I watched Black Panther finally. I need to see the other movies everyone was in and also I want another Black Panther movie.
Poor Eric. He was the tragic figure in this. I also don't see how anyone could see this and come away thinking it's pro isolationism
The trailers before the movie were: Jurassic World 2: We Know Donsosaurs will kill us but let's debate thst and go back.
Mission Impossible: We Got (Most) of the Gang back. Also Tom Cruise can laugh at himself look at the plans gone wrong.
God is Not Dead 2: Even more Unrealistic Made up stuff we will pretend actually happens.
Rampage Mr The Rock and his gorilla friend battle GMO monsters
And Ready Player One. Where the Oasis looks a lot like Second Life and the place the dude lives in can be found in Second Life (mobile homes stacked on top of each other )
Also Ant Man and Wasp which needed more wasp actually fighting
I just saw A Wrinkle in Time with my mother, and we loved it! Man, it looked amazing.
Also, I was sitting next to a little kid who had every reaction you could hope for, including covering her eyes and saying "noooooo" every time Meg and Calvin got face-to-face, in case they were going to kiss. Hee.
I love the book of A Wrinkle in Time so much that it threw me how much the movie diverged from the book. Still, if I take the movie strictly on its own merits, I really liked it. So gorgeous. (Also, damn, Chris Pine is a fox.)
that it threw me how much the movie diverged from the book.
I loved the book, but because I recently re-read it, I realize I can't go see the movie. 1. The
"be a warrior" line from the trailer made me grump about nothing like that in the book,
and 2. something I learned from spoilers:
OMG WHAT NO AUNT BEAST?!
I know, I know, get over myself, take the movie as a completely separate thing. But that 2nd point is the big one for me.
It's much like how I know many people who loved the movie
Stardust,
but the points where it diverged from the novel just exasperated me. Plus, I know that the production would never be able to find any place that looked like Charles Vess' art for Faerie, but the locations they did use looked too much like the English countryside to me.
Oh yeah, I should have said: I'm sure I read the book as a kid, but have no attachment to it.
I saw Wrinkle in Time on Friday. It was good, and I enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away the way Black Panther or Shape of Water did. I think I would have loved it if I'd seen it when I was young.
This was a good one: there was a new quote added to Mrs. Who, which I won't spoil, but my mother leaned over to say, "I got that reference!" and I womanfully did not say, "OK, Steve Rogers," because she would NOT have gotten that reference.
