Doctor Strange (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Magic)

The key for me was that before he looked for glory for himself. Everything he did was for his benefit. His gambit to be killed thousands of times to save the earth was a purely selfless task. If it failed the earth would still be safe but no-one would ever know the sacrifice he made. Even in success he still had to die painfully a lot. That was his journey

I may be misremembering but wasn't the idea that they were given as some kind of token gesture to appease Dormammu? I certainly never got the impression that it was a frivolous 'fuck these guys' sort of thing.

I think the film would have been improved by having Bergerac turn up at the end to solve the mystery.

Possibly - although Dormammu didn't ask for them, or say anything about wanting anything other than out of the loop.

I'm not that bothered by it to be honest, more that it all relies on Dormammu keeping his word.

I'd suspect that Strange is depending on Dormammu not wanting to wind up back in a time-loop again now that Strange has demonstrated a) the capability (via Infinity Stone, admittedly) and b) the will to inflict it on him.

It.

Whatever.

The lagging titles version. I had no idea Jersey was so close to France. Why has France never made more fuss about who it belongs to?

Everyone talks about SkyNet blah-blah, but they never mention the futuristic equivalent of a robotic Bergerac, do they?

Maybe that's why they never mention it.

Bloody French, with their colonial ownership of robot islands.

What if they're planning something?  Do they have Robot Wars in France?

If they do, I bet they call it something else, the sneaky bastards.

Then all they have to do is go over and kidnap Robot Bergerac, and the endgame for Europe looms.

This film is a weird thing. I watched it a little under a week ago, left the cinema a little underwhelmed at the plot but having enjoyed the effects.

Now a friend of mine wants to go see a showing in a week or two and I'm suddenly really really excited at getting to see it again.
