I love Angry Bruce, but Jeremy Irons might steal the show.

Worlds colliding.

The actress is that bad?

Pied Piper's returning.

Man, I think that was before I came here.

The Passion of Joan of Arc - Everything that's said about it is true. It looks like no other film, and Renée Falconetti's performance is one of the most powerful you can ever watch. It's a genuine masterpiece. High Noon - A retired marshal stays in town to face a gang seeking revenge when he could have escaped, only to discover that the townspeople don't care about honor or him. Surprisingly cynical for a 50s western; Lon Chaney Jr. has probably one of his best acting moments giving a monologue about how being a sheriff was pointless. It takes place in approximate real time, so you really feel the tension in each shot of a clock ticking closer to noon. It also does the trick of re-purposing the theme song for most of the score, which I always find interesting. Django - The opening of Django dragging the coffin behind him with the theme song blasting is a top tier introduction to a film. In a lot of films, you'd find out what's in the coffin at the end; not in Django, you find out about 35 minutes in. After that, it twists and turns to the showdown it was destined to end with. Ten people die within the first five minutes, and the violence doesn't let up an inch. The last shot is beautiful. The Hellbenders - A Confederate colonel and his three sons massacre a Union outfit transporting $1 million. They steal the money and hide it in a coffin, planning to use it to reignite the Confederate cause. The film follows them trying to navigate various obstacles on the way home, with a woman playing a military widow giving them a cover (they end up needing another widow). It's not as violent as Django, with more thematic concerns such as using causes to justify evil, nature vs. nurture, and the racism that still existed in the Union. Joseph Cotten gets a great late career role as the colonel, showcasing a hard edge that he rarely got to exhibit in Hollywood. Films: 38

My interest is piqued now.

"Punisher 89 had a clear idea of what it was doing, set up stakes for Punisher to overcome in the face of overwhelming violence and featured some very cool action sequences for that day and age." War Zone had him overcoming doubt in his black and white worldview and dealing with Jigsaw, with some very cool action sequences. "And Punisher was made vulnerable insofar that he was captured at least once." He's emotionally vulnerable throughout War Zone. He's also covered in body armor, with a full armory and a basement full of files for people he's killed. Does him being physically vulnerable really matter? "Jeroen Krabbe is a better, more nuanced villain than Jigsaw." Krabbe does a good job with the role, but he's a crime boss with crime boss problems. I agree that Kim Miyori's Lady Tanaka is interesting, as women rarely get to be villains, and the one-on-one fight between her daughter and The Punisher is one of the best parts of the movie. And hey, Jigsaw does his share of generic crime boss stuff too, but the performance and beats like the recruitment really make him standout. Like I said, to each their own, but you're a lot more forgiving of the comic book elements of '89 (like the ninjas) than the ones in War Zone. And if I can't buy your argument, then I'm going to buy all the land around your argument!

It's possible, and is a clean way of avoiding continuity questions.

I hope they can squeeze in Joe reacting to Supergirl flying.

The Flash is officially going to appear in an episode of Supergirl.

Yeah, I don't buy your argument. Punisher '89 is a decent '80s action movie, but I don't see anything in it that would make it an 8/10. I think you really shortchanged Lexi Alexander's direction; it's not confused, it's very clear in it that the exaggerated elements are on purpose, and, considering you're a fan of the rocket scene, successful. On that note, I also don't get how the ideas are half-formed, especially when the previous two didn't put any effort into trying to do something greater with the material like War Zone's satire. I think Dolph Lundgren's corpse-like appearance works for the Punisher, but there's no contest between him and Stevenson; the scene at the gravestone has more emotion than anything in '89. I also think Jigsaw is a much better villain than you do, but that's more subjective than the other elements. And on a pure visual level, I don't see how '89 stands out, on its own or next to War Zone.

Maybe, but this show isn't equipped to handle it.

Wow. I mean, I don't think you need to come away believing it's the greatest movie of all time, but...wow.

So wrong. Talk of women and children being thrown into furnaces, visuals of camps and mass graves. And the White Martian character in the episode took the identity of an anti-alien black woman.

The Holocaust overtones to J'onn's backstory in last week's episode were fucked up.
