Damn. And Black Panther was still playing at two theaters I went to.

I haven't watched Lost In Space yet, but I'll say one thing- it looks expensive (and beautiful). They clearly didn't cheap out on the show

They didn't. There are a couple of monsters that aren't great and a few too many scenes in a forest (no doubt in BC) but overall it looks great.

I think what I like and find refreshing is how low key it is. No attempts at humour - a few Don Westisms aside - or over-the-top heroics. Maureen is great; Will is smart but a normal kid; they have a nice take on Dr Smith; and the robot is pretty cool. Couple of sciencey things bugged me but easily forgiven.

Holy ****!

Saying this might be too leading, but Infinity War is:

Spoiler

The Empire Strikes Back of Marvel films.

I can't think of another movie that so deserves this title. In any franchise.

Have to agree with this, in the best possible way.

Having tried all weekend to get seats, I’m probably too sleepy to speak intelligibly about it, but damn — this film delivers! I don’t want to seem like a fanboy, but I’m trying to think of missteps, and am just coming up short. I think if anything, certain moments could have been drawn out for maximum effect, but weren’t, due to the enormous running length.

The best moments for me — aside from the obvious, spoiler-requiring shockers — were just how many small things they squeezed-in from the comics. (The metal-armed Spidey suit being a great example; perfect execution there). Thanos’s female sidekick (which I recognized from the amazing Hickman Avengers) was also well-done.

The writers also seemed to learn from the best of Whedon’s impulses with the whole poignant, then funny dynamic, framing scenes in his special way.

I just couldn’t believe how well they fleshed-out Thanos, too — much better than the comics.

I’ve got to see this one again, and soon.

Cast of Infinity War read Mean Tweets. They managed to collect some good ones for this round.

For those who have seen Infinity War. Lol.

My son took me to see Infinity War yesterday. Intense to say the least and some vrey good marvel gags.

Spoiler: What Next?

Ok so Captian Marvel. I read the Jim Stalin Thanos epic back in the 70’s great artwork and story line. I just wonder where do we go from here if Thanos has become a) the God or b) a god. Either way it opens up some interesting story lines which will lead to an interesting resoltuion.

Spoiler

On a smaller note, someone pointed out that the erasure of Xandar (the planet w/ the Nova Corps) is the perfect set-up for a Nova movie.

I liked how Thanos stuck his guns and kept things random. One possibility is he that will simply evaporate on that hillside along with the rest, leaving someone else to recover the gems — though I’m sure they won’t go that route.

I was thinking maybe they could also salvage some of the interesting aspects of the whole Battleworld storyline and use — who was it? — that guy who just wanted a sandwich? — and use him to rebuild things.

First episode of Cobra Kai.

I just saw Infinity Wars & while the villain was unpleasant, I could see his point. Humans & most other species seem to be hard wired with two goals. The first is to survive & the second is to reproduce & consume. One of the reasons the Europeans were so attracted to the New World was that had begun to exhaust their recourses.
The villain wanted to wipe out 1/2 the population on a given planet on a completely random basis. Currently we have 7 billion people on a planet that can comfortable accommodate 1 billion. There is a theory that when we hit 10 billion people, we are going to experience a lot of problems.
Consider



Not a film that has to worry about getting an Oscar, but saw it using Movie Pass & was fun for $2.50.

Thanos' scope was bigger than just Earth/Terra.

Spoiler

He wiped out half of all life, everywhere.

Also, followed the link, and I survived. So...

 

[dopey]

I am halfway through Black Panther. I am up to the part where Killmonger beats T'Challa in the challenge and becomes the BP and King of Wakanda. I have to say, that kind of sucked and I am not sure I see the point of the rest of the movie now.

 

[SixOhNine]

I am not sure I see the point of the rest of the movie now.

Not sure you see the point? Dude, you're gonna miss like 65 percent of the special effects if you bail now! Think of the children!

 

[noob in 89]

lol, how did you like the rest?
