    This Is War
    If this is a joke about the Chris Pine/Tom Hardy/Reese Witherspoon movie, it was called This Means War.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I thought he meant that quasi-sequel to Grosse Point Blank?

    No, I think that's Lord of War.

    Black Hawk Down?
    This is a good one too and another I'd forgotten about. (Maybe more interesting because it's an event that made the news and inspired deep reporting, but wasn't historically significant.)

    Nolan has been growing on me with his last few movies. I think he's great at relentless spectacle. This should be good.
    I'm with you on the appeal of Nolan's relentless spectacle --- something like Interstellar had that in spades --- but I wonder how that'll translate to a war movie, especially a war movie with a sensitive subject like Dunkirk.

    My fear is that this'll play like the final battle scene from Saving Private Ryan, but for 2 and a half hours, and afterwards I'll stumble out of the theater, ears ringing and shell-shocked.

    You're thinking of Punisher: War Zone.

    Is Sunday Bloody Sunday considered a war movie?

    Looks like a well made harrowing gut wrenching war film.

    Still utterly disinterested.

    I like that trailer much better than the first. Looks very engaging to me.

If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I don't know who Harry Styles is. And I'm glad to keep it that way.

    107 minutes.

    Nolan's shortest since Memento.

    A Nolan movie under 2 hours? Double approve.

    I'm actually dissapointed with that runtime. Movie history has shown that war epics are never shorter than 2 hours. Dunkirk doesn't strike me as a 107 minute film.

    Yeah, it's weird that it's supposed to be a war epic with that runtime. But still, all of Nolan's movies could be shorter. And be written and directed by more talented people.
