    What movies have the greatest casts?

    It was impulsive (Ruby wasn’t exactly the most calm, collected, and conscientious man) when Ruby accidentally walked in on Oswald being transferred and he took the shot. Way too many moving pieces and cops would have had to been involved for it to somehow be a setup. Ruby shot who was, to him...

    What movies have the greatest casts?

    Great filmmaking but held back by how badly it mangles the history. Oswald shot Kennedy and he acted alone.

    Only a matter of time until this unholy union blows up in everybody's face. Sorsby? He's just the beginning. Somebody's gonna try and fix an NBA Finals or Super Bowl and yeah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sox_Scandal

    Dune 3 final trailer dropped

    I actually liked it as a sly visual reference. Villeneuve drops a ton of these references into his films. It rewards a close watch and the film nerds out there. The general audience isn't going to get it but it's not going to detract from their experience. But for fans of Blade Runner...

    Dune 3 final trailer dropped

    I'm sure he made a ton of money on Twilight so now he can do whatever he wants. Must be nice to be wanted by the biggest names for the biggest summer hits. But also can do whatever indie or up-and-comer projects he wants if he likes a script or director. I just thought after Twilight he would...

    Dune 3 final trailer dropped

    Impressive how he went from "stoner dude in those dumb vampire/werewolf movies your girlfriend made you go to with her when you were in college" to one of the best character actors in the business. The best directors in the world... Nolan, Villeneuve, Eggers, etc. ...all seem to want to work...

    Dune 3 final trailer dropped

    Roy Batty was not a villain. You could even argue he was the protagonist.

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    He's definitely been more consistent than Spielberg but hasn't been going at it until he's 80. Most of Spielberg's "meh" films are later in his career. Even after the 90s he's had some great films... Minority Report Catch Me If You Can Munich Lincoln Bridge of Spies I would not call it...

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    You could argue about the exact order. But holy goodness that top-seven is a murderers' row. I don't know how many other directors (Kubrick? Spielberg? Hitchcock? Scorsese?) could match it.

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    I appreciate Nolan swings big even if it doesn't always connect. The Dark Knight Rises and Tenet just aren't very good even if I appreciate the ambition. And I know he didn't direct them, but the Snyder DC superhero films he produced weren't very good either. I would see the Eggers films again...

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    You could definitely accuse both Nolan and Eggers of having a particular style. I just think the source material screams Eggers way more than Nolan – and I am saying this when I consider films like Interstellar, The Dark Knight, and The Prestige some of the best films ever made. The way I see...

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    I'm still pensive about this one. "The Odyssey" just doesn't seem like a Nolan tale. I'm still gonna go and give it a fair shot, though. I wish it was more like say Robert Eggers. Then I would be ALL over it.

    Have You Tried Playing Pickleball - Central Iowa has options!

    My takeaways from this World Cup for the USMNT. Well, they don't suck anymore. They're an established second-tier regional power. Most of the players play in top-level European leagues. They've come a long ways from the days when the team was a bunch of college guys with mullets, a few Germans...
