A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
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.
*sigh* OK, thanks. I guess I can look forward to her for two acts and Momoa for the whole.
I'm an Entourage fan...I've got to see it eventually, right?
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.
So MIB International looks like it'll be fun.
I'll be seeing Aquaman tonight. Looking forward to it! I hope we get a MIB International preview.
I watched "Desk Set" again today. I liked it a lot...always amazing when ideas connect across generations.
I watched "Desk Set" again today.
I love that movie so much.
So much more subtle(in a good way) than today's romcoms. Also, appreciate that nobody took a pratfall to show off their flaws.
Aquaman was about as cheesy as Clash of the Titans, but in the best possible way. It leaned WAY the hell in to the cheesiness, which was the best thing it could have done. Lots of fun.
