i highly recommend reading this article after you watch civil war

and perhaps we should watch red dawn as the author suggests, to compare it to civil war. or lmao watch the fucking marvel movie sure why not

I still want to watch Black Adam sooner or later LMAO no MCU for me. At least the DCEU movies don't seem to have any actual connection so you don't have to watch 30 movies to be up to date like a fucking soap opera.

i don't think you know much background for MCU civil war, which makes it one of the good ones

The original Red Dawn scared the shit out of me as a kid. The opening with the teacher being gunned down then kids literally fighting against terrorists??

I watched Civil War last night and may join in tonight but weirdly I’m actually tired before 3am.

oh no what time zone are you in?

Eastern. Tempted to go for a walk and down a Diet Coke 😆

i've been trying to get the crew to start at 8!

I think 9 is normally fine! I actually just tried joining but HBO is being a dick and keeps saying there’s an error when I try to log in (it’s fine on my phone and firestick).

Edit; I’m in!!

Edit 2: or maybe not. I click on the teleparty link but it just plays the movie, doesn’t bring me to the actual party 😞

Red Dawn doesn't work - Cinemax upgrade only :(

On my second watch of civil war, I found it to be very political and very critical of journalists actually.
