    And I don’t even care about exclusivity. I don’t care that Apple and Amazon get Mulan. It’s the fact that I paid a premium to get early access for my girls because Disney+ states Mulan will not be available until December 4 unless you opt for that Premier Access. It’s still listed that way on Disney+. Well, I may not be the brightest bulb but I’m pretty sure it’s not December. I would have preferred to purchase it last week on iTunes for the rental price I paid on Disney+.

    I paid $30 for my girls to see it in HD on Disney+ and now I see I could have bought it for $30 on iTunes in 4K with extras and kept it indefinitely. I just cancelled my Disney+ yearly subscription which expires next month. I realized the Mandalorian is the only must-see thing on the channel and I found a site where I can view it for free. Disney got enough cash out of me for the one year subscription plus $30 for a movie I will no longer have access to.

    I got halfway through and started watching some random stuff on YouTube. I will try to finish it later for Charlize.

    This looks so damn cool!

    I think this could work. What would be awesome is introducing Idris Elba as 006, a former Royal Marine commando created by Fleming and mentioned in an old novel.

    For me its a nostalgia thing. Grew up watching the original series with my dad in the late 70’s. Hated the first movie, loved the second and third and the rest were until the reboot.

    You didn’t like the first Star Trek reboot? I thought it was great as a lifelong fan. I think he only did the first two.

    A little off topic but I think I just enjoyed this short better than the last SW movie.

    And this is all fine. Because the box office doesn’t define what a great movie is. Box office failure or not, Tenet will recoup more at home release. And it’s not like Nolan is going to get a smaller budget for his next film, everyone knows it was ballsy to release a big movie during COVID. And many of us greatly appreciate the studios risk and sacrifice. They could have said, we are going to delay so we can make more money later. Tenet is a gift right now so go see it in theaters!

    I went to Marine Boot Camp in 1989 and left convinced my mother never should have given birth to me. I was informed of this often. Swearing was SOP then. Beatings were not. Public beatings that is. We got pushed around a little outdoors but the rare beatings occurred in the shower room. That was usually reserved for sarcasm. If the DI detected a hint of sarcasm from one of us, we were ordered to report to the shower room. I went once but luckily the other guy screwed up worse than me and got the brunt of it. No punches, but we were thrown to the hard shower room floor repeatedly and snatched up by our belt and drug and flung around. For some reason I was good with this as I knew I deserved it. I lost my bearing. I paid for it and moved on. I’m sure there would be lawsuits if this occurred today.

    Agree, I was thinking Spider-Man. Can’t wait to see Marvel do Galactus, they really can’t screw it up based on what we’ve been given before.

    Also, I was like who the hell is Colin Trevorrow? I had to google this guy. Seems he only worked on the recent Jurassic World movies.

    Extending an olive branch - Its still not what I wanted and not the SW movie I would have made. As for the first one, I have a love/hate relationship with it. It felt like a reboot of the original instead of being its own thing. Still very slick. ROS was unwatchable to me. I haven’t researched this like I would have ten years ago but was there a different movie planned with another director until all the TLJ hate appeared everywhere? Because the last one felt like Abrams shot me in the knee, put a band-aid on it, injected me with morphine and then punched me in the face before walking off.

    RDJ’s full quote for context. And The Dark Knight was not a complicated movie to figure out. “My whole thing is that that I saw ‘The Dark Knight’. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and -script writing and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved ‘The Prestige’ but didn’t understand ‘The Dark Knight’. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it. This is so high brow and so f—king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? F-ck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from.”

    This was so disappointing to me because I have been a fan of RDJ since the 80’s and Iron Man was my most anticipated movie the year before release. Sometimes I assume people in my age bracket have more insight and maturity but he sounds like a spoiled teenager here. I’ll still watch him just as I will still watch Sean Penn in anything despite not being able to stand the man.

    I would have been good with it. People break character sometimes and do things we normally wouldn’t do in extreme situations. Regaining that “character” is another journey and story.

    I better expand upon my post above. TLJ is not the Star Wars movie I would have made. But it’s better than the other two. It had the balls to go out on its own and not pour itself into the mold.

    TLJ was the best out of the three. There I said it!

    That’s good but this is one of my favorite testosterone dripping scenes.

    I joined the Marines because of Aliens. I was disappointed.

    Abrams is totally overrated. He did do a great job rebooting Star Trek however. That’s pretty much it.

    I agree on Thor but Ragnarok was just a better movie overall. Thor having humor works there. Kids loved it. I thought the forced eye-rolling humor seemed annoying in the opening but I still ended up really enjoying the movie. The God of Thunder shouldn’t take himself too seriously. But that wouldn’t have worked in a movie more grounded in reality like The Dark Knight. I never thought that I wished I had a laugh or two after seeing it. Marvels PG-13 comedy works as a formula for the masses. Getting the most butts in the seats through the age groups. I really don’t want that for DC but dollars usually win out at the end of the day. Aquaman and Shazam looks like DC trying out Marvels formula to bring in better box office. Appeal to a wider audience. Maybe I’m wrong and I hope I am. I just prefer a more Nolanesque hero. Those days may be over and we’ll probably get more of this.
