Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

[medicchick]

I’m not quite getting your post.

I didn't find Gal Gardot offensive. I don’t hate the actress, but she didn’t inspire me. I hate the Wonder Woman, the movie. I do blame the script, the director and everything that produced the output which was a empty story of a woman bounding around in a shiny bustiere while everyone was just extras. I found the treatment of World War I component shallow. Such a big budget to make one woman ‘look’ unrealistically good. I wished it made more sense even by Super Hero standards. So today I asked another woman’s opinion, I’ve been asking men, who all look at me like I’m overly harsh. I turned to my left and asked the quirky lady next to me. After having a fun chat to her about her doll collection, I asked her opinion on if she enjoyed Wonder Woman. Her answer was to scrunch her nose and reply, ‘Not really.’

I’m just not getting the high rating.


Does this kind of stuff really need to be part of this thread? I refer to both comments here.

You read way to much into things some times.

Sorry, it didn't post before I went out to take my daughter to the bus stop.

On the thread topic, we saw the Black Panther movie a few days ago and liked it. I thought the costumes were beautiful and there were just enough laughs to keep it from going dark. Bibbers liked it and her friends at school were waiting until she saw it to play Black Panther so they are all happy...lol

Spoiler: Movies...Boobs...Bling

I don't remember seeing anything about it here, but anyone have thoughts on The Shape of Water? Del Toro is usually a must see for me, but was looking for extra input.

Quick mod-edit to give the NSFW tag. You'll have to show me how you do that button. Pretty cool.

Agreed - show me, too.

+1 point for @SaintKP.

This is for mobile (I don't have a computer so I don't know if it's any different), but you click on the icon with 3 blocks in a row and select the "spoiler" option and type what you want the spoiler tag to say. It'll automatically input the code for it to show up, all you need to do is type what you want to be hidden in between the two brackets

You can also do what I did and attach an image, but you need you make sure that you are in between the two brackets when you do otherwise it's going to turn out jacked up.

I don't have cable and I don't get out to watch movies often. But the hotel I stayed in over the weekend had HBO so I was able to watch "Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them," which I thought was amusing and well-done, even as someone who's not into Harry Potter. It took me a minute to realize what movie I remembered that female lead from. It was definitely not a kid's movie...

I also wanted the latest in the Alien series... Covenant I think it was called? Pretty disappointing. I watched "Aliens" first and all of the rest of the genre, IMO, were but pale reflection.

Red Sparrow.... boobs. Spying. Decent ending. J-Law’s boobs.

Worth seeing for one or all of the above.

Keeping Up With the Joneses was pretty funny. Gal Gadot was awesome and Isla Fisher was hot as always.

Something to look forward to bringing the kids to at Christmas.

I miss scrambled porn, fired up the imagination. Wish I could have paid this much attention in school instead of swilling cheap vodka and Metamucil.

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.

He did great....I think he was the 3/9...his label pin looked like the 9th IF Div. He said he volunteered, but when he asked "anyone else" it was awesome.



Gary Oldman's acceptance was very good, classy.

The 9th ID SSI patch was referred to as "the flaming asshole."

Just for you, Frank (NSFW):

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.
