He called it a "soon to be classic" rather than a "masterpiece" so I'm guessing he has not.
Joey is right. I haven't seen it yet. Hope to see in it in a theatre.
It seems right up your alley. I hope you like it. I'm betting you will.

I have not. It doesn't really look like my jam. So, I'm not making plans to see it.

Talks broke down for a cameo in 'Shazam!' due to scheduling conflicts, and the door is now closing on other potential appearances for the actor.

Bummer. I liked his performance as Superman. And he was getting better...loved him in MI6.

I’m looking forward to 7 years from now when they say “gee whiz, we always hoped to make another Affleck Batman movie, but of course we aren’t going to make a movie unless we have a script that does the character justice...especially with a talent like Ben. The right script never materialized. We definitely weren’t hurriedly phasing him out as early as 2018.”

Yeah, that's crazy. I have to imagine they're all up for the chopping block now except for Gadot.

A long time ago I would have been so stoked for that...these days I don't even care about all that Netflix content. Im also really tired of the Coens, I'm not sure why because I haven't even seen their last two or three movies.

I loved Inside Llewyn Davis. Enjoyed True Grit. Didn't see Hail Caesar.

I liked Hail Caesar way better than Llewyn Davis, which was miserable

Davis and Caesar were both collections of absolutely great scenes in unfocused narrative packages. The sums were inexplicably less than their parts, but many of the parts were so, so good.
