I think I've seen about 6/7

**sunnykerr** · 08-16-2018, 05:09 PM

Captain America, Thor 1, Thor 2, Avengers, Infinity Wars. So I guess Infinity Wars would also be in my top 5 Marvel movies, too.

Oo I've seen a couple more than that

Saw 'Book Club', good film and wonderful cast

**sunnykerr** · 08-17-2018, 03:50 PM

Is Book Club the one with Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and all those ladies? I've had my eye on that one.

The one I'd love to see is Crazy Rich Asians. Both because it looks genuinely up my alley and interesting, but also because I want more diversity in mainstream movies. And by that I mean diversity that goes beyond stereotypes and tropes.

Okay so I saw Bookclub and it was so funny! I really loved it!

**crazy_diamond** · 08-19-2018, 02:03 AM

, great actresses to play the 4 friends

**sunnykerr** · 08-19-2018, 09:35 AM

I'm down for more representation in all movies, whether it is for ethnic minorities or for the wider variety of physical types and ages, you know?

And those are quality actresses. They deserve to be employed in quality roles as long as they freaking want to work.

**crazy_diamond** · 08-19-2018, 12:08 PM

Exactly

I was on a road trip yesterday and we stopped at out favorite store (it's about 2 hours from were I live) and they had Avengers: Infinity War there. I was so shocked, because it doesn't come out until the 27th-28th this month here in Sweden. But this store is known to put out stuff earlier than the official release day. Not sure if they have some sort of agreement that makes it okay that they do that or if they just don't care when it is officially out. But I bought it. I could resist at all. I bought one BluRay for me and one DVD for my brother.

And I saw it again today for the second time now.

Couldn't agree more, it's like with Hollywood, someone reaches a certain age and they believe they're not as bankable as some young actor/actress.

Glad you got to see Infinity War Jessica! It was really awesome!

**sunnykerr** · 08-19-2018, 05:32 PM

Quite frankly the roster of so-called bankable younger actors has a lot of really bad actors in it.

I mean, I get it, generally speaking, teenagers are the ones who spend their money at the movies and so that's the target audience... but I'd rather see Candace Bergen any day of the week over... well, others that shall remain nameless.

Mi||iê Måë · 08-19-2018, 05:50 PM

I so agree, there are so many bad actors they label as bankable and I think seriously?

**sunnykerr** · 08-19-2018, 06:13 PM

A lot of those are actually bankable, so I can understand studios taking advantage of that.

But, yeah, that sucks for those of us who would enjoy seeing more actual talent.

**crazy_diamond** · 08-20-2018, 01:21 AM

indeed...
