Might be too much effort though example spoiler text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamber Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Anyone who has not yet watched Adam Curtis's new release this week needs to. "Can't get you out of my head" on BBC iPlayer is nothing short of a masterpiece. Have no doubt, this is the the most honest, acurate and enlightening film you will ever see. If you want to understand why this world is as it is now,today, this is where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People watched the new Adam Curtis documentary thinking that it would enable them to understand why the world is at it is now. But then the exact opposite happened...

rock the clock Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I don't mind adam Curtis really but this is way too long İt's not like he's making any particularly unique observations, and the pretty images and cool soundtrack can only entertain for so long...

Homer Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Just watched this scene back for the first time since the cinema. The look John Krasinski gives off of, I'm doing everything I can just to hold my shit together for this person: Edited February 14, 2021 by Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best not to discuss it, if you do Wanda will know and you don't want to face her repercussions! I'm trying to figure out the importance of Agnes, they are including her in the fake title sequences so she can't just be another resident. My money is on her being the witness Jimmy Woo was trying to find but has some other importance too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems far too big for this show, and possibly too early as I assume F4 is still a couple of years away, but then Marvel are clearly going big with this so who knows? Would be a hell of a big fan pleaser if it was him. My bet is on it being a smaller comic character, although I couldn’t for the life of me say who as my comic knowledge largely ends with the cinematic universes. As for Agnes, I’ve got a feeling she’s gonna be something big, possibly even the main enemy, possibly even the one controlling Wanda/the whole scenario. Her still being able to speak when the rest of the town was frozen is just too suspicious along with a ton of other stuff she’s done throughout the series. No way is she not in on all this.

I think she is key to how the show unravels and also serves to introduce something else. I'd love it to be Reed Richards! I think it might be Adam Brashear (Blue Marvel) who in comparison is a minor character but a new introduction never be less. I did think it might be Rhi Rhi Williams especially with the IronHeart announcement but they said "guy" in episode 6. Reed Richards would fit the huge Skywalker-esque cameo they talked about but I still think that'll be Dr. Strange.

SwedgeAntilles Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I bowed to Disney+'s subliminal post-WandaVision ads and stuck Age of Ultron on last night. I think that's only the 3rd time I've watched it (once at the cinema and once when it was realised on blu-ray), I know it gets a bad rap but I actually really enjoyed it. Yeah it's overly long and doesn't really stack up against the other Avengers films but it's still a good watch, particularly now mid-WandaVision binge.

I'm guessing you reckon it's Agatha Harkness as I've seen that theory float about alot and the brooch is a solid argument but the lack of a cat, she seems unsure of the limits of magic like asking Wanda if she can revive the dead as well as being under control just like the others makes it seem iffy to be her.

Yeah it holds up even better now all the world building it had to do has all played out. Wish we had more scenes like the start where they're a proper team with a plan. I'd like Ultron to come back but it probably won't without Stark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if she's not, or at least a version of. It'll be interesting to see who her 'husband' is and whether Dotty comes back - I've read the stuff online. I think Wonder Man will come into it (based on the promo art), but I think he will actually be part of Vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Just binged the whole of The Investigation, true life crime drama about the murder of a Swedish journalist. Absolutely outstanding, one of the best things I've watched in years. Soren Malling is one of the best actors on the planet. Probably still on BBC i-player.

I was tempted to put it on again but with all the shit about Joss Whedon coming out I really don’t feel like it at the moment. The Whedon stuff never ends. It starts off with him firing a pregnant women after telling her she’s fat and if she’s really gonna keep it to locking Gal Gadot in a closet and the other producers not letting Whedon be alone with the child actors on set. It does explain why Black Widow the super spy assassin was reduced love interest in Age Of Ultron in hindsight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 My curiosity of that Justice League film has turned into excitement for 4 hours I know I won't enjoy. I'm still dumfounded that it even exists, madness. In 4:3 as well, sure they're just fucking with us at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of pictured them stuck in the negative zone and years have passed etc., but I suppose that wouldn’t be the best jumping on point... I think the fact Marvel have been so specific in linking their TV and film worlds means anything is possible!! @priest17 4 hours seems soooo long! But I will watch it! Over a day or two...

They want to see the guy that made the super dark and depressing (and shit) Batman V Superman make another 4 hours of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Man of Steel was terrible. Batman v Superman was terrible. Justice League was terrible. Will I still watch the Snyder cut?

vintagelaureate Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 In other news, I've just watched "Willy's Wonderland". Quite the emotional rollercoaster... if you like a silent Nic Cage taking on demonic animatronic ostriches whilst high on energy drinks and pinball.

It seems like a shame as the DC shows they make for it like Harley Quinn, Doom Patrol (first season at least) and James Gunn’s Suicide Squad spin off Peacemaker would make me subscribe to it.
