    The Marvels (2023)

    Haven't seen most of the X-Men movies, so had a question. This beast is from the Ian McKellen x-men?

    The Marvels (2023)

    Haven't caught up on this thread so don't know what the general feeling on here is... but I really really enjoyed it. Although I loved the first Captain Marvel, so maybe I'm just a Captain Marvel stan like Kamala. Kamala is hands down my favorite character in the MCU right now. Kinda reminded me of the first couple of movies in the MCU in a way. P.S.: I wish movies just included subtitles as standard these days. Sometimes the background stuff drowns out the actual dialogue, and I couldn't hear what characters were saying.
  3. I really enjoyed this alot. Agree with alot of what @thuganomics85 said. Was not expecting Darren to be MODOK at all, that was a surprise. Loved the last post credit scene, excited for what's next there.
  4. ^^^ Same. Could not hear the dialogue over the background. I was wishing for subtitles the whole time. This is what I thought as well. But others with me, thought it was a joke on his part. Otherwise, it was great. Didn't know what to expect with Chadwick's death, but they made a fantastic movie while remembering him.

    The Batman (2022)

    Gotta agree it was good, until it went on too long. There were multiple times I was like, ok that's the end, oh nevermind there's more, ok now it's done, nevermind there's more. The more times it happened the more the people in my theatre were audibly sighing. It was pretty late on a Tuesday but still. Also someone upthread talked about The Riddler and the performance of Paul Dano and agree with that too, he was definitely giving me internet troll vibes. I also just found everything he did and said hilarious, but no one else did. Every time he spoke I had to contain my giggles. I really liked the shot of Batman coming into the first crime scene with all the cops giving him side eye. Also does anyone know what the riddle Joker told Riddler in jail was? I couldn't understand half the dialogue in that scene. There was a guy in our showing that was really really not into it, he was on snapchat multiple times during the movie, and checking the time constantly.

    Turning Red (2022)

    In ‘Turning Red’ I finally saw myself reflected in a main character "While Mei and I do not have the exact same upbringing, she gives me hope that the young Asian Canadian girls of the future won’t need to hide different parts of their lives from the other, or, worse, erase parts of who are to exist." This part^^^^^

    Disney Films

    Just watched "Turning Red" and loved loved it. This movie was hitting all the nostalgia feels for me. I am born and raised in Toronto so I loved seeing all the background stuff, like the Daisy Mart! I had a Tamagotchi and was obsessed with Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls, just never bothered to ask if I could go to a concert cause the answer would definitely be no. The soundtrack was great too, I can actually see these songs being popular back in 2002 for a boyband. Also it will be forever known as the SkyDome! Rogers Centre wishes.
  8. Netflix is where I watch the episodes. Usually up a day after it airs in the USA.
  9. I thought the doctor said Maria had died 3 years ago, after 2 years of Monica getting blipped/missing. I liked Agent Woo, I thought he was funny and his jokes with Darcy were funny. Agree @Jediknight Randall Park and Kat Dennings have great chemistry. I gasped when we see dead Vision, was not expecting that at all.
  10. I really liked it. Frank and Joe are great brothers. @bettername2come gotta agree with the Callie stuff. They should have just off the romance plot for this season between them. Also I love Phil!
  11. Just finished the first 2 books in the League of Extraordinary Women by Evie Dunmore, and I think they would make a great series. Romance and suffrage movement.
  12. Feel so bad for Marina, and can't believe that Lady Featherington actually thinks that what she did was a good idea.
  13. Agree with both of your picks - but especially Tessa Dare. Her books have a funny streak going through them, which I love. I would go for her Girl Meets Duke series over Spindle Cove. My other picks would be any of Sarah MacLean's books, any of Courtney Milan's books, and Eloisa James' The Wildes of Lindow Castle series.
  14. Was going to try watching one episode a day but ended up finishing it all today! It's fantastic, I loved all the nods to the books with all the new updates. I was going to quote posts above, but realized it would be like literally every single post above mine. Please let there be a season 2. Coming up to four months in quarantine, and I have times when it seems like nothing I'm trying to watch is interesting and I have no attention span longer than 5 minutes and have no interest to pick up a book, so thankful this came out now and pulled me out of my funk.
  15. So glad I went in unspoiled. Gasped a few times, was not expecting it to go where it did at all. Such a good movie with fantastic acting from everyone. On a shallow note, the set design of the Park home was beautiful. I would be interested in finding out more about the housekeeper, and what happened after she was fired, so the show sounds interesting.
  16. Them reaching for each other got me 😭😭😭😭😭 💔 #WestAllen forever! Seriously, Candice and Grant's acting is the only reason that there is any emotion in the rushed dialogue and scenes between them. They always bring it. I am always imagining better scenes for them then we ever actually get. Heck, you guys have better idea's here, about upping the emotional stakes and better storytelling. Also 100% agree with your posts @phoenics in regards to Crisis; it has nothing to do with any other show or character being the lead in this crossover. What is left for the big overarching storyline for The Flash now? When we're done with Crisis is the newspaper headline gone from the Vault? Overall, still enjoying the crossover, just not thinking to hard about any of the science or plotholes.
  17. That's the dream! I really liked it, good WestAllen scenes plus nice Team Flash moments. Also I love Chester, he's so fun.

