The trailer looked like it was for a Will Ferrell "comedy" to me. Do Not Want, even if the star weren't someone I have a very low opinion of.
Don't I get a cookie?

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It's wild that it's doing so poorly. The PCHH team kinda liked it, although they were uncertain about some things. It was an interesting discussion anyway.

This too shall pass.
We all understood the premise well enough, it was just not interesting to watch. No likeable characters, no great score, no fascinating sets or costumes. There were others in the theater who enjoyed it, as it is such a tiny place that the locals all gather to discuss in the lobby after the show. Of the few of us that didn't leave early we mostly felt it was 2 hours of our lives we would never get back.
It was likely the execution because I think if I had read it as a book, it would have worked for me.

ltc chose Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for our movie tonight. I’m so proud.

The trifecta of Do Revenge, Weapons, and Resident Evil have caused an unfortunate "Austin Abrams performance appreciation" situation, which means I'm going to be seeing the stupid whale movie when I can figure out which day makes sense for my schedule. (My usual Regal is undergoing renovations, so half the auditoriums are out of service while they upgrade to recliner seats, which means I have to figure out how to go far afield for it or bite the bullet and go see it downtown.)
More importantly, however, I'm going to see You Can See Everything tomorrow. I will report back.

I was discovered the book Whale Fall at a bookstore a month ago and was fascinated by it without knowing it was being made into a movie.
My claustrophobia will absolutely not tolerate the movie anymore than I was ever going to watch The Descent so I'll eagerly await your review.

I expect it will be something along the lines of, "THE THINGS I DO FOR GOOD ACTING HURT ME." or something.
Speaking of good acting, I fucking loved Primetime. Not a bad performance in the bunch. (I was in it for Acting + Vibe, and it delivered on both.)

Woo! It's showing in one of the upgraded theatres now. Stupid whale movie ticket acquired.
Back half of October is packed for me: You Can See Everything, Spirited Away, Stupid Whale Movie, and Klara and the Sun are all purchased, and I still have to get tickets for Horny Wickerman and a few others.

Horny Wickerman is getting some good early press.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Horny Wickerman! Man, so many movies, so few days of the week.
