    I've seen some concept art for it. Looks amazing. Apparently we are getting our first teaser trailer at D23. I'm also pumped for Thor 3. Looks like it will be the best one of the bunch.

    The cast list for Black Panther is very solid

    And agreed on Thor 3. These Marvel films seem to be much better when you have multiple heroes.

    Pretty sure that's what they are going for now after they have an introduction movie for a character. Also makes sense in terms of the Hulk since they don't fully outright own his movie rights. Universal Studios still has a stake in any kind of solo Hulk movie so we will never get one of those again. He's just going to keep showing up in Avengers and other movies from time to time.

    It's a mediocre film. It looks great. But the overuse of Bullet Time took me out of the action and it seemed rushed and left too many things I didn't like. Also the Born Sexy Yesterday trope seemed really ****ty. I get the not knowing how certain things work. But there's so much more she should have known.
    There's an old Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movie entitled Tarzan's New York Adventure and there were a couple of interludes in Wonder Woman that reminded me of that film. The "duck out of water" works well until it is overused.

    And I mean there's a good way to do the whole thing. Like how Marvel did Captain America. Sometimes being confused or excited about modern things but still being very wise.

    The Mummy was decent enough for a summer blockbuster.

    Spiderman Homecoming is great. Will have to see if it stands up to a second viewing but early impressions from me are it's one of the best superhero films. Up there with Avengers, Iron Man, and Winter Soldier.

    And no lines about great power and great responsibility being thrown at us for the 3rd time. Instead it took a slightly different approach to the growth of Spiderman. Also the shocking cameos. So many good ones.

    And for my money Michael Keaton is the second best MCU villain after Loki.

    Was it at least fairly accurate historically speaking?

    Actually it was.


    Always wondered what would had happened if the Germans had advanced on dunkirk. They would had destroyed the 400,000 allied soldiers there. Would the British army been able to recover? Would the British had retreated to Canada as the plan? If hitler used all his might on the east since the west was destroyed would he had taken Russia?

    Along with The Thin Red Line, one of the best narratives on the horrors of war I have seen on the screen. Nolan did a nice job. I could toss a couple of spoilers out there on the storytelling, but I'll let viewers figure them out for themselves. Just a very good movie. I can see Best Picture and Best Director Oscar noms, but it should clean up in the technically-related categories. Sounds, cinematography, and editing are all just superb.

    Speaking of Malick, the only film I've seen over the past two months was a seventh or eighth re-watch of Days of Heaven. It's still magnificent.

    I have the Criterion edition of A New World, and I'm going to try to squeeze in a viewing before I make my move to Montana.

    You watch Band of Brothers or The Pacific? BOB is as good as anything on film.

    You know every "history person" has his/her era/country, etc. right? Mine is and always has been Germany and the 1930s into WWII. Had it not been for the evacuation the British and French were toast, regardless of their numbers. If Hitler had allowed the Panzers to attack the British and French were toast, though admittedly there would have been some pretty good casualties. Whatever else happened this should have been the sign for Hitler that Goering was just a BIG bag of hot morphine laced air who couldn't be counted on to fulfill his grand claims or delusions of grandeur.

    Malick does such awesome work with the camera. Like you say, Days of Heaven is just beautiful visually without overwhelming the story.
