The moment Gal Gadot climbed up out of that hole in full WW regalia, I actually began to cry. I just remembered how often I used to spin myself dizzy in the backyard as a kid while singing the WW theme song. Agree 100 percent that she is pitch perfect for the role. I'd never heard of her before she was cast and now I want to have her baby. Which I don't have to do because this chick was PREGNANT when she was filming. #FemalesAreStrongAsHell

 

Chris Pine has certainly found his niche in the sci-fi verse as the brave boy scout willing to sacrifice it all in the name of goodness. I like the way they managed to include a little diversity where they could. The character of Chief was an especially nice touch given the role of Native Americans during WWI. It even made me like Connie Nielsen which I haven't been able to do since her stint on Law & Order: SVU and Robin Wright was fierce.

 

I had some issues with the film but they were minor and more about my issues with the genre overall.

 

And dark as this may sound, I'm so glad we made it through opening weekend without a shooting. Given some of the MRA poutrage, I was terrified we'd have another Dark Knight on our hands.

Perhaps she was perfect for the role but I found her minimally talented and dull. GG should get acting lessons and work on being naturally present. Too bad Robin Wright expired so soon in the movie. 

 

The movie was visually stunning but that was it for me.

The movie has been released in North America, and like TV shows, we don't have to tag spoilers once it's "been aired."  People should know not to go into threads if they haven't watched it yet.  Spoilers tags should be used if shows/movies haven't aired yet/been released. 

 

 

And yes, there is discussion about scenes below, just a warning. 

 

 

That is my favourite scene in the movie. She finally can't take it anymore, can't take how she's being told that she can't help right now, they have to keep going.  She stops and tells them that she's going to go do something about this, she's going to help those people.  Then the slow-mo as she unties her hair and her coat comes off, and the music kicks in as she climbs up the ladder, and starts to take on the Germans, and everyone is like, "WTF is she doing?"........"Let's go help her!"   So damn good!

 

 

I liked the comradery between the four guys and WW.  That was another positive aspect of the movie.

I agree except...the recent posts sidebar makes it impossible to avoid spoilers even if they are tagged. I'm not a spoilerphobe but I know how many times I inadvertently learned about a show development just because I had the misfortune of bad timing. If we could get rid of that sidebar spoilers would pretty much be a non issue, IMO.

@marceline@Vee  It's the same thing when people posts in the Spoiler forum, or when people talk about shows after it's aired.   Unfortunately, I can't do anything about those side posts.  I wish we still had the option to remove that part of the board like we did before but the new versions don't allow it.  You just have to train your eyes to not look over the far right - it becomes instinctual after a while.

I agree with this.

 

Work schedule messes with my Y&R viewing and most of what I see in the sidebar is from that thread (go, Y&R for getting us talking!!!!) and I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. lol.

 

Same about wanting to watch WW. I thought they perfectly nailed who she is...modest WW comic fan here.

So can somebody tell me if I should wait till it comes out and plays on cable and spend money on another movie or should I go and see it? I loved newly Beauty and The Beast. I also loved Wonder Woman but the Linda Carter series.

    • THE ROAD OF LIFE from 12-13-1984 to 7-1-1955. But this soap had been on radio & very popular from as far back as 1937. Then in 1954 P&G suggested to Irna Phillips that she develop this project for television & P&G would sponsor it. It may have been the beginnings of the sponsor-owned soaps.
    • SOD Where Are They Now? She left daytime more than 25 years ago, but GUIDING LIGHT fans have not forgotten Lynne Adams (ex-Leslie, GUIDING LIGHT, 1963-71; 1973-76; ex-Amy, SECRET STORM, 1971-72). She's one of Digest's most frequently requested "what ever happened to...." GL alums — a pleasant surprise to the actress. "I'm really flattered," she smiles, then admits that fans still occasionally recognize Leslie Jackson Bauer Norris Bauer. "It's amazing because I haven't done it for so many years." By Melissa Scardaville   The years that she did spend there were good ones. "My main memory is of all the women I knew on the show, like Charita [Bauer, ex-Bert], and Fran Myers [ex-Peggy] used to be a great friend of mine." Adams's main storyline — the tortured triangle of Mike/Leslie/Ed — was also a bright spot. "I really enjoyed doing it, until the character got married [to Mike] and she was happy." That, in turn, was the impetus for Adams to leave. "The character got boring, frankly," she shares. "It was very conservative and boring and happy. Not that happy is bad; happy is great, but it's not that great on a soap opera. You want to have some conflict and drama, and her biggest drama was that she was worried that her stepdaughter was going to get involved with some guy. It just wasn't interesting, so I left."   GL has ties to Adams's current project, Made-Up, a comedy about our culture of beauty that she wrote, starred in (with her sister, Brooke Adams, as well as brother-in-law Tony Shalhoub and Eva Amurri) and produced with Sister Films, a company she founded with Brooke. "The whole time I was on GUIDING LIGHT, I used to dye my hair because I went white when I was about 16," she shares. "After I had been off the soap for a while, I let my hair go, and it was shocking the difference in the way people treated me. You feel like you've disappeared and you're not a viable person somehow. Then, I would go to an audition wearing a wig, and suddenly it was a whole different story again."   That experience led her to write a one-woman show, Two-Faced, which she performed for nine years. Adams then embarked upon the arduous task of taking a version of the play to the screen — "One time, we had the $5 million in the bank and Kevin Kline couldn't do it and all the money fell apart." But, thanks to her husband, George Fifield, a media arts curator, she eventually got it shot on video as a mockumentary. "It's a movie that people who used to know me would love to see," she notes. To check if the film is coming to your area, log onto www.madeupthemovie.com. Adams also points out, "If you click 'Contact,' that [e-mail] comes to me, and I'll answer it."   Sure, her plate is full now, but would Adams ever return to soaps? "If you had asked me two years ago, I would have said yes. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said no. Right now, I live in Boston, so that would make it kind of impossible," she chuckles. "But I loved doing soaps. It was a hard job, but it was really fun. I used to have some relationships with some of the people who watched the show who would write to me. I miss all that."
    • Thank you for this!  My guess is that they had actresses audition as backup in case Tunie said no. Debbi Morgan mentioned she was asked but turned them down and I imagine it was likely for Anita as well. I love that they sent her a letter acknowledging her advocacy.  I hope that down the line they consider her for another role. We need two Articulettes! 
    • Very interesting - thanks, @P.J. and @DeeVee!  This makes me want to go back in time and start my watch at '89. I think I'm going to power through just a little more of '96 right now just to see A-M/Lucy marry (so I can see their happy ending), how Phillip enters the picture, more of Alex vs. Amanda (because that's so funny/amusing to me), and what happens to Blake's twin babies (the only things really keeping me going right now).
    • Today marks the 139th anniversary of Emily Dickinson’s death. She died on May 15, 1886 at the age of 55. WalMart has said their prices are going up. As ideas go, I am againsr this one.
