Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2: Not as fresh as the first one, but the characters get fleshed out a little better. And Baby Groot gets all the feels. A solid "B." But I'd go back to see Logan before I would this.
ET, with the NY Phil playing the score. It's a long time since I saw that movie, but darn, it's still good! Full of feels. And added bonus time-capsule-of-1982-suburbia. Today you'd never let the kids do almost any of the things that were normal back then!
(But you know -- a live orchestra playing the soundtrack sounds exactly like ... the soundtrack. Not a significant enhancement at all. This is apparently a thing the NY Phil does now, I assume because it brings new people into the hall, but IMO it's not really worth the expense. I'd rather hear them play proper orchestral repertoire, and watch the movie on a nice big TV.)
Calla Lily, I FINALLY got around to seeing Troll Hunter last night. I LOVED it. Such a fun movie. And OMG I want to go to Norway! So beautiful!!!
The Dude abides...
(Was it really set in the sixties? It was made in the 90s & I thought it was set around then, but I may be misremembering.)
Yup, the sixtees.
I have to admit you are right, benbenberi. Not because of the Wikipedia article, but because I remembered there were references to the Gulf War in the movie. If it wasn't for that, it would be pretty tough believing it wasn't set in the sixtees. What it doubtless did do, though, was take viewers back to the sixtees.
