How about a movie thread?

The Trench: DANIEL CRAIG

WW1
On July 1, 1916 the British Army suffered 60.000 casualties.

The worst day in its history.

The movie "The Trench" looks at the what transpired in the British
trench on the day prior to "going over the top".

Watched both 'new' Star Trek movies the last couple of days.

Though I use them in avatars occasionally I'm hardly a trekkie. But I do know the shows pretty well. After all these years I still remember falling asleep as a child to the background noises of the original.

So, the first new one was pretty good (I've seen it before but I was fairly sloshed). I wonder how many hours those guys (gals) studied the original cast, it was pretty true. I'd really like a still of the Enterprise silhouetted against Saturn near the end.

I didn't like 'Into the Darkness' as much, though it was watchable. I liked when Spock shouted 'KHAN!' and when the Enterprise fell through the cloud cover.

It came out back in the summer of '12, but we just watched "Lawless" with Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain. We thought it was quite entertaining and...you briefly get to see Jessica Chastain with her shirt off, which is always a treat.

I consider the new Trek to be brilliant myself. The players are great. One almost forgets Shatner ever existed.

I was also not so keen on into the darkness until I viewed it a second time. It was much better on second viewing.

The new Star Trek is just a poor copy of the old Star Trek, with the brains removed. It's incredible how they dumbed it down. And really sad. Says something about modern audiences!

No fucken way!

The Shat is the Shit.

The Shat is to Star Trek what Sean Connery is to James Bond.

Is the new Star Trek a JJ Abrams production/script?
That guy has great ideas but does not know how to end things well

look at Lost and that spy series with the cute red head....cannot remember the name
Jennifer Garner was the star...too lazy to google.

'The Senator's Wife' with Meryl Streep when it comes out. Harvey Weinstein says, "It'll make the NRA wish they weren't alive!" Sic 'em Harvey!

So you are in favor of removing $6 billion from the revenue stream and putting more than 200,000 people out of work?

Your article left out the statistics on body bags.

How much does that add to the economy?
