Yes.

I saw the original French version (didn't even know there was a Hollywood version). Enjoyed it very much too.

Ed Pinkney wrote:I went and saw Dunkirk last night. I thought it was really good, pretty intense from pretty much the opening scene, amazing visually, interesting way of telling the story, Hans Zimmer's score.

Nolan seems to cop a bit of a beating from critics and Internet loud mouths at times for pretty nitpicky stuff. In the age of the reboot/sequel/remake/prequel, I applaud anyone who makes original, interesting, technically impressive movies even if they have a few flaws (I do see a slight irony in that comment since Nolan made three Batman movies). I thoroughly enjoyed Interstellar as well.

Zimmer is God; plain and simple. Score had my heartbeat racing while nobody was talking. I enjoyed that the dialogue was muted. Didn't need a lot of talking to carry the story. The quiet understanding of the English soldier and the French soldier who were just simply trying to survive and how they looked out for each other without even speaking. Just a simple look or a nod was all they needed to communicate because they were always thinking the same thing. Nolan pretty much had me at Memento and now his name is all I need to know about a movie in determining if I will see it.

Powering through books this summer.

Don Winslow's The Force is the novel equivalent of The Shield.

Brilliant crime writer. Top tier. His stuff transcends genre by a good margin.

Missandei has nice boobies.

Spoiler:
That awayforthelads guy that allegedly worked on the show and who went viral for dropping bombs on reddit is 100% legit. Guy spelled out the whole season like 9 months ago and it is batting 1.000 right now. OBVIOUSLY don't google that if you don't want to know, but he posted some earthshakers. Hold on tight.

They cast Euron so **** poorly. Pisses me off. That last scene last night would have been 100000000% better with book Euron. The guy playing him looks more like Victarion.

Assuming this is a joke but I had a huge crush on her when I was young (they played the Avengers on some weird channel growing up in NE).

She's also a badass.

Just finished watching Stranger Things season 1 on NetFlix.

Great series and would recommend for anyone into 80s-style mystery, supernatural stuff.

Attack on Titan season 2 is now on Adult Swim. Season 1 without dub on Netflix. Epic show.
