These types of movies used to be colorful and vibrant. I miss color.

I'm not sure if this or Damon yelling "Let's go!" to his troops like it's a UFC press conference is more jarring

ain't nothin wrong with taking liberties with a work of fiction. completely modernize it for all i care, as long as it's well done (not too rare, because it can make you sick)

Let’s just say if Damon asks Cylops if he likes apples, I won’t be shocked.

Can I just say that I’m impressed with Argo’s history chops? Dropping in a phrase like Mycenaean Greek was impressive.

Also Jon Berenthal always reminds me of that one predatory frat brother who talks like he’s all feminist during the day but everyone knows 1) it’s bologna and 2) he’d maybe beat them up if they pointed it out.

Quit Tragging up the thread, fatty. Go talk about something that does appeal to you.

Me too. Probably at the theater just because there’s hardly anything remotely appealing that’s showing

Expectations very much tempered though.

Actual footage of Burt every time a black woman is cast in a movie.
