Civil War (2024)

[The Argonaut]

Civil War was really great. I kind of want to get another ticket to go see it again immediately, like this moment, but that's at least in part because the movie got me messed up and I feel weird just in the last few minutes walking around since I left the theatre. It's intense and rather great

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That must be a Montana thing, or perhaps a genuine message from Jesus

Just saw it. I felt the same way walking out of it. I saw it with a friend and he and i decided we’d talk later about it because some unpacking needed done. It wasn’t what i was expecting at all but in a good way

Argo, interested to hear more from you on this. The use of silence in this was effective for me. Especially after they realized what had happened after the Jessie Plemons scene

It's very affecting, really forces focus in a way you can't ignore. I felt the whole thing was really tense and put together so well. All the pieces really fit together and worked for me.

There are maybe a couple moments that are too on the nose or shade into overly dramatic, but that's kind of inevitable and forgivable in a movie like this. I was into the whole thing

please get right with God, Trag

Argo did your showing have some weird “Jesus is coming” ad before the trailers?

My showing did not have this and i live in the south

It's a great cast, especially the two leads (Dunst & Spaeny)

[BurtReynolds]

big fan.

[BurtReynolds]

Dunst is great.

If the Farcry 5 song (AkA the real American anthem) doesn't play before every movie or sporting event, are you even really in Montana?

big fan.

But you know Nick offerman was Trump right

No he was Biden!

[BurtReynolds]

There was one terrific shot early on that stuck with me:

Spoiler: show

It was just a brief one where they were driving down a road and "Go Steelers" was written on the overpass, which drew your eye, but then the vehicle moved you over to the hanging bodies. I loved that!

Is the Guns n Roses song on the soundtrack?
