Dunkirk...holy [expletive]. If Hans zimmer doesn't win an Oscar then it'll be the biggest upset in Oscar history.

One thing I didn't get however
[SHOW]
can someone explain to me what happened towards end when the rescue boat somehow assisted in bringing that dive bomber down? I guess I missed something there

Dunkirk was definitely worth watching.


We watched Detroit last night. It was very good. At the end the whole theater left silently. Such a powerful movie.

I didn't think it did. I thought that scene was just the boat dodging the bomber's machine guns.

He dodged the bullets perfectly while Tom Hardy used the last of his gas to shoot it down. The timeline made that a little disorienting.

Dome IMAX aka omnimax sux. Thinking about seeing it again on a flat IMAX screen.

Just one more giving a tip of the cap to Dunkirk. What a movie. Teared up once or twice.

The actor who played Goldberg was arrested for meth possession less than two weeks after being arrested for theft.

New Linklater movie. Cranston, Carell, Fishburne. Probably the first "old guys have an adventure" movie that has looked good to me.




Apparently this is based on the same book series as "The Last Detail", which is probably the best known Jack Nicholson movie I've never seen.

I watched Moonlight on Amazon streaming a few days ago and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I think the key is my expectations weren't too high.
