Thoughts on Movies

Some of the tidbits here about how the movie was being made at the same time at the same studio as Attack of the Clones were interesting, especially given that Ewan McGregor starred in both.

Ainsley and I went to see _Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair_ last night, and it was simply fantastic.

I wonder who she’ll be. Vicki Vale? Poison Ivy? 🤔 On a tangential note, I’ve been belatedly catching up on _The Penguin_, which has been fantastic so far.

I’m glad to see this kind of thing, and I hope—as the article indicates—that the other chains continue to invest in their large-format screens. In particular, I’d love to see more 70mm-capable IMAX screens. It’s one of the few things that gets me to go to the theater anymore.

Oof, that’s a long movie, intermission or no. Still, I might have to seek out a 70mm showing.

I saw the premiere of _Superman_ Thursday night, and was happy to see that it was a colorful, positive movie with a solid version of the character that the new James Gunn-led DCU can build on. I think that it is a great movie for kids, normies, and comic book fans alike.

That’s $11M too much, but I’m glad to see the correct signals getting sent.

I’ve steadfastly refused to watch any of Sony’s Spider-Man spinoffs. The only way we can get this kind of garbage to stop is to stop paying to see them. That includes watching them “for free” when they make their way to streaming services.
