That was Andrew Garfield right? He's no longer New Spiderman.  :lol:

Watched Season 3 of Better Call Saul. Excellent.

I highly recommend seeing Dunkirk on the big screen.  Its more about the experience than the story.

I concur, it was a great IMAX experience, easily the best of 2017 so far.

However, I am not sure I am comfortable with Nolan's artistic choices. [spoiler]I felt like in a war "horror movie", with the unseen Germans acting like an invisible slasher villain. We never see the enemy, except in the air with the (few) Luftwaffe piecemeal attempts to attack the ships and the beachhead. Even at the end, the Germans are blurry and faceless. They also go out of the way to mention they are Germans the least possible. Water was more of a threat to the British than the Germans ever were, even on the beach, which feels very odd.[/spoiler]

I agree, that was a bit off putting, but imo a fairly minor flaw.

Just watched about 2/3 of Hacksaw Ridge.  This is one of the weirdest movies I have seen in a long time.  It's stylized Christian pacifist propaganda.

New Spiderman plays a Seventh Day Adventist conscientious objector who enlists during WWII in the hopes of serving as a medic, over the objections of his father Agent Smith, who served in WWI and is haunted by his experience (which is the reason he beats his wife).

New Spiderman shows up at basic training and is greated by Vince Vaughn doing Trent from Swingers doing Gunnery Sargent Hartman.  He gets yelled at.  He gets punished with KP duty.  He gets beat up.  He gets court martialed.

Eventually he ends up on Okinawa, where he and the boys climb a rope net up a cliff.  Then John Woo explosions and gymnastics are combined with Saving Private Ryan chunks of meat and Guadalcanal Diary choreography.  After they blow up the bunker they charge the Japs and get into a big fist fight.  At the bar fight i said I can't watch this anymore.

You got further than I did.  I turned it off before he even got close to going to war.

Religion is a sensitive subject.  I think I got it.  A long time ago. ;)
