  - Quite sure she's some kinda Ayn Rand-disciple. These people have divergent brains. The right-wing kind. They're the same everywhere you go. -- nm - Facto Sep 20, 10:20
- i hoped for a second it was satire.. but noooo - colin Sep 19, 08:59

I saw a Rambo: Last Blood ad and just came away feeling bad for Sly. -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 08:28 3
- Eff him. - Marlowe Sep 19, 09:11
- It looks like he just adapted Rocky to Rambo. As far as tone/message goes, I can't imagine it's worse than Death Wish (2018) -- nm - Max Sep 19, 08:32 1
  - I heard that was awful. -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 08:33
Reminder: Between Two Ferns: The Movie - tomorrow on netflix -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 08:26
History will teach us nothing. - Spawn Sep 19, 08:24 34
- You are wrong again of course. And LIR, it's more household drama and soap opera than history lesson. - Diva Sep 19, 08:32 33
  - 1917 is my most anticipated of the year -- nm - JackDawson Sep 19, 09:17
  - Also - Spawn Sep 19, 09:11 8
    - using irony in an elegant way he's saying history can teach us a lot. -- nm - mud Sep 19, 09:13 7
      - spoiler - Spawn Sep 19, 09:15 5

        spoiler - mud Sep 19, 09:59
      - Exactly. -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 09:14
  - Historical pieces in general. Unless it is in regards to something major, but I am not really a fan of war movies. Cumberbatch raises my interest. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 08:35 22
    - I'm sure you watched "Captain America: The First Avenger". (NM) - Marlowe Sep 19, 08:47 10
      - And as ST might remember it was by far my least favorite of the Marvel movies. I did not rewatch it until a year or so ago, with Logan. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 08:49 9
        
        I can't say I remembered that. - Marlowe Sep 19, 08:52 3
        
        My lifetime helps. So lets say, 1950s is usually off limits. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 08:54 2
        
        But greatness in a moment can transcend that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 08:56 1
        
        Of course! (NM) - Marlowe Sep 19, 08:59
        
        I still havent seen it and I LOVE HISTORY! ..(and Marvel) -- nm* - mud Sep 19, 08:51 4
        
        it is great. -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 08:52 3
        
        When viewed as a part of the complete Cap story arch it really is. When I watched it with Logan I liked it a lot more as I had seen where Cap went. - Spawn Sep 19, 08:55 2
        
        I guess I'd better see it, especially with the last (timewarped) season of SHIELD coming. -- nm - mud Sep 19, 08:57 1
        
        You kinda must. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 09:02
    - I'm sure you enjoyed The Imitation Game & Dunkirk -- nm - mud Sep 19, 08:38 8
      - yes & did not see -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 08:40 7
        
        Dunkirk is a masterpiece, but kind of how 2001 is a masterpiece.. little dialog, lots of slow moments. -- nm - colin Sep 19, 09:02 6
        
        If I had had the AMC movie pass I am sure I would have. It is the kind of movie I will probably watch at home and at least appreciate. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 09:04 5
        
        yeah, it's nice... you kind of have to be in a certain mood to take it on, but it's definitely worth seeing. -- nm - colin Sep 19, 09:09 2
        
        It's Nolan. Q.E.D. -- nm - mud Sep 19, 09:17 1
        
        ida know, Batman movies, Inception are pretty easy watches. -- nm - colin Sep 19, 09:22
        
        You kinda must. -- nm - mud Sep 19, 09:05 1
        
        A see a deal in our futu... in our now. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 09:09
    - Benefit Lumberjacks is good in everything -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 08:36 1
