    Re: Movies 51 - Rise of the Frozen Joker: Chapter II: Dark Fate

    Blinded by the Light: Pakistani kid growing up in a smaller UK city during the mid 86-87 school year who comes across Bruce Sprinsteen's music for the first time. The backdrop/b-story for timing is a neo-Nazi movement was gaining notoriety in Britain at the time. It's based upon a true story, goes through his struggles with his family as he goes against his father's wishes and decides that writing is his calling rather than becoming a lawyer, doctor, etc..

    It follows the formula for this type of movie, but I enjoyed most of it. It runs a little long, but there are some fun things happening too. They used the Boss's songs well.
    "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

    "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

    "Good news! We have a delivery." Professor Farnsworth

      Very clever to use a Bruce song that very few people associate with Bruce. I approve.

          The Punisher:

          Decided to check out the movie, to compare to the Netflix series. The series was better. When Travolta is NOT a minus, that says something (minus Pulp Fiction, of course). The insertion of comic relief and the romance angle hurt the movie, to be honest. I thought the series was more raw, more fitting.

              If you haven't already, I highly recommend seeing the big screen showing of Lawrence of Arabia presented by TCM and Fathom Events at movie theaters Sunday and next Wednesday. I saw it on the big screen a few years ago and it is a visual marvel. Seeing it on a big screen is a must for any cinephile.

              Also coming in September is You Are Here a documentary on the town of Gander in Newfoundland on 9/11. When United States airspace was closed, 38 commercial flights with 6,700 travelers were rerouted to a community of 9,600 where they remained for days with uncertain destinations. The people of Gander came together to provide food, shelter and entertainment for the stranded passengers. German airline Lufthansa was so grateful it named a plane after Gander. The film will play on 11 September.

                          I had no issue with his performance, it was as much as he could do with subpar writing. The Netflix series portrayal was so much better (and frankly, they found an actor that better fit the "look/attitude" of the character.

                            Netflix’s version was so ****ing boring.

                              I dug it, and for comic book stuff, that's a tough hurdle. I'm not as against it as some, but you do have to convince me, if that makes sense.
