I'd like American movies to be more representative. Representation is kind of our 'thing', we fought the British over it. Casting directors have made some huge mistakes in the last 15 years that have gently reinforced negative views. (Last Airbender was a big one, anything else come to mind?)

Ah HA! The cat's out of the bag now Vishnevetsky! You're just a shill for Big Time-that-you-have-in-a-day!

Never get into a frothing rage over a trailer.

That first paragraph was hilarious.

If you have an extra $10 and a theater close to you, go for it. Better if you have a close theater and can swing some sort of discount pricing.

That was a cool scene. The sketchy mechanics of 'brain in a shell' and how that could work were laid out without a sloppy info dump.

Like… deaths head Stetson and his gang are trying to clear the docks so a submarine full of Nazis can get to Buenos Aires and the only guy that stands in their way is a decent customs officer that is being courted by a sexy OSS agent that is trying to save her job, because 'now that the war is over, we're going to…

There's less CGI and no one falls?

Some people will balk at Johannsen being in this movie. I'm ok with it. She did fine with what she had and brought a phycichality to the character that helped the narrative. If you read the review again just blank 'perfectly cast' and replace it with 'not miscast'.

It's perfunctory and moves things along.

So is this movie a 'ninja' or a 'nonja'?

More of that would have been cool, there's a whiff of it at the end, but just a whiff.

No, sorry. Their little shorts were a great part of SAC.

It's a simplified 'remix' of the Puppet Master.

This is better than JA.

Guess what, it's fine. It looks cool, cool stuff happens, it's fine. It's not very innovative in the way that John Wick 2 was… the whitewashing is brought up as a plot point and it touches on bits of lore you'd expect from a story about cybernetics. It's not essential but it's not insulting. I was a bit let down by…

Umm… yeah, that guy was a dick… but, uh… lookimjustgoingtosayit: a totenkopf pin on a Stetson would be a fun look for a villain in some hyper revisionist western.

We'll see… on the other hand, 'genre movie is generic' isn't a problem for me.

For further reading on this subject, there's a great New Yorker article about the writing credit drama surrounding the 2003 Hulk.

I keep hearing good shit about Nollywood and their insane DIY deal. Good for them. The odds of me sitting down to watch one of those movies on my own is very low. So… what I'm trying to say is: I hate Nigerians.
