I find my reaction to Depp in anything these days is HELL NO. He's threatening to replace Nicholas Cage as my leading indicator of movies to avoid.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
...the fact that Johnny Depp appears onscreen and yet is not shown wearing a silly hat...it's just a lot to take in...
Just for the perfection of the quote.
There are quite a lot of mustaches in that trailer ... but I'm quite fond of David Suchet's Poirot - he always struck me as about perfect in the role.
Always loved Suchet. Also, I think his moustache is more Poirot-accurate. He's so...Particular. The moustache on Branagh would annoy him with its crazy over-the-top-ness, it looks like it's about to take his mouth hostage.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Dana, I was thinking the same thing about the spoilers. And as a bonus, everybody gets to stab Johnny Depp.
Branagh is the wrong guy to play Poirot. I liked him in Wallander, but that's a very different type of detective. I'd have him in Sean Connery's part in the original, but it looks like that's Dafoe's character, and I can't see him as Poirot, either.
I don't get them remaking it, either. Yes, it's been 40 years, but the new one seems awfully reminiscent of the old one with the all-star cast and lavish production values. You know, unless they totally change the motive, murderer, and ending, and maybe toss in a sword fight on top of the train.

I went to the first available showing of Wonder Woman last night. The curse of DCEU suckitude is broken at last! Not perfect, but a good enjoyable movie that remembered there are things like humor, friendship, gratitude, and color saturation!

I am no fan of the superhero genre in general, especially in recent incarnations (too bloated, too much CGI), but I thoroughly enjoyed Wonder Woman. Very refreshing in its earnestness. It reminded me of the first CAPTAIN AMERICA (one of my favorites in the MCU).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wonder Woman was so much fun! We saw it with an appreciative audience of like-minded geeks*, and we clapped at the end. I found it very cathartic in the reversal of many superhero tropes, and dig the multi-culti not!Howling Commandos. They even had an actual Native American playing the Native American (okay, looked him up, and he is Kainai First Nations from Alberta)! What a concept.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I cried at least twice during Wonder Woman, because I was so damn happy to finally SEE this story on the big screen. I cried during the Amazon fight on the beach, because they were so amazing, and I cried the first time Diana ran into battle across No Man's Land (I see what you did there, movie), because she was EVERYTHING I had hoped for.
Chris Pine is damn good-looking. t /shallow

I saw Wonder Woman this morning. It was everything I'd hoped for and more.

The review on Smart Bitches Trashy Books commented that if you were wondering how much male nudity a movie could contain and still get a PG-13 rating, this will show you.
