Road to Perdition was also a great comic book movie.

I never read the comics, but I hated the movie. Sorry, man.

It's not for everyone. I get that.

I didn't realize it was a comic book movie until many years after the fact.

Yep, and the comic was inspired directly by the Lone Wolf and Cub manga, so in a way, it's a comic book movie of a manga comic book.

I finally got around to seeing "Hidden Figures" this weekend. It was an excellent film and I highly recommend it to anyone with any interest in the space race, civil rights, women's rights, or history in general. It does not shy away from any of the casual racism and sexism of the era.

idk, I'm more into overt racism and sexism, tbh

Good to know. I've been very interested in checking this one out since seeing the first previews.

Oh, it's very overt. It's just super casual. Sort of "that's just the way the world works".

Sounds like a real time warp, then. Always enjoy when a movie can nail its period.
