I would also add all of the top ten best to the
list of the worst, with the exception of the gathering storm
which I haven’t seen yet.

[tet68]

Oops, Darkest Hour. Sorry.

[DoodleDawg]

If you haven’t seen it yet, see Remember with Christopher Plummer.

Christopher Plumber is getting a lot of work lately. He played Kaiser Wilhelm II in "The Exception".

Here are a couple of shots of the interior I took in October.

[Mears]

Thanks for those-——great movie.

Good actors usually do. He lives right down the road from me in Darien. I’ve heard he’s very approachable.

I watched the last half of GoG2 while in a waiting room.

What a load of rubbish.

Everyone of the characters was a Mary Sue or Gary Stu. They were essentially unkillable so there was no real drama.

It was basically just CGI pixel vs. pixel action.

And I'm supposed to get all welled up with nostalgia because there's a Sony Walkman with 80's hits on it or something?

Sheesh.

[deadrock]

Tight quarters, for sure. And I am not a fan of the pastel style of coloring.

Thanks for posting.

[dfwgator]

It’s a tie, they all sucked.

[Bullish]

Medved’s radio show is un-listenable. He's a creep with too much education that thinks he knows it all. He's a condescending assh*le. I can't stand him.

IMO, she is nice on the eyes, and I kind of liked certain aspects of the movie especially the first third-half, but the longer the movie went on, the less interested I became in it.

I turned into one of those CGI movies, and I am someone with a high tolerance for CGI.

She is pretty cute, though.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Have not seen Dunkirk but heard it sucked.

[freepertoo]

Aw, you poor guy!! We ought to start a ‘my worst date’ thread. I can’t think of one that wasn’t, actually!!

[submarinerswife]

I watched I, Tonya tonight. I liked it. It was really entertaining.

However, I want to add Three Buildboards to the “worst” list. Not worth the two hours I wasted on it.

[submarinerswife]

What os GOG?

[RooRoobird20]

Beauty and the Beast belongs in the top ten best category.

[minnesota_bound]

#7 & 20 Michael Medved’s radio show is titled “Hrumpf!”

[L.A.Justice]

Plus,they made the central character on the subway a black man-pandering?

I thought that was odd too...OK, I would have to say that blacks probably lived in London back in 1940...

In DUNKIRK, there was a scene showing a bunch of French soldiers...There was a black soldier...I think France did use African troops during WW 2.

I do intend to watch DUNKIRK again...

[L.A.Justice]

You can add this Social Justice, Diversity, Feminist-Womyn, Anti-Mansplaining piece of garbage to your worst list.

LAST JEDI was OK...not great...Nice action scenes...

I do agree that it became too PC at times...

[ssaftler]

it was Churchill who encouraged the British public to fight on, not the other way around.

Actually, I give the writer and director points for this little foray into fantasy. Churchill was being thwarted at every turn by his own party in dealing with Hitler and his gang. The scene showed, if nothing else, that, regardless of what the striped pants boys thought, the average Brit was firmly behind Churchill, and understood the alternatives.

Sort of a parallel to the current situation with President Trump in Washington...

Now, having seen (and barely stayed awake through) "The Compost" this weekend, I agree with those who thought it was a piece of garbage. Around the Bay Area, reviewers have praised the movie and it's "very relevant to today" message of necessary "freedom of the press".

In fact, it was quite relevant to today regarding the press. Especially in the slant of the Lame Stream Media. It was ham-handed in the way that it attempted to lay all of the "crisis" on Nixon. Meanwhile, MacNamara was portrayed as a pinheaded academic who was pure as the driven snow, and LBJ was nothing more than a few throw away lines in the movie.

In fact, MacNamara had commissioned the study that became "The Pentagon Papers" during the Johnson administration, assuming it would be used by historians in about 50 years to "understand" what was happening in Vietnam. And I think LBJ was just as angry about publishing the papers and would have been just as vindictive as Nixon had the news leaked under his watch. Probably more so, if I recall what historians have said about LBJ.

I'll refrain from commenting on the cast and their acting. Meryl Streep was, well, Meryl Streep. Just as clueless as Katherine Graham as she has been in real life with the Weinstein incident. And Tom Hanks wasn't bad, but his portrayal of Ben Bradlee felt very similar to other characters he's played.
