Movie Monday Free Talk
We had a couple spurts at trying to do a regular movie discussion thread in the past here, but it seems to have fizzled out and I would love to bring it back.
So Tilderinos, have you watched any movies recently you want to discuss? Any movies that you want to recommend or are hyped about? Feel free to discuss anything here.
Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers as you can.
I saw Captain Marvel and thought it was pretty good, despite hearing nothing positive about it from friends or reviewers. I asked a coworker for his take on it, and he gave me the typical "they got this, this, and this wrong," but kept his negativity aimed at the accuracy to the comics (dude's a huge comic geek), rather than the movie itself.
I was surprised at how much crap it got, for being really just on the lower end of the Marvel franchise in quality. It's still good, but there are quite a few MCU movies that are better.
I watched Paris is Burning for the first time yesterday. Long overdue, it's amazing how things they did in the NY ball scene 30 years ago are getting more mainstream exposure with TV shows like RPDR and Pose.
Might try to see Shazam this weekend, but the local drive-in theater is opening for the season this weekend too. Won't have time for both, so I guess my choice will depend on the weather.
