What Movie Are You Watching?

Was something new brought to the table or the same old story with new curtains?

I’ll say yes, because it’s a younger Batman who’s character is barely discernible from Bruce Wayne. I’m assuming he didn’t see the need yet to put on a fake personality as Wayne.

But, I’ve a feeling we’ll disagree.

Have you read the “Batman: Year One” comic mini series? If so, did you think it was based on that?I read it many years ago, and might even have them around somewhere still…

It's certainly a new take for the character on film. Batman has been in comics for over 80 years, and while there's been a number of different spins (not including Elseworld type alternate universes ...) there's some basic Batman-isms that are always going to be present. If you're watching a new Batman movie hoping it will be revealed he's an alien from the 8th dimension, you're probably going to be disappointed

Oh definitely, and if you like Batman / comics, that's almost required reading (along with The Dark Knight, The Killing Joke, The Long Halloween, A Death in the Family, Hush, Batman: Year 2 ...)

The movie takes place in "Year 2" (like it's literally spelled out right on screen), but the vibe is way more the Year 1 comic.

I read that many years ago also, and it was my assumption, but it’s safe to say I haven’t read the majority of his comic book stories so not certain. I don’t remember his Bruce Wayne in the comic not giving a shit about appearances.

Now why would you say that… just because Spiderman SUCKS!!

Shows what I know, I thought Bruce Wayne was the real person.

Tonight going to watch Charlie Wilson's War, started it once but forgot to return to it promptly, and its exhibition window meanwhile closed on whatever platform I was subscribing to at that time. Anyway tonight I'm watching it before a promo sub winds up.

Then during May I know I'm going to check out some of these on Film Movement's platform. I tend to like Iranian film offerings, so likely to find one among those named below that will appeal to me.

Ant Man (2015)- Creative Marvel entrée, unique concept, entertaining, the small perspective is well done, visually exciting, satisfying story and outstanding cast.

Saw Dr Strange 2 in IMAX. Not a top ten MCU film but worth a watch I’d say.

​

Ant Man 2 (2018)- Worthy sequel, for Avenger reference, ends with The Blip, which is interesting that this world shaping event is going on Africa and it’s completely off the radar in North America. Ant Man 3? Feb 2023.

Bought my tickets for Top Gun: Maverick today.

At the AMC Imax at Easton in Columbus. Yes, I am going to drive 2.5 hours to see a movie.

Can't wait. I will be our first movie in a theater since The Rise of Skywalker on Christmas Day, 2019.

Holy smokes, IMAX will be epic.

Watching this with headphones is incredible.

I don't think I've ever really paid attention to audio, until this movie.

Oh shit, is it available to rent? Checking ...

Rent?

Not yet I believe. But I believe it is available.

I did pre order it though. I get that June 7th.

 

[DT]

Gotcha.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022), Disney+. Probably more for nostalgic old farts rather than for actual kids — “It's not a reboot. It's a comeback.”

Lots of nostalgia, cameos, references and easter eggs. While the reviews I’ve seen have been … slightly skeptical, I on the other hand enjoyed watching the movie. Sure, things like the voice acting initially freaked me out too but I think it worked well in the context of the movie, wouldn’t want to change it.

Watching it in the middle of the night might have helped. Sometimes you gotta let the brain rest and just enjoy the show!

Ugly Sonic

(I didn't see the movie, just that clip, hahaha ...)

Just the teeth, eh, tip of the iceberg.

If you appreciated Ugly Sonic you probably would appreciate the rest of the movie as well.

There are some scenes that look Asgardian. I wonder if the place after exploding has been remade?
