It's just that our wars are fought in cyberspace via social media propaganda, we have Amazon delivery drones that makes flying personal transport unnecessary, and ICE are a bunch of cops who are given free rein to hunt down an underprivileged class whom they consider less than human and kill them if them deem necessary.

Turns out it takes less energy to just make a bit of metal shoot really fast through someone than to make a concentrated beam of heat and light shoot fast through someone.

My wife got to choose the movie last night and went with 'The Last Thing He Wanted' on Netflix. Jesus it was terrible, Anne Hathaway under mastectomy makeup, Alcohol Bender Bloat Ben Affleck and Criminally Underused Willem Dafoe. The description said it was based on the book, so I thought it was some biopic style movie about the Sandanistas, but apparently it was written as a airport gift store knockoff Danielle Steele.

She's got her Oscar, she's done the big blockbuster movies, she lives on the Upper West Side in New York and she's married to an ultra-rich businessman. So I imagine she works on projects she finds interesting.

She can ride the "won Oscar/charming Oscar host" popularity for a couple more stinkers. Didn't oceans 8 make a reasonable amount of money? I still don't know what the hell people we're thinking in making serenity, but she probably did it to hang out and chill with mcconaughey again, and hell, who can blame her. Edit:lol the dude who wrote and directed serenity also wrote or directed dirty little things, Locke, taboo, and peaky fookin blinders.how in the hell?

Not an airport lounge book at all, it's a slim, almost novella-length fiction by Joan Didion. I really liked the book but that doesn't mean it makes a good film, or certainly an action or drama piece. The book is fairly internal, lots of trying to catch the atmosphere of a place rather than events. And, if I remember correctly, the big climax takes place off stage and we're simple told about it. Or, in summary, when I heard they were making a film of it, my reaction was "Really?"

Cinemas in China are planning to reopen and they're going to screen Avatar, Avengers, and Inception among others. This virus might led to Avatar becoming the highest grossing film ever again.

I just watched Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and thought it was a lot better than I expected. It had some fun character moments and I liked that one of the chekov's guns was played around with - You expect the wedding dress to be used to escape the room, Aurora fools the guards into thinking she's done the predictable thing and while they are distracted she slips away through the door and locks them in, but then later she needs to escape from a floor down, so goes to the dress-rope and actually uses it this time. I thought that that was cute. Also I like that the Misunderstanding that seeds the main conflict was deliberately engineered by the villain, it made everyone look so much less dumb. Also Aurora seemed smarter in this installment, or at least capable of taking care of herself.

Given your username, I'm surprised you didn't mention the villain being a literal imperialist who developed a biological weapon that kills magical creatures.

Something I think is kind of funny is that they're advertising the home release of Harley Quinn and despite the vo calling it "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey" the image they show on screen has the original title.

Reminds me of when they tried to ad-hoc rename Edge of Tomorrow to Live. Die. Repeat (which is far, far better name).

Live. Die. Repeat. Was the movie tag line. Edge of tomorrow was the movie title. All you need is kill was the name of the manga. Live. Die. Repeat. Sucks rear end as a title. It should have been all you need is kill, but edge of tomorrow was better than the rebrand.

It's a Tom Cruise movie that plays to both his fans and his detractors. One the one hand, you get to see Tom Cruise in an action movie being a badass, and on the other hand, you get to see Tom Cruise dying over and over again. Win/Win!
