  1. And we're out!

    Asteroid City was very self-consciously weird. Knowing at least some of the actors got their start on theater stages, I wonder/hope they were having more of a fun time with all the meta-layers, even if the audience wasn't.

    Bechdel pass; big cast, several women, occasionally they talked about science, movies, and/or moms/daughters.

  4. Asteroid City, our final feature, was slated for 11:05. We managed to stay only moderately behind!

    Lead-in cartoon is the Jetsons. I'm listening from outside while charging my phone. Would be tempted to leave it charging through the film, but I just know I'd forget it.

  7. SPHERE

    ...the setup was promising, but the cast kept making bigger and bigger leaps of logic to deduce what the writers needed them to, and ended up with a moral that didn't really follow from the setup.

    Genuinely curious if a lot of it was filmed with a different/no conclusion in mind, and they had to scramble for the ending.

    Pretty sure it's a Bechdel fail? A couple of women techs on the sub might have talked to each other about procedure before they got killed off, but I wouldn't swear to it.

  10. Surprise 3 was slated for 8:35.

    Trailers for Circle, Pi, Cube 2...oh no, are they subjecting us to more of the Cube Cinematic Universe?

  14. Welp, that was unpleasant. In a self-satisfied "look at how unpleasant we can make this, nyah" kind of way. (Bechdel fail, not surprising.)

    It took place in the post-apocalyptic desert wastes of 2024, so I guess it was obligatory this year.

  18. ...first we got a long talky pitch for a series called The Starlost, and now they're playing us chunks of an episode? Think Four-era Who, that's the level of the special effects.

    Didn't see enough to care, and it sounds like they never got to "the good stuff" anyway.

  22. A Girl And Her Cow lost me partway through. Their sidekick was a talking magical roll of toilet paper, that's the level of kiddie/lol random humor we were on.

    Cow was a boy, too, in spite of all the times they said "milk cow", so I'm guessing we didn't make Bechdel :(

    A Boy And His Dog was scheduled for 6:45, and we're doing critter-related commercials already.

  26. Milk-related commercials + "The Sunshine Makers" cartoon leading in to Satellite Girl and Milk Cow (anime, scheduled to start at 5).

    Will be watching for team-up potential with Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

  30. Good movie, still good!

    Solid Bechdel pass, even with a male hero + villain and a strong throughline about their relationship, by having a range of women in the supporting cast who got to talk about their feelings/backstories/careers with each other sometimes.

    Give us a sequel, Marvel. Give us more Katy. Let her and Shang take all the Avengers out for karaoke. We deserve it.

  34. The Marvel intro started playing, and I thought for SURE those previews added up to a Captain America! But it's Shang-Chi.

    (...Ohhh because it was a song about 3 rings. I get it now.)

    Not mad. I'm down to watch Shang-Chi again.

  42. Minor snafu with Interstellar, they had a reel out-of-order and mislabeled. (It's such a deliberately weird movie, I'm sort of impressed they noticed.)

    Sounds like it's back up now!

  46. Lights were only up for like a minute before they launched into the pre-Interstellar bonuses. (Supposed to start at 11:25.)

    I've seen it, wasn't enthused enough to see it again, so I'm breaking for internet and pizza.

    Popular enough to have a crowd of comments arguing "well it SHOULD pass the Bechdel test because the female characters were good and important." Not what the test measures, people! (It passes because reportedly 2 of them talk about work for a couple minutes.)

    Our cartoon was Steamboat Willie. Anything to do with the movie? Or they just wanted to throw it in somewhere for New Public Domain Year?

  50. Watched the Stooges get stooged from Ithaca to Ithaca. Fell asleep while they were fighting the Cyclops, but I assume they got back.

    (Cartoon was Popeye vs Hercules, which had pretty much the same energy, just more spinach.)

    The Bechdel Test database keeps not having these, but I'm not optimistic. Closest we got was when some Greek court ladies *thought* the Stooges were the "new slave girls", and ordered them around a bit.

  54. All right, favorite thing about that one was the colors. A lot of B&W movies get cheap recolor jobs that just look gimmicky, but this one was art.

    Watched until the panicking kid who knew about the danger found some adults who believed him, and started helping and supporting him instead of brushing him off. I hope they sorted out the whole invasion thing too.

    Kinda interested in this one, but more interested in the upcoming Stooges, so.
