Yup. It's pretty awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently Viola Davis has been cast as Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad. If we have to have a thin Wall, she's one of the best choices, IMO.
I think I'll always love her for the scene in How To Get Away With Murder where she takes off her makeup and false lashes and her wig and just regards herself in the mirror. She can go glam and not--I hope some boundaries are wobbled a little.

So, Exodus: Gods and Kings - I have to say, I'm not sure what Ridley Scott had in mind. I feel like no one ever decided what kind of movie this was supposed to be. And I sat through all the credits particularly to see the "No animals were harmed" thingy and there wasn't one.
As we were leaving the two white-haired ladies behind me who also stayed through the credits said they should have cast people who looked like Egyptians, so if that's the target audience: still missing the mark.

I read that Christian Bale called his skin colour a burden when people complained about the casting (Idris Elba may have been mentioned...).

Yeah, he's been one of the worst cases of celebrity disillusionment for me. The realization that, say, Mel Gibson or Mark Wahlburg is someone I wouldn't want to know in real life didn't come with much trauma.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Of those three Mel Gibson was the hardest fall for me. I had quite the crush on him back in the Galipoli/Year of Living Dangerously days. And now ::shudder::

Me too. And I can almost watch the Mad Max movies in a bubble, but I don't have to!
FURY ROAD.
Luckily he lost me as a fan with Lethal Weapon II, and I never liked Martin Sheen ever (it was Emilio I preferred).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yes. Watching the Year of Living Dangerously, I got The Feelings for the first time in my life!
