belated summer movie post + some TV

[nagasasu]

A brief summary, since quite a bit of time has elapsed. :p

20 Feet From Stardom

• A documentary about back-up singers and how some have or have not chosen to pursue solo careers that I wholeheartedly recommend.
• Fans of Motown will definitely like this, there's quite a bit of time dedicated to Darlene Love.  (Here is a seasonally appropriate song by

I also had a lot of shipping feels about Cairo Time, and...actually I did write a fic about it, Fidelity, if that will scratch your itch.

And I totally agree that Bandidas needs more femmeslash, though sadly I haven't written anything for that one. (And wtf was up with the white dude? And the scene where they tie him to the bed and try to sexually assault him into helping them or telling them things or I don't even remember what they were trying to do? Why was he even in the movie, every scene he was in just made everything worse.)

[nagasasu]

Eeee, just read it, thank you! I like it~

Omg yes, the white dude was so out there. The movie didn't even need him!

Now You See Me: I enjoyed it a lot. Fluffalo love! <3

Love Songs: It had its good points (poly love, m/m), but I'm not big on musicals.

Angels of Sex: I didn't realise what you meant at first, because I know it as El Sexo de los Angeles and I saw it Spanish. Much, much love! I could have done with less poly angst, though, so Savages remains my favourite movie representation of polyamory even though the movie is very violent.
And I now realise we've had this conversation before on my post about Dieta Mediterránea and that's even when you recced me The Inheritance Trilogy. Fun times! :-)

[nagasasu]

I'm actually not a Huge Mark Ruffalo fan, but I enjoyed him in this. :)

Oh I didn't know you're not a musical fan. I like musicals so I thought that would help me like it, but it didn't.

Yeah, the title changed in translation as I searched for it on Netflix. Yeah, the angst was a bit much; I like all of the fluff, so that would've been nice. I've been hesitant to read/see Savages since I kinda heard how it ended (also, American movies are really... weird about anything to do with Mexico right now).

And yes this conversation was on your post! I would've mentioned that, but I didn't want LJ to ping you for that since I really didn't say very much about the movie at all. XD

I probably wouldn't rewatch Savages, though I rewatch the trailer from time to time, since the beginning shows the poly harmony quite well.

I have the ping function off, since I find it a bit stalkery.

What are your frustrations about shipping? I can't comment on any of those since I haven't watched any of them, unfortunately. I might do so later.

I'm not sure how to explain without Spoilers. :x
