What Movie Are You Watching?

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)- Again... Strong story following Thor: The Dark World. Technically it’s not safe to assume anything about Hela in the end, although Cate Blanchett is super in the role.

​

Next: Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Anyone ever see GI Jane? I learned from this video Demi Moore got a Razzie award, which is just wrong. Moore and Viggo Mortensen are both fantastic in it.

BTW, the JoBlo videos on YouTube are often great watches.

Black Panther (2018)- Again... Power struggle in Wakanda. Sad that the lead, Chad Boseman died young. A sequel is planned for 2022. The cast has yet to be announced. Bucky Barnes makes an appearance in the 2nd post credits scene.

​

Black Panther II (2022) - IMDb

Directed by Ryan Coogler. With Martin Freeman, Danai Gurira. A sequel that will continue to explore the incomparable world of Wakanda and all the rich and varied characters introduced in the 2018 film.

A re-watch of The English Patient is on tap for me tonight. I had purchased a digital download and do tend to watch it again at least once a year or so. Acting and cinematography remain memorable. The scenes with the biplanes over the North African desert... wow.

As I understand it, you could’ve brought T. S. Eliot’s “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” with you and had basically a libretto of the whole thing.

Thta is a brilliant book (I have two copies, two different editions).

A thoroughly enjoyable - witty, entertaining, clever - read.

A terrific movie, - intelligent, interestig, thought-provoking, moving, unsettling, stunning cinematography, superb cast, acting, script, and a fascinating book (yes, boring, I know, but I read it).

And biplanes over the North African desert......yes, wow. Agreed.

I'd love to travel in a biplane; but, yes, I have been flown in small planes - turbo props - across parts of north Africa, landing on what were basically grass (well, dusty, dry, red earth, with lots of dust, camels, and archaic windsocks)...... and in central Asia.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)- Again... Epic story which is fairly straight forward if you have watched the lead up Marvel Movies to what I consider to be the climax of this story arc as compared to Avengers: End Game which imo is a convoluted time travel mess trying to reverse what was wrought in Infinity War.

Spoiler: Plot Spoilers

Sadly both Peter Quill and Thor blow their chance to defeat Thanos.

Not trying to start any fights, but The English Patient is artsy, and boring but I don’t insist on agreement as it is a matter of personal taste. Not judging relative taste either. Points to Sceptical for using the B word.

I’d lump it with Out of Africa, and Bridges of Madison County. And to add evidence it’s not just a man’s perspective, my wife dislikes all those titles too. However she tends to dislike turning adultery into a love story, even though she acknowledges there are examples where it is understandable that unpleasant relationships can result in finding true love somewhere else.
