I've heard so much about his performance in Moon, which is now on Netflix. Can't wait to see that and Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Nice little post-basketball career.
So happy for him!
Very happy for Guillermo del Toro!

I think I'm gonna give Pan's Labyrinth another viewing this coming weekend.
Had a friend of a friend post on facebook that they watched the 5 animated shorts that were nominated and actually thought Dear Basketball was the worst of the group. Now I don't know how much of that was due to said person not being much of a sports fan or what. I know the film was based on the letter Kobe wrote in the Players' Tribune announcing his retirement.

Based on the box office numbers, it seems there are many Marvel fans out there! I'm waiting for the theaters to calm down a bit before I go see it.
I did, however, get to see Wes Anderson's latest Isle of Dogs a few weekends back. As with most of his films, I very much enjoyed it, though comparatively speaking I think I preferred Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Another movie I took in was A Quiet Place. While I do understand the excitement it received, it would have fell flat without the story arc of the deaf daughter.
Marvel is crushing it on the movie side. By nature, they will always be compared to DC, and it's not even close. This kills me because I think DC characters are way better, but what they're doing with the movies is just depressing.
You can tell that marvel is executing a well thought out, long term plan; as opposed to "lets make man of steel, now lets go back and make man of steel the foundation of our universe." Its being proven right now that you can't do that. I have literally never seen a movie in the Avengers family that I don't like. Some are certainly better than others, but all seem to be better than the DC Justice League universe, which pretty much only has Wonder Woman's movie as anything remotely positive.
Genuinely asking, was this not apparent right off the bat in the opening scene on the bridge?
I appreciate you candor! Ha, I was concerned I would be coming across as a jerk once I submitted my reply. And indeed, the baddie was rather intimidating. With my startle response as sensitive as it is, I would probably last about 1.5 seconds in that world.
I read a sequel is in the works, which is interesting to say the least.
Disney casts a wide net these days, so I'm not even sure if these fall under their umbrella, but I'll guess either Watchmen or Hellboy.
Oh I loved those also, but nope. I think I saw somewhere that there is a new Hellboy in the works (sans del Toro?) and would love to see a new Watchmen as well.
Got to run some errands, I'll check in later.

***MILD SPOILER ALERT FOR INFINITY WAR IF YOU CARE***
Idk if the current mcu is coming to a close. There are marvel movies without names scheduled through 2022, but one will be a guardians and one will be a Black Panther. One will also be for the character hinted at by the pager at the end.

Oh wait, I thought you said a single scene that shouldn't be altered....
I'm a big big fan of "The Rocketeer," but alas that was also the mouse IIRC.
Just saw it yesterday. I'm a fan of superhero movies, but for those who might be annoyed by them, the Deadpool films are perfect (provided they also appreciate R-rated snark).
Regarding Deadpool 2, I loved the addition of Domino. She was awesome.
Solo: A Star Wars Story was more Episode One than Rogue One, but it was still a fun little popcorn movie.

Agree. And FWIW, I still think Rogue One is the best of all the Star Wars films and related. Even better than Empire. There. I said it.

I enjoyed Rogue One and Solo more than I have Episodes I, II, III, VII & VIII.
A few things:
-I enjoyed Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. It wasn't a genre-changing film, but certainly a fun popcorn blockbuster.
-Hoping to see the Fred Rogers documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor this week at some point. He is a personal hero of mine, so I am quite excited.
-Ant Man and the Wasp is also on my list, but I am more excited to see the directorial debuts Eighth Grade from Bo Burnham and Sorry to Bother You from Boots Riley.
-Lastly, in movie news, it is being reported that Billy Dee Williams will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian in 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX.

It's a nice palette cleanser and change of pace after Infinity War. Perfect amount of humor, Paul Rudd is fantastic (as usual). I wouldn't call it anything special, but definitely an enjoyable couple hours.
That is exactly how I hoped it would be without having the words to describe it. Thank you!
Caught a matinee of it yesterday. Though the plot could have probably been solved by a simple conversation between the protagonists and antagonists, it wa one of the funnier films in the MCU. Not to mention Wasp was rather awesome, specifically her fight scenes during the car chases. Lastly, the post-credits scene (the first one), is worth sticking around for. Admittedly, I gasped.
I actually thought that and the other one should have been flipped.
I was fortunate enough to catch the Fred Rogers documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? at a local indie theater here in Akron. I only cried through about 95% of it. What an incredible human being.
