We debated the [expletive] out of Into the Wild/McCandless about ten years ago.

Haven't seen it in forever, and hardly remember anything about it (unfortunately that's how I am with most movies just a few months after seeing them, unless I've seen them multiple times). What's the 'real epiphany'?

Got my moviepass in the mail today so going to use that now instead of buying tickets off of Fandango. Saw Logan Lucky today at Keller theater. Probably go see Only the Brave at Ronnie's tomorrow.

I saw into the wild a few years ago. Can't remember exactly what I thought at the time, but it is a movie that has stuck with me about how we're all different and beautiful in our own ways. Again, can't remember what I thought about it at the time, but I thought they did a great job in hindsight.

Judging from the previews, 2.5 of the 3.5 hours of Justice League are the heroes standing around flexing/posing/looking real tough before a big fight--a trope required to be in every comic book movie these days. I might miss that one.

Won't miss Thor though, because Taika.

Apes: War is great. Nice trilogy, there. And because I'm going to keep banging this drum until someone complains, or at least validates me (Pew Research says I'm a millennial, so...)--Michael Giacchino is brilliant and makes every story he's a part of better. In a world where 80s synth is the standard tv/film soundtrack, he is doing the Lord's work.

Saw "Killing Gunther" last night. Considering the comedy pedigree of most of the people involved, you'd have hoped it'd be a little funnier? But no. Arnie is good in it though.

Watched "The Founder" and it really exposes what a piece of [expletive] Ray Kroc was.

Yeah...but how do we know how accurate it is? Not just this movie in particular but all biopic movies; you are always getting a slanted story.

Although I always heard Kroc was garbage.
