I'm streaming Keeping up with the Joneses and the idea that Gal Gadot can somehow not be eye candy is retarded.

I'm not sure what you mean. Her character was recognized as being very hot.

Grey Fox

She on a Canadian daytime tv show recently that was on the kitchen tv at work.

Our collective penises(penii) still hurts for all the tenting that was done.

Does that make you an expert on language or on schlongs?  :hmm:

Dunkirk (2017)

Survival/War film

Always nice to watch a spectacular 70 mm movie, with mostly practical effects instead of a CGI-crapfest.
Nolan's actors are much better than in The Dark Knight Rises, always a plus.  :P

The ending is not as powerful IMO as the previous reference movie about the Battle though: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058740 Weekend at Dunkirk.
The latter is a French POV movie, while the former is an Anglo POV movie. I guess this helps explaining the little-seen French during the movie.

Try to catch it in 70 mm or IMAX if you can.

Oh are the French not in Dunkirk? That sucks.

Not very much according to the movie. There is one scene though, plus the end recap.

Well that makes me less excited about the film. But at least they got a mention.

Savonarola

The Big Sick (:x) (2017)

An enjoyable Rom-Com about a cross cultural couple; based on the real life courtship of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon.  Kumail Nanjiani plays himself in the movie (and Ray Romano plays Ray Romano, even if he's called something else.)

The female lead is played by Zoe Kazan.  "Kazan" isn't a common last name and, if there's one thing Hollywood loves even more than cocaine or Hillary Clinton, it's nepotism.  So I Googled her and, yes, she is the grand-daughter of the great Elia Kazan.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

That's rather disappointing, so instead of re-examining some of the mythology around the evacuation, he's chosen the easy path of building upon it?

What's the big 'undiscovered' truth in the movie, that the RAF actually did a lot of fighting in the skies above beaches?
