it again.
Said Gunn took all the heart from Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and ported it into the DCU via Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman.
Yesssssss.
Is good. Yes.
