We watched 'prisoners' with Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman. Really liked it, and never heard of it before (released in 2014). Good small-town America thriller…one of those films were it is mostly nightime and raining. Perfect.
This is an excellent movie and was my introduction to the director, Denis Villeneuve, whose done quite well for himself since.

Ready Player One: 8/10
Loved the 80’s references [emoji106] A bit Willy Wonka but still pretty good

@gaseousclay there was a rumour that Spielberg wanted to get Gene Wilder to play Halliday, but it sounds like that was speculation.

Interesting. Halliday's hair even looked like Gene Wilder's. Gene Wilder was also my favorite comedian of all time.

I was very disappointed with Endgame

Bravely said. I won’t bother going at all because I’m not a fan of the ouvre.

i can't speak for others. but personally, iron man was the character that i feel most connected to. he was also the one that started the whole MCU saga. RDJ was literally made for that role that i dare say, tony stark is RDJ rather than the other way around.
mind you i'm not a big follower of the comics. so following this lead me to dabbling in reading up some of the marvel universe and other characters. what endgame means to some of us and me personally, is the closure we've been waiting so long for. without spilling any spoilers to the movie, it has come a full circle in regards to a certain character that i'm so deeply obsessed with.
"part of the journey is the end"

I haven't seen Endgame yet but I think you've summed it up nicely. For me, it's about the journey of each character. As moviegoers we've become invested in the them, just as with any show. I grew up reading a lot of Marvel comics so can relate to the films in different ways. Comics were an escape for me as a teenager, so the films imho are an obvious extension of that.

for you wondering about the decision and the direction of endgame, here's a really good interview by the NY times with the scriptwriters.
beware, SPOILERS AHEAD.

Anyone else pumped for the new John Wick? Just reserved seats for the premiere and can’t wait.
Folks were debating the merits of grim movies a while ago and on this vein, I’d like to suggest Zahler’s latest, ”Dragged Across Concrete”, for friends of the genre… All 3 of his movies are an odd combination of awkwardness and holy sh*t -moments and they definitely stand out among the more standard fare.

Currently watching a Korean flick called “The Chaser”. Great movie, quite disturbing.

I think there are a lot of John Wick fans here… I basically think they're the best drinking flicks ever made... And hangover pics... Or just lazy midday films...
Or for people that love dogs…
Or guns...
Or really anything...
The Continental is the one truth and John Wick is our savior

Yup. We love John Wick in our house. I won’t be able to see it on opening day though. My wife is in NYC for work and I’ll be in Indiana.
There aren't any movie theaters in Indiana?
