Blue Is The Warmest Color was really male-gaze-y for a movie about queer women and class consciousness. I really wanted to like it, but instead I actually found myself getting really upset with the director. I loved the graphic novel, and while it's technically quite an excellent film, I definitely liked it way less than the novel. I'll spare you all my Opinions About Kechiche because that's not super relevant, but if you're thinking about seeing this maybe borrow/buy the novel instead, because it's really fucking good.
I also went and saw the new Hobbit movie with a couple of friends, and I thought it was pretty good. It felt way more cohesive than the first one did, and I'm actually kind of excited to see what the third one brings, definitely more than I was after Unexpected Journey. I think OHP has some good points about it too, but I don't think the bits with Gandalf were as pointless as he does.
