Yeah, Grissom is shown as a total twat in that movie, cowardly and profiteering, which is an all the more nasty move considering his horrible (and horribly ironical) death with White and Chaffee. I always assumed it was a hollywoodian need for a foil, a human character sacrifice to make the other astronauts look more…

You know what’s reasonable ? The greek neonazi party golden dawn (which had deputies at the parliament) has just been judged as a “criminal organisation”. That’s what.

And in voicing Burton’s Vincent. A really delicious hommage.

It’s a fun list of cameos.

I was rewatching bits of The Good Place the other day, trying to imagine William Jackson Harper as Marvel’s next Black Panther.

I don’t agree with what you say but I will click to the death your right to say it.

It’s called “The league of extraordinary gentlemen” and it didn’t translate very well to the big screen.

“The plan has been in action since they put us on the planet as cavemen”

Okay, one trope I get tired of : the out-of-sight-for-one-second-completely-gone vanishing trick. Looking all dignified and relaxed until the bus passes in front of you, and ridiculously trottling away on all fours to be hiding behind a dustbin when the bus has passed. OMG where is s/he, s/he is so strong and so good…

“You keep fighting me but has it ever occurred to you that you and me are exactly the same, Bruce James Luke Callahan Sherlock Indiana Spike Doctor ?”

Also “what if the batman superhero kid comics were actually an adult horror story” ?

that fucking Toto score are all excruciating

Heh. So, basically, it’s the social status that is “elevated”, so, I guess the word makes sense.

Or maybe slow it down or maybe insert coins when they die i don’t know that’s what makes our times so exciting i look forward to the covid being over so i can stop watching old movies over and over again.

It’s frustrating. I was very intrigued by The Batman. It’s the story of a rich heir who, in secrecy, wears a costume to fight criminals and psychos. Could be cool. A lot of things could happen. Maybe fights. Maybe reflections on how he’s as odd as the people he chases. Also, maybe an explanation through his childhood,…

Archaic and majestic ? You must be thinking of consanguine.

Excellent soundtrack, wonderful casting (Prochnov, McLachlan, Young, etc), haunting setpieces, slow pace and daring thoughts monologue (loved that), cool shield effects, great space gothic design, intimidating sandworms, and hot sand-colored sand, which we’ll apparently miss very soon, if we judge by the cold grey…

That may be it. I happen to like it a lot (apart from the ornithopter designs and the unavoidable fast-forward-wrap ending), but I had indeed read it before watching it.

It’s a two-parts movie, if I understood well. Does the delay mean that the two parts will have closer releases ?

So many years ago, our wonderful, embarrassed american anthropology professor was apologizing to us for a mere W. Bush, swearing that Bush didn’t represent all of the USA. It hurts to imagine how she feels now.
