Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

I don't watch the Oscars or any of the award shows, but I wish I would have seen Gary Oldman's acceptance as it happened as well as this:
Vietnam Vet Wes Studi Introduces Oscar's Tribute to the Military

Native American actor Wes Studi, who discussed his Vietnam service with us earlier this year, appeared at the 90th Oscar Awards ceremony to introduce a video tribute to men and women in uniform. It's not the nomination (and win) Studi deserved for his performance in "Hostiles," but it's great to see a veteran on the Oscar stage. Studi stunned the crowd when he described his own service in Vietnam with Alpha Company of the 39th Infantry and then asked "Anyone else?" and got nervous laughter in response.

Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.

@Florida173 - That’s so odd that they do that where you are. I’m sorry it’s the case as you said, I actually didn’t understand your grievance. I do now.

@medicchick if you’re referring to the comments, I prefer to steer clear from controversial topics, it’s why I add to this thread. If you’re referring to the movie, just a lot of hate. I found the silliness too distracting. The Hobbit movies were silly, but at least I laughed and I enjoyed them. There was nothing funny about Wonder Woman, just dumb.

@Ooh-Rah - I’m not offended. I was scratching my head if anything, and in any case, I didn’t care to engage further. So I’m good for final word...if you ignore all the words on this post...
 
Still not seeing the issues with Wonder Woman, it was banned in the Middle East because it showcased a woman as a Super Hero. Whereas previous appearances by Gal Gadot had not. Also, she's a smokeshow...with the way they did her costume I'm pretty sure of the audience they were targeting.

It's not about a woman as a superhero, it's that the leading actor is jewish.. the same reason why I can't go out to see Annihilation at the moment. It's been a thing here.

Anyone see Annihilation and also read the books? Curious to how much it deviates. I'm gonna have to torrent it or something

Umm... it’s Wonder Woman. Her costume has been pretty much the same since she was introduced in 1941. I didn’t think the movie outfit was over the top, and it wasn’t even shown until about halfway through the movie. Hell, Lynda Carter’s outfit was a bit more risqué than Gal Gadot’s. The movie outfit made more sense since it was designed as armor, whereas Carter wore what was essentially a one piece bathing suit with plenty of cleavage and hooker boots.

When I was a wee one I had a wonder woman bathing suit, as did both my sisters. I think I was 3ish.

I gotta ask. What's the Metamucil for? Does Metamucil in conjunction with alcohol delay or help with the absorption of alcohol when drinking? I know psyllium fiber helps absorb liquid, does it do the same with alcohol?

The answer is maybe? It probably helps absorb some but you're more likely to get a benefit from the laxative interrupting your time pounding back Bacardi to prevent a hangover.

There was a study back in the 70s about vitamin b6 preventing them. I'll see if I can look it up.

Well, this. I’m not going to sell it to myself that it’s role material for my little ones.
Her outfit was dopey, I get it that she was created in a different age, but couldn’t they have made her super hero suit a little cooler, more practical, more warrior-like and less shiny bathers. But I guess she wouldn’t be Wonder Woman. :rolleyes:

I hoped that maybe the nemesis was at least interesting, since everybody else was pointless. Son of Zeus was a fizzle, the ending was a non-event.

So when I asked the husband if he really thought the storyline was any good, he pointed to the Warrior women at the start and then said again, it’s a Super Hero movie, what can you expect?!

I asked him if he felt the storyline was of the same caliber as Batman or Spider-Man? His response was, “Batman is special.” :rolleyes: He finally conceded that Wonder Woman was dumb but reemphasized that Gal Gadot is hot! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:!

I love pretty men and women on my screen too, but I’d like a logical story line, a supporting cast that actually do useful things, and action scenes that kinda make sense. That scene when Mr Love-Interest called his buddies to help lift the car door so she could have that extra boost to leap into the sky and crash into the tower to take out the sniper was just ridiculous! If I had popcorn at the time, I’d throw it at my tv screen! :mad:

I mean that metre or so musta made all the difference! I guess the secondaries had to do something... I go back to my original bitchery, she could have leaped up with no assist and crossed her arm guards and a BOOM!!! The End (of sniper).

I’m finished ranting on Wonder Woman. I still have to rant about Dunkirk at some point.
