The Babadook was great, It Follows is coming out and I'm really stoked for that, and I've also seen a trailer for one called Spring, which was described as a Lovecraftian romance
The same guys also did one called Resolution, which The AV Club really liked
Basically I'm gonna just watch a buncha horror movies this weekend and be really on edge the whole time

Well, back on the scrapheap
Let me know how Spring is
@Balefuego it was announced to be out today on VOD but I'm having trouble finding where
I'll let you know if I find anything
Ba-ba-ba-dook-DOOK-DOOK
GAHFUCK
I bought Locke and Babadook blu rays yesterday, looking forward to both

I live within walking distance to a theater, so my roommate and I last year got fucked up and walked over to see 'Need for Speed.' He was high, I was drunk.
He approached the ticket counter:
Him: Can I get a ticket for Need for Furious?
Him: Fuck. I mean Fast for Speed?
Him: Fuck. The car vroom one with Walter White's friend.
I ordered the snacks, which included, "Only your finest popcorn and a vat of diet coke."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor
My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!
Yeah it was a weird movie

I enjoyed a lot of it and was just confounded by a lot of it. Basically they surrounded Chappie with a bunch of cartoon characters, making the actual digital character the most believable one in the whole dang thing.
Also Hugh Jackman just needed to be named Bruce to be a full on cartoon Australian.
There were certainly bits I liked though

Babadook was hands down my favorite movie of the last year, it's worth losing a bit of sleep.
It made me cry moreso than it scared me though, it basically punches you in the stomach emotionally and scares you while you are on the ground.
Ninja to me felt like a step father.
In that like my step father, he was mean, vulgar, cruel, hateful, kind apologetic, sweet, and wanted to at times do right by you.
I think he did a good job of it if that was the goal.
Those Criterion Blu-rays I grabbed from that sale the other day came in today
Really fast shipping!
Anyways I grabbed Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited
I didn't think too highly of The Life Aquatic and Darjeeling when I saw them at release, but that was a long time ago and I've been meaning to revisit them
And then my Secret Santa got me Howl's Moving Castle, which I'd never seen, and I picked up Princess Mononoke, which I hadn't seen in like...ten years or so, both on Blu-ray
Last night and today I watched both of them and they were both excellent
Anyways long story short, I joined that Disney Movie Club deal today after I've had a couple coworkers tell me how it worked, and just now I ended up grabbing The Little Mermaid, Hercules, Mulan, The Emperor's New Groove, Kiki's Delivery Service and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind on Blu-ray for a total of $25
I suddenly feel like I'll need to visit/revisit all the Ghibli films
It is so good that when Miyazaki was considering finally doing a sequel a couple years ago, I thought the dub was going to be Michael Keaton's way back to recognition.
Taken out of context, I can see this being sung by some back-up singers in sequin dresses.
I watched both of these just recently!
I liked Porco Rosso a lot but Whisper of the Heart didn't do much for me at all
I don't remember seeing what the consensus on the trailer was around here, and after Salvation I was ready to just give up on the franchise (to the point where I didn't watch the trailer when it hit online), but the new Terminator seems like it could be really cool
That trailer was doing a lot for me
It's sorta like one of those old Columbia House-type rackets, except you're not really paying insane prices because Disney movies are insane prices no matter where you buy them
When you sign up, you pick four movies for $1 total. At sign-up, you're also allowed to pick a fifth movie for an extra $15, and a sixth movie for $10 on top of that.
After that, your commitment is to buy five normally-priced movies within two years. If you took that fifth bonus movie for $15 though, that knocks off one of them, so for instance I now have two years to buy four Disney movies
And I can guarantee that in the next two years, I will get Aladdin, The Avengers 2, Ant-Man and Cap 3
Tonight I am going to the "second chance" discount movie theater that Ang Li used to frequent when he was a film student.
I am thinking about watching Interstellar, is this a good idea Y/N
Cuz I am a sucker for that shit, I cry every time.
Also, second best robots.
I am going to push hard for Interstellar based on this information.
I think my girl mentioned wanted to see it so it may not be a hard sell.
Are there any giant monsters that I need to be aware of, because I will get punched in the arm if there are giant monsters.
This is not a deal breaker, I just want to know what I am in for.