    Aladdin (2019)

    Um... yes to this whole part^^^. I was like to my cousin after the movie that I want Jasmine's hair accessories, and since I'm Indian, will try to get some outfits in the same colour combos Jasmine has. Just gorgeous! I laughed way to much at this part. I thought it was a great movie, different enough yet for me it did have the magic of the original too.
  19. Another thing I love about the movie is the score. I just found the Vevo playlist on YouTube, it is brilliant. I usually don't notice the background music but it works really well in this movie. The one titled, "Whatever it Takes," is ❤️❤️. As soon as I hear it it takes me back to the theater seeing Steve watching Peggy through the glass 😭 and Tony talking to his dad.
  20. She should be really close to Sam now, since they were on the run together with Natasha and Steve after Civil War. And she wouldn't want to be too much in the front where Steve was or with Clint's family. Last time they saw each other, Wanda was in prison and Tony was part of the reason, so I'm sure she had conflicted feelings about Tony.
  21. I wanted to see it in IMAX this weekend since I haven't seen it in that format yet, and all the good seats are gone again! I finally managed a Wednesday afternoon screening next week. But ended up seeing it again today in a smaller cinema with regular screen and it was just as good. This is my third time watching it and it was great to see everyone's reactions to things I knew were coming up. I actually cried more than the other 2 times as well. I started welling up when we see Morgan for the first time, and Natasha being the leader of the team, as well as the major emotional moments. There was a dad with his daughter a few rows ahead of me who had to console her at the end after she got a little emotional 😭 and a man that literally said "NO!" when he realized that Iron Man was dead dead. Also this time I really noticed what a great job both RDJ and Chris Evans did.
  22. These two moments made me want to get up and cheer!
  23. The movie definitely hit harder with me the second time I watched it. I was sobbing when the title card reads Voromir. Scarlett Johansson is not my favorite actress but she was great in this movie the whole way through. Trying so hard to hold it together after they realize the stones are gone, finding out about what Clint was up to, and then the "it's ok, let me go." 😭😭 And as soon as they start passing off the gauntlet I was tearing up, and was ugly crying while trying to be quiet. Till the end with Steve and Peggy dancing, 😢🥰. I get all the reasons it falls apart with time travel but for me the emotional payoffs were satisfying that I really don't care to much about the inconsistencies. Still love reading all your theories though! @Spartan Girl, as soon as I saw Ross at the funeral I thought about the fact you would hate it!
  24. I loved it totally, heartbreak and everything. So many unexpected laughs, a few cries and all the nods to the last 10? years. I think this movie encapsulates what it means to say bittersweet. "America's ass" killed everytime it came up. So good to see so many faces from the past, present and possibly the future of the MCU.
  25. Am I the only one who doesn't like the title? It just seems so weird and out of place compared to all the other episode titles.
