TV/Movies Megathread

OK, howl away then.

How about creating a nationalistic myth based on hate and lies that has real world implications? Is that worth howling about?

You mean like Gone with the Wind?

[viper37]

I don't know how I can appropriately vocalize how much I hate that film.

I think I have some kind of picture emerging in my head
You hate it because of your anti-nationalist sentiment, I get it.  But it ain't garbage, we'll just have to disagree on that.

[viper37]

Hush? Because that's an actual plot line from the comic books

ok, so I'm not much for accurately following books

[viper37]

It's pure fantasy.

pure fantasy set in a historical period, then.

I never said it was historicaly accurate.  I said it was a good movie.

[Berkut]

I guess I just never considered it a historical movie at all, and hence never really got worked up over the history of it - which I get is probably more important to people who have some connection to the actual history. The historical figures were obviously not meant to reflect actual historical figures except to give a framework to the story.

For me, it was like watching a movie set in ancient China or Japan. The historicity simply isn't the point, I never even thought for a second about whether or not Scots would or would not use blue war paint. It did not even register as a thing to care about one way or the other.

And I get that I am probably a bit hypocritical about this, since stuff that I do see as trying to be historical - like Pearl Harbor - I get pretty howling mad about when they just butcher it.

Latest trailer is out for Star Wars. I'd forgotten the movie was even coming out.

The trailer was sorta terrible. This latest trilogy really didn't need to exist.

For season 3 of The Crown they replaced the hottie Claire Foy with that dumpy chick from Broadchurch.

Yeah, I don't think I ever felt this little watching a Star Wars trailer. Looks boring.

[Josquius]

Predestination - advertised as some sort of cool time cop sort of thing. It's... Weird. OK. But weird.

[Syt]

Well, I bought my ticket for the Star Wars thing. *shrug*

[Sheilbh]

Yeah. I've enjoyed the new Star Wars quite a lot

Though, not as much as Rogue One which I loved.

[Syt]

Same here.

[celedhring]

The trailer looked pretty but failed to muster much excitement on me.

Still, will be there opening weekend.

[Tamas]

Horses!


Also Palpatine on a walker is kinda' lame.
