Was very surprised that this is being shown at the Curzon in Soho--didn't think it was "artsy" enough. Maybe I'm wrong about the kind of movie it is ...
Back to the Civil War movie, I am now sold, having read more about it. (I really thought it was a brainless blockbuster like Independence Day or something.) Is it one of those movies that should be seen on IMAX?
WOW. So glad I saw this. The ad campaign really missold this. (And looking at the comments on the imdb site, the lowest scores / most negative comments are from those expecting some action blockbuster, most of whom seem to have missed that keeping the audience in the dark as to the whys and wherefores and cause of the conflict, so they cannot identify with one side over another, is THE FVCKING POINT.)
Woo hoo PP, I have persuaded teenagers to come watch it ( for me, not them) again in the next week.
I saw one reviewer pull out a point I had not considered before . How , amongst all the other points the film makes, the mix of music and (wildly) different film styles throughout the film really really helps frame how you the viewer enjoying a movie about some absolutely horrible horrible things, things that (it reminds the viewer) you should not be so desensitised about.
ie it’s a kind of a head nod that says, yes this is spectacular and slick but the shoite their engaging in really really should horrify you
I hope that makes sense to anyone who has seen it, if you have not seen it yet then it definitely won’t make sense and I’m ok with that

There is no WAY Captain America could take down Iron Man. Sorry. Just not realistic.

If there was another ACW, isn't the idea of TX and CA being on the same side a bit far fetched?

Ah. That went over my head what with the Ironman and captain America references (not familiar with either).
Probably everyone knows this already but Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons married.
Jesse Plemons is so ace.

He played his namesake Jesse in Breaking Bad. The baby-faced extreme right religious zealot who killed the kid during that big train episode.

His character in BB was Todd

Hmm, it's not ringing a bell at all, but it's been years since I watched BB.

Omg Gorlami you’re totally right. Why on earth did I think he was called Jesse?

Jesse Pinkman. That’s why.
Disappointed in myself because Breaking Bad is one of my all-time favourite shows.

Jesse is the co-lead played by Aaron Paul who calls everyone “bitch”

Going to see it this Sunday, cannot wait. Love the whole dystopian future genre.
Also, parents who are in danger of being dragged to that awful kong godzilla film, take headphones- I had a headache within the first five mins.

Kirsten Dunst is fantastic.
