The Naked Fun in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 62

Sinners just hit on a whole different level for me. FF still reigns supreme to me on the CBM side of things this year.

Patiently waiting for Honey Don’t, Caught Stealing and One Battle After Another now.
My movie of the year so far is Sorry, Baby. Did not expect it to hit how it did.
 
I can’t roll with Naked Gun. I haven’t been a fan of Liam Neeson’s since he said he wanted to kill a black man a few years ago.

Happy for Pamela Anderson though.
I honestly thank Liam for that. He made it clear it was wrong, irrational and that he's changed as a person. All the while opening a door into the mind of prejudice most white folk love to act like doesn't exist.

But I also get not being able to look past it.

Glad he grew from it. But yeah… I’m reminded of what Maya Angelou said: when someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them.

To quote her loosely.
 
My hot take

Dick, Jason and Damien are the only interesting ones. OG Robin, bad boy Robin and bio son Robin get the biggest spotlight.

Steph was only Robin for a hot minute and hardly anyone remembers her time as Robin. No one cares about Carrie Kelley. Tim has his fans but feels like the least relevant Robin now.
I don’t consider this a hot take. It’s more of a room temperature take.

Steph was a decent Robin, but a much better Spoiler and a great Batgirl, especially when paired with Cassandra as a team. But she existed as Robin mostly to show what a heartless and manipulative jerk Bruce could be.

Dick, Jason, and Damien are the big 3.

My hot take:
Damien is at his best as Robin when paired with Dick as Batman.

I think similarly, Sydney Sweeney is now dead to me.
Hatemongers and those who roll with them aren’t cool.

The depth and cultural storytelling on display in that movie is just breathtaking. I really hope it will help inspire a blues revival in the black community. It is so weird that us middle-aged white guys seem to be the ones keeping the faith alive.

The fact that they got Buddy Guy to play old Sammie. :atp:
 
Yeah, its going to be a good week for movies for me. Try and see Naked Gun tomorrow. Shin Godzilla back on the big screen this weekend. And finally, what will likely be one of my top movies is finally released in the US.

This is fact.
 
Sinners is the best theatrical experience I’ve had in years, just a stunning achievement all around.

I’ve never seen a movie successfully mash every genre together so well and it’s probably the best use of music in a narrative I’ve ever seen. That was a day-one purchase once it became available and I’ve listened to the soundtrack every week since it premiered.

Is that what they were signing? :o

The English Dub would use He/Him pronouns to give it good Christian values.
