You're right theres something oddly enamoring about it.

Well, at least the star of this film isn;t Ryan Gosling.

Yeah I use coinbase. And as far as I can tell, there are conversion fees that coinbase imposes whenever you convert between currencies, except when you are converting to or from DAI. So I had maybe $65 in DAI, which is a "stablecoin" and doesn;t fluctuate, and I converted it to Bitcoin, and I...

I really do think Interstellar set the tone for astroflicks. Gravity missed the trendsetting mark there, redeemed perhaps by the legendary cinematographer Lubezki. At film school in chicago he was absolutely revered, and not without reason. Not sure about The Martian. And I haven't seen 2001...

@Corpsey Can't say I think its a masterpiece, but I am a sucker for astroflicks and the whole set design and sci-fi wonder felt towards everything. Plus, Clooney's beard was admirable. I thought the structure of it was a bit forced, as if it maybe felt compelled to deliver on the mindfuck...

I really am fond of this place.

MCU is also (at least relatively) socially progressive which is refreshing. Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is supposed to be the most powerful figure. Plus Boseman was on deck to be the central figure of the whole thing. Say what you want about the genre Marvel/Disney, but at least its setting...

The Stath.

You mean people just losing interest? An interesting development in the MCU is that it, itself, has become post-MCU. Thor walking around NYC and people ask for selfies. Ant-Man and Spiderman fawning over Iron Man, etc. Gets at my point about the superhero genre attempting to fuse the...

Yeah Black nails his own strain of banter, which I would guess is inspired by Tarantino.

Furious 7 made me cry.

Another Fantastic Four coming up, this time under the MCU umbrella

Cinematic universes with inexhaustible material. Between untapped content and content that has been spent and since renewed, viable for reboots, the well is virtually infinite.

I feared such.

Only seen a bit of this one, but the franchise chemistry was largely intact. Constant manly banter between tough guys.

I like the Fast and Furious franchise. The first one really had this boiling angst underneath it all, which gradually became less pronounced as the budgets increased. On a level of sheer production, the self-upmanship of the franchise is praiseworthy. Ever more unlikely and grand stunts. In...

I had Nice Guys and KKBB in mind, but you're right they aren;t action proper. They just have action sequences.

That said, maybe John Wick is just following the lead of prior cult films. Even if thats the case, its still significant, in my mind.

But I think John Wick does elevate the action genre to some degree. Those long, continuous fight scenes. The director was a stunt coordinator for the Matrix I believe. Very painstaking and passionate about action sequences apparently. And yeah the second-recent MI that has Cruise strapped to...

Old Boy as well. Haven't seen the remake though.
