movies

Late period Spielberg is doing some seminal work in the dad movie canon. This is right up there with Lincoln.

If you like middle aged white men showing great dignity, determination and righteousness in the face of adversity caused by defending those of lower social standing, this is a movie for you.

I'm being flippant. This is a good movie and something the whole family can watch and enjoy. It's just becoming a little too obvious who is making these movies and who they're making them for whether they realize it or not.

Middle aged white guys like movies and spend money.

For sure, but I think there's more going on in Spielberg's case. I think as aging liberals find themselves naturally becoming more conservative as they age, they create self-serving narratives in their life or in their work that help them cope with that identity transition.

Also, it is nice for us middle aged white men to see our age group not depicted as a hen pecked idiot who can only survive because we have a smart woman by our side who keeps us out of our own way.

To be fair, in those situations, the wife is usually hotter than the schlubby guy deserves.

True, but she is still a know it all [expletive].

Hence, why she's attainable.

Why had I not watched Kung Fury on netflix until now? That was a terrific 30 minutes.

What country are you guys living in? The movies are for teenagers. Comic books, comic books, toys, comic books, sequels, prequels, reboots, toys, remakes, and comic books. Y'all should be grateful that a film like "Bridge of Spies" can still get made--a film from an original script in which no one wears tights or capes--not sneer at it for being a dad movie. Probably the only reason it did get made is that it has the likes of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg behind it. Those guys aren't getting younger.

anyone see burnt?!

Now, see, this is a good movie to sneer at. Bradley Cooper starts a restaurant, but you know, very dramatically. Loads and loads of dramatic tension over whether or not people will come to Bradley Cooper's restaurant and buy his food.

...anyway, no, nobody saw "Burnt." $5 million over the weekend.

I was pretty clear in saying Bridge of Spies is a good movie. That's not sneering. Just poking fun at some well worn tropes.

The Gift starring jason bateman was a nice little surprise

I have not seen the movie, but I am all for this kind of movie.
