I forgot about this (sorry) until about 10 minutes ago then realized even though we're geeks that at least one of us would be at a Superb Owl party anyway.

Hey I might not be joining y'all tomorrow. I've had a cold/flu all week, and it's pretty tricky for me to talk without coughing a ridiculous amount. We'll see if tomorrow is any better, but don't count on it.

Sounds good to me. I'm getting older, I kinda can't handle late Sunday nights any more.

edit: this was originally in reply to Boter, but I didn't realize there was a new page of posts. i can go either way. if we're up for a short session where we find out what new info there is and we make plans for next week, i can do that. if not, i'll happily get an extra few hours sleep.

Oh my god that sounds fucking amazing.

Yep, I wrote it down, got it right here!

A plot hole to me is something inconsistent, not necessarily missing information. Simpler example: the whole "how did Poe get off Jakku?" thing. We can assume he found a way, that's fine. There's certainly nothing in the movie that contradicts that, or gives us a reason to think it would be impossible.

I only saw 7 movies at the cinema this year. (Though there's another half-dozen I still want to see, eventually).

But, two of those I saw twice. Fury Road (obviously), and The Hateful Eight. So my vote is for those two.

I feel sadly confident saying that how you feel about The Hateful Eight will be greatly impacted by the audience you see it with. It's kind of a crapshoot. But it's a very intelligent/deliberate film (but not heavy-handed, 'cause fuck me that first audience missed the point). Maybe in a few years we'll look back and recognize that Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight were a turning point for QT and we'll take those seriously and not just on the surface. Probably not though.

Oh, and honourable mention to a German film called Victoria. Don't watch a trailer, don't look up info on it, but go find a copy and watch it. A pleasant treat. Whether you like it or not, it's certainly a unique experience.

Me too, I'll be here.

Sounds fair. Midnight'll be a hard-out for me, too. I've got a shit-ton to do this week before the semester finishes, and I don't wanna be worrying about that stuff over the Christmas break.

Are we playing tomorrow, or is it a thanksgiving weekend break?

Okiedokes.
