Re: Movies
Just realized that between this and Winterfell, this could a rough weekend for beloved on screen characters we’ve spent the better part of a decade with...

What I would most hope is if Carol Danvers, Black Panther, Valkyrie, and Kamla Khan are the ones who take down Thanos.
Because remember how much those shitbag cons were up in arms when the latest Star Wars has the temerity of having strong female characters? Imagine those fucking snowflakes heads exploding if the MCU came down to a woman, a black guy, an LGBT woman, and an Indian Muslim woman. Those would be tasty fucking tears.

I'm sticking with my long ago prediction that Captain America wields Thor's hammer (OK, axe now, but when I made the prediction he didn't have an axe) to take him out (probably aiming at the head).
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Friday 3pm for me. I cannot wait.tennbengal wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 10:37 am Endgame at 97% fresh. So, that's pretty good.
I am seeing it tomorrow night at 6:00 pm with Q, so should be able to get to it spoiler free.
I am excited for it.
I plan on not drinking anything during the day so I can avoid having to go to the bathroom. If anyone has no such luck with that there are these articles about when to go...they say no spoilers but click at your own risk:

Re: Movies
At first I was annoyed with all the pop culture stuff dominating headlines that is firmly in my blind spot, but now I'm kinda jealous. How fast can I binge GoT and all the Avengers movies?
well this is gonna be someone's new signature - bronto

Re: Movies
GOT is about 65-70 hours. Avengers/MCU probably 45 or so? Just the Avengers you could watch in eight hours I suppose.

Re: Movies
Decided work could suck it today and played hooky and went to watch Apollo 11 and it was incredible. Probably too late at this point, but if you can catch it on the big screen, do it. Pretty gobsmacking all of the new footage they have.

CNN just announced it will be airing this on June 23 (they were a co-producer). Don't miss it. Watch on the biggest TV possible and turn up the sound.

Re: Movies
Some thoughts on Endgame...
And at a risk of getting sappy over a bunch of comic book movies... My boys are 7 and 10. They have grown up with the MCU and the Avengers. My youngest, especially, would run around the house from the age of 2 and pretend to be Iron Man, making noises as he shot with his hands. We've watched these movies so many times as a family movie night, or just because they happened to be on somewhere on a weekend afternoon. We've always had something to look forward to in the next movie. The next character oriented movie (Dr Strange, Black Panther, etc) or something teased in the closing credits. And this chapter is closed now. And as the kids are getting a little older and their tastes are changing, it's kind of reflected by this. Heck, just last week my youngest declared himself too old for his superhero bed sheets.
I know there are going to be more Marvel movies, and in 10 years they are probably going to do something dumb and do a reboot on the whole thing. But it won't be the same.
As much as I enjoyed Endgame, there was a little part of me that was sad.

Re: Movies
I finally watched for the first time The Verdict last night, a hole in my courtroom drama movie experience. Very good acting all around, especially Paul Newman and James Mason, and definitely worth a watch. Couple of thoughts:
1. Charlotte Rampling was a looker back in the day. (I never saw The Night Porter, so I can't speak her art-house career).
2. If you keep your eyes peeled, a very young Bruce Willis circa 1982 is in the audience during Paul Newman's character's closing argument. Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) is seated to his left.
3. If you or your kids are thinking of becoming lawyers, know that there are quite a few things that would get your ass disbarred that they did in that movie. Including not communicating offers to your client, or directly contacting the opposing party when you are aware they are represented by counsel, and... trying to remember... oh yeah, planting a mole in your adversary's office.
It's funny that through all these years of depicting attorneys in media, the two most accurate fictional representations in terms of the actual law are My Cousin Vinny and the second verse of 99 Problems.

Re: Movies
I had two large beers - One right before and then grabbed one when they were doing all the "let's justify this bullshit with a bunch of science-y talk and faux lab work" scenes. It was PERFECT!
The time that I had read to go was not a very good option, IMO, unless you are one of the hipsters at there that "doesn't care about X character." Scene was pretty emotional, but I like that character a lot, so...
