Watching Mortal Engines-
- spoilers ahead -
The cities on wheels is kind of neat.
Hugo Weaving, you are looking as lovely as always.
The woman with his last name, a sister?
Nope, daughter, yup, thanks for reaffirming my age bracket. I'll take attractive, evil father figures for 100, Alex.
Oh, "everything to feed the engines" well, that's where the final fight takes place, with hot, evil dad falling in.
Ah, I see we have an Adora situation where innocent privileged girl learns her dad and his ilk are, in fact, the bad guys.
KLAUS is in this! Damn, his American accent is good (as I had no idea he wasn't.)
As yes, just a small abdominal stab wound, do keep running around.
I'm getting falling-down-Bespin vibes.
So, instead of shooting the one solitary confinement cube we're just going to drown the whole prison. Ok.
Is he her dad?
Oh, the device in her necklace is a shut down key for the "power" source.
Oh, the creepy older people are bad people.
A suit made of buttons, neat.
Anna Fang shows up - a new gender has entered the game. Damn, her whole style is amazing.
None of these catwalks are Osha approved.
Ah the subtle gaze towards the lips.
Bridgerton?
Oh, well done timing of the revelation of what Valentine is building. But really, y'all two walked 1000 steps and aren't winded?
Yup, called it with the necklace.
Bobby! (The Expanse)
"You control nothing." Oh, Oldest, evilest white guy is actually right.
Am I in tears for an immortal robot man? Yes, yes I am.
A shield wall, huh? Gurney, prepare the atomics, let's let the desert in.
"When this body is done, throw my ashes to the wind." Damn, this movie did not come to play.
Preemptive strike, Thrawn would be proud.
Oh hey, praying to Medusa. The eye! Put it together woman!
So here's the deal, I need to be with a ragtag group of frighters taking on the bigger enemy and I send the infiltration crew off to do "the important thing." And I need to have the moment where I tell them, "go on my signal."
And the unlikely leader of that group asks the pivotal question. "What's the signal, how will I know?"
To which I respond, large grin on my face, "oh, you'll know."
Yes, I needs it.
Ah, the convenient 60 second countdown.
I mean, cool fight, but not a great "You'll know." I give it a 6 out of 10 at best.
M.E.D. U.S.A. very nice.
Look, I knew it had to do something with the engines.
That was a very good ending. And no kiss! Pleasantly surprised. Yeah, a good movie. I enjoyed that.
A thank you to niku30_ on Instagram for the recommendation.
I could be persuaded to watch that again.

tom holland memes aside, i have some hope that zelda wont have too crazy of a celebrity cast. it would just be way more distracting in a live-action movie. mario can get away with it, both because its animated and because its a goofier franchise. zelda really can't.
given the marvel comparisons with the producer - i have to give marvel a bit of credit here. yes, really. i know, very tragic. but one thing about marvel movies is that, to their sincere credit, in MOST cases, they dont pick someone who was already an A-lister.
i know that sounds crazy, given how many celebrities are associated with marvel - but think about it. they usually pick someone whos good for the role, who then becomes an A-lister after the movie. just because those movies are so damn big.
like. who was chris evans before marvel? the guy who played lucas lee in scott pilgrim? who was scarlett johansson? brie larson? chris hemsworth?
these people are all A-listers NOW, yes. obviously. but they werent before their marvel roles. so hopefully, zelda will be the same story. i dont think we will have a "jason momoa as ganondorf" situation.
