Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok
American Violence. 2017.
Considered a hot mess. Pretty much a hot mess. I seemed to enjoy it more than most reviews that I found after. Not sure why I even watched it. Looked for a movie last night for an hour and settled on this one. It's really two stories. One is about the death penalty and one is about the life of crime of a criminal in flashback who's on death row. Should they really kill him? And who, what kind of people, prefer the death penalty to others.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok
Recently watched or rewatched:
Face Off! So terrible it's fun. Cage is great, Travolta is terrible.
American Hustle - reminded me a bit of Carlito's Way and Donnie Basco. Bale, Adams, Renner, Lawrence and Cooper are all fantastic. DeNiro was excellent in his cameo looking much like Santo Trafficante.
Kill The Messenger - Jeremy Renner and Ray Liotta (in a smaller role)...story of Gary Webb uncovering and writing on the story of the drug money that fueled the Contra war and the cia's complicity in it. I'm going to read the book for more details as I'm not terribly familiar with the story except what I just watched. Great movie and incredibly sad as to what happens to the protagonist.
Sounds to me like Gary Webb and Robert Parry were cut from the same cloth.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok
Face Off is great popcorn IMO. It's Travolta and Cage at their Travolta-est and Cage-est ever. Plus, Gina Gershon was still smokin' then.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok
Dumb question of the day:
If I wanted to see Black Panther, is it a stand-alone movie, like the Wonder Woman? Being serious. If I have to tie it into anything to "get it" I am not interested.Never really developed a taste for tequila.

Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok
I believe it's more stand alone.
To Marvels credit, they've done a good job of making the universe of films able to mostly stand on their own, even the sequels.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok
Yeah, this is one of those movies where it'd add to the experience having seen the other Marvel movies, but you're not going to be lost with regards to the setup coming in fresh. Very short setup, if you're interested, and this would only really help on noticing some mostly minor details:Originally posted by aparch View Post
During Capt. America Civil War, the entire setup for the Black Panther's part is as follows: Black Panther's dad dies in a bombing at an international conference. Black Panther was there, but failed to save him. Everybody but one or two people blamed Bucky, Cap's friend from his first movie that went missing, who became the Winter Soldier (90% of that movie's plot). By the end, Capt. America is able to get the Black Panther to allow Bucky into BP's country to receive treatment for having been brainwashed."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir
