Love the movies or cinema or films? How about cinematography, production deals, or trailers? This is the headcycle to talk about movies.

"We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls. They allow us to enter other minds, not simply in the sense of identifying with the characters, although that is an important part of it, but by seeing the world as another person sees it."
-- Roger Ebert

A Lesson Learned (self.movies)

save ⋅ share

O.k., I pushed the envelope too far.
As I previously posted, I enjoyed Captain America, The Civil War.
Yesterday I watched Dr. Strange.
Marvel has jumped the shark.
Dr. Strange came after my infatuation with flawed wise cracking comic book heroes,
As such I was unfamiliar with him.
I wish I could say that today.
I found Dr. Strange to be shoddy mysticism, dime store philosophy wrapped in aconfusing manipulation of thspace time continuum.
How did this movie get a 91 from Rotten Tomatoes?

Marvel has jumped the shark

As I said before I'm not really into comic book or superhero movies but the reviews for Dr. Strange are all over the place.

I did checkout Deadpool since everyone was raving about it and the "wise cracking comic book hero" thing was definitely in effect...I still don't get it.
