Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Just saw it in iMax 3D - fantastic, great tunes. No way someone can have that kind of movie experience at home unless they have Trumpian levels of money.

Dunkirk is the only film I am excited to see this summer :) Its plus 99 percent ‘want to see’ on Rotten Tomatoes

I'm the same. Dunkirk is the only upcoming film I want to see. I just have my fingers crossed hoping that Hollywood didn't screw it up.

It's a great story, all they have to do is tell the story. The previews look like they got it right but we'll see.

Patriotic Americans should be withholding their business from Trump-hating Hollywood as much as possible...

True story of a Little Indian kid that gets lost and eventually adopted. Very moving

I did not know that Nicole Kidman got an Oscar nomination. That is awful. She was so bad it was distracting.

I saw it last night with Mrs. Hoagy. It was probably the best Marvel film I’ve seen to date. No political content, lots of humor, no sex, and a good ending. Marvel just set one heck of a high bar to get to for the upcoming “Infinity War” movie next year.

I was the supervisor on an antenna farm in Floyd Tx.
The company had a verbal agreement with this local gal who ran the local store that she would hire a crew to hay the 100 acres and she kept the profit of the hay.
All this was done verbally and before I became the supervisor.
The deal worked for years but one day I went n to order a cheese burger in her shop and a gal that worked for her said “when can we get in there to take the hay”

I told her send the crew out in 2 weeks as I am running tests at the time, I’ll show them where the fiber optic lines are so they don’t cut them.

On the appointed weekend the crew arrives and we do the deal and they start cutting.
About 4 hours later that feisty old gal they had the verbal agreement with the company showed up waving around a 44 Mag yelling cease and desist!
Wilma was ripping her off and duped me LOL on a verbal contract made before I was the supervisor.

To My Chagrin Wilma duped me and was ripping off her employer to the tune of 10k!

The cheeseburger wern’t great either LOL

Hell I had to call the Sheriff to sort it all out.

Gosh I love Tx

The rest of the Hollywood dreck, not so much.

I had one that abscessed over the weekend while I was set for a root canal on Monday. I was on a hundred and ten mile drive and my wife got mad when I took my fourth pain killer in two hours. She insisted I give her the car keys and we went back home. LOL

Once upon a time Hollywood strived to tell real stories and a lot of them made you think, no more.

I've been watching a lot of foreign movies. Much better than Hollywood trash. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't like reading English subtitles when the audio is a foreign language, so I watch alone. Lot of excellent Korean movies, which surprised me. You can find lots of foreign movies on Netflix, etc. I no longer go to movie theaters, too expensive for a one-time watch of a movie versus relatively free at home.

I have seen about 1/3rd of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
I may have downloaded it. The story so far is about father son issues.... which I hate and the background music is mostly music from the 60’s/70’s rock which really really distracts.
If I were in the theater I would have walked out and asked for my money back. I guess I watch too much TCM movie classics.

Only good thing is Kurt Russell.

Let’s hope those losses hit quick. Market forces will make production companies think twice before releasing some anti-American propagandist BS on the silver screen
