A side note about Argo. In real life, the art boards done for the movie they said they were making were drawn by Jack Kirby.
Google Jack Kirby Argo to see them.

The Town is an all-time favorite. Say about Aflek what you want but starring and directing and its on a level with The Town... How many have done that? Clint Eastwood probably and that's it.

The Room starring Tommy Wiseau. Now I can't decide whether he's a terrible actor or an acting genius. His acting is so hokey and bizarre that it has to be deliberate.

Black Widow
What a way to waste a great character like the Taskmaster. And the villain was lame, too.
The rest of the movie was fine enough.

Black Widow for me also.
I have no strong feelings for Taskmaster but can agree turning the character into a cardboard 2-D version of the actual character was a waste. No personality and really that was the only missing element for the character. Even with the reveal of who was under the mask (which lets be honest, was easy to figure) it added little.
It really is an enjoyable well acted movie for what it is though.

The Great Silence (1968). Always end up watching this in the summer for some reason but still one of my favorite Spaghetti Westerns.

Watched that Elisa Lam "documentary" on Netflix yesterday and man, the creepiest thing about that was by far the youtubers.
Sad story though.

Which ones your favorite? The older I get for me only Fellowship holds up. There's great stuff in Two Towers (my favorite back then) and even Return. Aside from some CGI Fellowship is kinda perfect but nothing beats READING TOLKIEN. What an artist when it comes to utilizing language, myths and history. Originally Posted by Deathstroke

Black Widow
For the first movie I've seen in a multiplex since perhaps December 2019, it was well worth returning for as I thought it was great, a perfect summertime popcorn flick. ScarJo won't win any Best Actress honors, but she was in fine form, Florence Pugh was terrific as Yelena while David Harbour was a hoot as Red (and fat) Guardian. Admittedly, I wasn't too terribly keen on how Taskmaster was handled, but the big reveal when the mask came off took me completely by surprise. Can't wait to see BW again!Avatar: Here's to the late, great Steve Dillon. Best. Punisher. Artist. EVER!

I like the first one as much as the next one or Return of the king. My favorite is always the one I am currently watching. But I can see your point with part one. I also have the feeling that I gets better every time I see it. Originally Posted by batnbreakfast

In this case the movies are better then the books. (personal opinion, very subjective)

Detectorists, a show on Prime. Not a movie but, hey, sue me! Its about a couple of guys who are in a metal detecting club and stars the guy who played Arnim Zola on the MCU movies and some other pretty good actors.
Fun show.Every day is a gift, not a given right.

How I Became a Superhero. Small, French superpowers flick. Pretty good, but watch with subtitle, the dubbing is bad.
