    Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok

    Saw Justice League tonight which was a letdown. It was wooden and unemotional and the cinematography was bland. The action was sufficient and there was a decent enough plot, but the CGI was atrocious especially with respect to the antagonist and the cyborg. They really should have released an Aquaman movie (like they did with WW) first, but even that might not have been enough to make me care. Also Flash's mannerisms have already been more successfully portrayed by Marvel (think part Ant Man part Spider Man) Not sure why DC so rarely comes as close to matching the Marvel magic factor but after how wonderful WW was this was a disappointment.

        Obi Wan routinely uses "force crush" in the animated series as well. Considered to be something a Jedi would use almost never.

          Wasn't that done out of necessity (In essence defense)?

                    I've said the same thing. THe first time I watched it, I hated it and told my friends who forced me to watch it that they owed me two hours.

                    Every time I've seen it I laugh harder.

                        It might just be my Finnishness but Rare Exports is likely the greatest Christmas movie ever made. So glad to see it’s on Amazon Prime.

                            While it's not a comedy (unless perhaps in the archaic sense of the term) and doesn't get "funnier" with each viewing, there are two movies that I appreciate more and more every time I see them.

                            One is Stranger than Fiction. The way Emma Thompson's character starts out so composed, and subtly gets more and more bedraggled in appearance as the film progresses, is a wonderful touch, and the way the relationship between Will Farrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal develops is so sweet....who ever would expect to see an IRS auditor be such a charming protagonist in a movie!

                            The other of course is Groundhog Day. There are so many details that each are a stroke of genius.....The International Journal of Psychology even published a scholarly article on the brilliant insights into human nature explicated in that movie, it was so very well done. (link lost forever now that IJP is under new management, everything is in German now).

                              Milestone alert: Sometime on Saturday in its 23rd day of release Justice League will make what Avengers made in its opening weekend. The movie has proved so successful the head of the studio has been "reassigned," the comic division has lost its autonomy and will be folded into the WB umbrella and the entire DCEU might be rebooted. One of the reasons JL went ahead in November - even though many wanted to push it because the CGI and reshoots were rushed and the film wasn't ready for release - is because the CEO and other top executives were afraid they wouldn't be there after the proposed merger and wanted the box office to be included in their year-end bonuses now rather than next year when they wouldn't be around to collect them.

                              Quite a success story.
