I'm glad that I finally did.
That's almost impressive. How could you avoid it?
It's a talent. Haven't seen The Big Lebowski either.

I'm losing all cred around here.
I have never seen Titanic but Big Lebowski and Shawshank Redemption are awesome movies so not sure how you'd go about all these years avoiding those movies. Shawshank is literally on some sort of a cable network once a week or so.

Nothing here on Justice League trailer? Too caught up in the DNC?

I was kind of pleasantly surprised. If I was the kind of person who got to go to movies all the time, I could see myself enjoying that for an afternoon. BvS on the other hand looked like pure drudgery.

Also, I'm in on Wonder Woman. Childhood infatuations die hard.

I didn't see it. It just looked unbearably serious to me for a movie named Batman vs Superman. I also don't like Zack Snyder in general.

Did you see the Wonder Woman trailer?

Aquaman looks surprisingly bad ass in the Justice League trailer.

I did. Probably a little more Matrix-fu than I'd care for. Slow motion fight scenes are a little overdone. I'm curious how they handle the daughter of zeus, isolated Amazon tribe stuff. You'd think there'd be some good material with her having to adjust to the male-dominated world outside, and struggling to keep a low profile. That's something new to bring to the table, among all the other superhero movies.

I thought BvS was pretty good, and Mrs. Wart enjoyed it too. Batfleck was the second best thing about it, Gal Gadot was by far the best. I like the looks of The Justice League movie so far, hope Znyder scales back the dark serious tone a little. The Wonder Woman trailer looks really good.
