    I watched this movie recently.  I thought it was pretty good.  
     

    I wish he had stayed in that supportive community.  It had a lot to offer, but I must say that I don’t understand why they were opposed to regaining their hearing. I’ve heard of this philosophy before and I don’t get it.   

    Honestly, that community came across as a cult.  That scene where he had to give up his phone and car keys was ridiculous.  He's deaf, not a relapsing drug addict.  He needs to learn sign language and how to work around his handicap, not isolate himself from the outside world.

  2. There was a reference to the Murder of Roger Ackroyd when Poirot said he wanted to retire the country and raise vegetables.  Does Branagh plan to make a third Poirot movie?

  3. I saw it last week and loved it.  Loved Brad Pitt's extended cameo.  It's nice to see something that isn't based on a comic book or an old TV show for a change.

  4. My thoughts:

    Damn, Paul was cute!  I now realize why he was my oldest sister's favorite. 

    Loved George's tailored suit with the hot pink pinstripes, Ringo deserves an honorable mention for 60's style.  

    Little Heather was adorable.  Yoko's caterwauling, not so much.

    George was so underrated, Here Comes The Sun is one of my all time favorite songs.

    I've been watching Beatles videos on Youtube for the last week.

  5. I loved the way the ending showcased what a strong person Sam is.  No matter what life throws at him he just keeps on going, making the best of things.  It was great seeing Sam get that apple pie life he's always wanted.

  6. There's going to be a spinoff off of Walker.  I don't know if Jared will play a role, but I hope he's cast as an early member of the Walker family.

    Another Jared Padalecki series is getting a prequel on The CW. The network is reportedly developing Walker: Independence, a spinoff of Walker set in the late 1800s, according to our sister site Deadline.

     

    Isn't it great that Jared's having such a successful post SPN career?

  7. I loved Bucky in this one.  "I should feel bad but I don't", "This is the end of the line, Pal" as he eviscerates Steve, plus Bucky in the shower.  In my head canon, Wanda yeeted him far beyond the zombie horde and he's chilling somewhere.

  8. I'm still trying to figure out why the banker was racist for not give a loan to someone who has no income, job or assets to prop up a business that hasn't turned a profit in five years.  Sure he was a dick for asking for a selfie after turning down the loan, but I'm not seeing racism.  Wasn't banks giving loans to people with no income, jobs or assets the main reason for the 2008 economic collapse?

    Yea I don't think he needs to be a main or even supporting cameo but it would be weird not to have a cameo or at least reference of a voice call or email from the old guy since he is both Sam and Bucky's best friend, not to mention a tactical genius.

     

    For someone who's supposed to be a tactical genius, all we ever see him do in plunge into a situation and start punching.

    All the promos referring to Sharon's role in the show confirms that she's been on the run, in addition to getting snapped and blipped. So yeah, she's been on her own since Mr. Morality couldn't be bothered to check on the niece of "the love of his life." Or at least that's my impression is, we'll see what the show's story will be.

    If I were Sharon, I'd feel like a real chump.  She basically committed crimes and threw her career away for Steve, who promptly forgot all about her then ended up going back to her aunt.

  11. I was laid off at age 52, and if I hadn't been lucky enough to land another job 7 months later (25% pay cut), this could have been me.

    I'd like to show this movie to the Millennials and Gen Zers who crying that the Boomers are all spoiled, privileged people hoarding all the money, jobs and houses.

    Wanda was a child trapped in a bombed-out building staring at a Stark bomb that did not detonate for days.  She didn't have the time or emotional bandwidth to consider who actually dropped the bomb.  And yes, if it said Hammer on the side, she would have developed a deep hatred of Justin Hammer.  

    According to Wandavision, she was born in 1989, which would have made her 26 years old in AOU.  That's 16 years to "consider who actually dropped the bomb".  You'd think that Tony personally dropped the bomb on her house the way everyone in the MCU acts.

    And let's not forget Steve telling Wanda not to feel bad about the completely preventable civilian casualties.

  13. Steve and Wanda shouldn't have been there to begin with.  There's no reason they couldn't have notified local law enforcement and let them handle it, or at least evacuate the area instead of going to a foreign country and performing an unauthorized paramilitary raid.  I thought it was insane that Steve actually said, "The safest hands are our own" after causing the deaths of all those innocent civilians.

    As for Wanda blaming Tony for her parents' death, if you got shot who would you blame, the person who fired the gun or the CEO of the company that made the bullet?  If the bomb had been one of Justin Hammer's, would she have blamed him?  IIRC, Tony only sold weapons to the US military, so it's not his fault if someone stole them and sold them on the black market.

    I thought it was good if not a little self indulgent. The cast were magic and the writing decent for the most part. I’m delighted to see Sacha Baron Cohen nominated. My favourite character was Jerry though - he just added unintentional lightness at times which I appreciated.

    The judge had me rolling my eyes as he was just so evil that all the scenes he was in I knew the outcome before it even started. I know it’s a true story so he probably was that bad but it took me out of the scenes as he was just so ridiculously biased and EVIL. It felt like bad writing to make the seven more sympathetic.

    It wasn't bad writing.  Judge Hoffman was that bad if not worse.  Everything he did is part of the court record.
