Aquaman looks good. I'm afraid I haven't seen much DC lately, aside from Wonderwoman. Do we know who the woman with the extraordinarily red hair is in the trailer? [link]
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

That's Mera, who plays the same role as Trinity in the Matrix, i.e. the more skilled and powerful female character who trains the protagonist, and is written out of the third act.

That trailer had a lot less shirtless and/or wet Jason Momoa than I have come to expect.

DH said the first half of Aquaman was a slog but it was enjoyable overall. (I keep seeing blurbs like "Best DC movie since Wonder Woman!" and wondering if those critics remember just how low that bar is.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What DC movies have come out since Wonder Woman? Anything besides Justice League?

*sigh* OK, thanks. I guess I can look forward to her for two acts and Momoa for the whole.

Oral History of the Making of Working Girl
Fun read with lots of fun juicy tidbits, anchored by collective affection of everyone involved for the great Mike Nichols. Gosh, this takes me back. I loved the film when it came out, but haven't thought about it in years and years. Annnnd now I have "Let the River Run" stuck in my head.

So, Aquaman was a lot of fun. I'm not sure it's good, but it fully commits to its premise, and for that I give it a lot of credit. The underwater scenes are BONKERS in the best way. Jason Momoa is well-cast.
I would recommend seeing it in 2-D IMAX if you can, because it's pretty spectacular visually, and the soundtrack is very loud and boomy with a lot of seat-vibrating bass.
There is a post-credits thing but it's not really worth sticking around for.
