Episode 7 was fantastic. Spoiler Alert- I actually kind of choked up a little bit when Marcus cut the candle..

And yet here's the reality.










It's almost as if everything she said is validated by people like you.

I really liked immortals as well. I think the story was a bit convoluted but nevertheless enjoyable. The director was obviously a fan of 300 as some of the settings and shots were gorgeous and very artistically inspired. i thought Luke Evans was a little young for Zeus and lacked the necessary gravitas but also how beautiful was Frieda Pinto. Even though it was an invention of the film the Epirus Bow was kind of cool.

In prepping for Nolan's The Odyssey I have been watching all movies about Greek myths and heroes lately. Some I haven't seen in 20 years or more and some about 5 years. I'll hopefully get them all in before the release date. Add any that I might have missed. Roman themed movies are NOT in the rotation although those featuring Greek heroes may be allowed.

I started with animation and moved on to film.

Contemplating the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad but wanted to keep it Greek centric even though it contains elements Greek mythology.

I just finished it up. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Nic Cage was not my idea of a good Spider Man but the overall production, writing, and style was too good of a combination and overcame my misgivings. LaMorne Morris was great and I really enjoyed the secretary's character as well. Brendan Gleeson is as good as he always is. Great production and unique style is a rarity these days and it shined brightly.

It's a movie. Casting is worthy of a discussion. This is beyond that. I find it overblown but hey, you do you. I'm not stopping anything. Just commenting on a comment board.

I started to watch it and it was very aware of itself and not really original or funny, Tom Brady and his manufactured "big man" persona was the first red flag.. So I turned it off and feel good about my decision. It was also just short of 3 hours long. I'd rather watch clips on you tube if I come across them.

Unfortunate. She looks like Peter Lorre in drag. However I feel I should balance the scales with Princess Fawzia Fuad of Egypt.

I find him lacking in charisma of any sort. I don't even find him able to have much range or disappear into any character from the few films I've seen with him. Granted its not that much. I can only think of Saltburn and trailers I've watched. A bit wooden. A little too emo for my vision and experience of Bond. But that's just me. I'll try and watch Wuthering Heights but I'm not going to watch Euphoria.

Maybe the Pentecostals could join them.
