Also, “Cinefix” is dead. It becomes “IGN Movies and TV”.

Aaaand this is how you make me switch from sarcasm to absolute earnestness.

It’s not really my universe (I have much sympathy for it but never truly watched the show), still, I’m surprised Macnee and Rigg or Macnee and Blackman weren’t the first ones to pop in people’ mind.

Yes but Eddie Murphy was voiced by Eddie Murphy.

It’s called La casa de papel, it’s the only genuinely good thing I’ve watched since, dunno, Russian Doll I guess ?

I was reacting to NobodyHere’s general statement on movie lengths.

Woah, just looked it up. And woah. For real. :-|

If we go movie-wise, Peter Falk and Alan Arkin in “The In-Laws” are beating a very tough competition (Caine/Kingsley in “Without a Clue”, DeNiro/Grodin in “Midnight Run”, Eastwood/Wallach in “The good the...”, Laurel/Hardy in few films, Coburn/Steiger in “Giu la testa”, etc).

Perfect time for a Fu Manchu revival.

Once upon a time in America, for instance, is 220 minutes long, feels 11 minutes long, and I wouldn’t cut one second out of it.

So, do I get it right ? This is to the MCU movies what Magnum Force is to Dirty Harry ? “Hey come back, you people from the other aisle, we didn’t mean to offend you, we’re on your side too” ? Build-the-wall, freedom-fries edition ?

Hah. That’s fun. As a kid I had the whole pages of Henri Vernes’ “L’ennemi invisible” explaining how the distance between atoms is merely reduced, meaning there’s no gain or loss of force, mass, weight (at some point, the regular-sized hero is pinned down by a full-weight miniature man). Ant-Man tries to explain it…

I heard of that episode but didn’t watch it, so I may be wrong, but I assume the stretch isn’t as easy and capricious as Mr Fantastic’s “let’s grab that bulb over there”. And that makes a difference of degree.

Yes, I’d say the line would run between these two. Add the fact that Ant-Man doesn’t shrink by the pure willpower, but uses a suit. It’s pretty limited. And it implies (even though there’s a lot of inconsistencies on that) some mass conservation.

It genuinely gives me an impression of “oh no we’ve alienated the magas by casting a woman in that movie, let’s throw them a bone by making the villains some anti-mexican-wall extremists”. We’ll see how the protect-our-flags-and-borders message goes in the series, but let’s say the worse would be quite in line with my…

Where’s tweeterdelete.net ?

For me, Sandman’s issue is also that it stands behind the line of “somewhat physically thinkable” character. It’s a very arbitrary line, but I can more easily suspend disbelief in front of chemical supersoldiers, alien gods and spider hybrids jumping around, firing lasers through their eyes, headbutting locomotives…
