Don't know too much about Turing outside the obvious but I enjoyed the Imitation Game, I don't see Cumberbatch convey emotional vulnerability too often (/ever) and I wasn't sure he could pull it off but he did.

venal Thatcherite cockney wanker stereotype does sound strongly revolting and while being one is sort of more of a daily choice than is being a posho it shouldn't discourage the general denunciation of poshos

Was Cumberbatch's performance as Turing better than working class Derek Jacobi (just checked his wiki hoping he was going to be to make this thing even more 'fun' than it already is, love how his wiki actually states "His family was working class" with a ref to a link to an interview he gave to The Guardian that doesn't work)?

I love that they're going with his real beard. My beard is also a sparsely populated garden of fluff that's thinner than my eyebrow hair, so this magazine cover has just helped drain a fairly substantial reservoir of self-doubt that I've kept dammed up for years

I'm not very fond of Marvel these days so I'm a little bit annoyed that they're doing the property of theirs I like the best and with a promising cast. But I'm curious because I'm sure Marvel will know this requires a stylistic departure from their previous films and I wonder if they can do it. There's little doubt that this will rely heavily upon cgi for valid reasons, so it'll be difficult.

Although that raises the question: how did like 4 of the 6 of the Infinity Gems/Stones wind up on Earth at the same time and the Living Tribunal or Eternity or even Death don't show up and be like WTF PAUSE

I like Doc's hand gestures. Magic on "The Magicians" revolves around sequenced gesturing. Makes it fun to watch, like voguing, or working a Rubik's Cube. Doc's flowery spell language is a treat, though. Lots of '70s Marvel alliteration.

After learning the ways of The Force, Stephen Straangebatch walks around Greenwich Village in civilian clothes, sees a young man making odd and aggressive hand signals, and sets his shoes on fire for lulz. [14]

People are guessing Mikkelsen = Magus? Which seems a weird choice for a Dr. Strange villain. I'm guessing a redesigned Dormammu (or like a pre-Dormammu Dormammu).

No, Chiwetel Ejiofor is playing Mordo.

well that certainly looks like Inception

is there any look that tilda swinton can't effortlessly carry off? this looks like it'll be fun for sure
― a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 09:41 (eight years ago) link
xpost But remember how Inception did that shit for like five minutes and then Nolan pretty much forgot to capture any kind of visual dream logic for the rest of the movie? This thing won't be like that thing.

I'm hoping that half the running time will be like Ant-Man's voyage into the Microverse.
― a very hansom, and smart boy (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 12:37 (eight years ago) link
like all trailers now, that trailer sounds like inception too
― remove butt (abanana), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 12:39 (eight years ago) link
it actually looks like a mash-up of Inception and Batman Begins tbrr
― Number None, Wednesday, 13 April 2016 12:41 (eight years ago) link
BWWAAAAAH......BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Waaaaitaminute...so Marvel has specifically linked that Microverse sequence from Ant-Man with doings in the Doctor Strange movie. What if Mikkelsen's unknown villain is Psycho-Man? Again, weird choice for a Doctor Strange villain. But possible.
― a very hansom, and smart boy (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 12:42 (eight years ago) link
But probably not.

Is that the final trailer? Odd that there's no outer dimensional stuff. I generally don't like these films but I might see this, I like most of the cast but I doubt it will deliver on the psychedelia and juicy orientalism.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 13 April 2016 13:32 (eight years ago) link
no it's a teaser trailer

It's basically the trailer for Batman Begins.

Or, fair enough, just the first half. One of these days one of these movies will find a better way to just get past the origin stuff. I want to say Ant-man, of all things, was more sprightly in this regard than most of them. Or hell, Guardians of the Galaxy got it out of the way quickly.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 13 April 2016 13:36 (eight years ago) link
love that effects shot at 1:21 and how it looks like it's a practical dolly zoom at first
― slam dunk, Wednesday, 13 April 2016 13:48 (eight years ago) link
They said a while back that Doctor Strange was going to be one of the rare 'origin story' MCU movies. Which is fair, since I wager the general public ain't that familiar.

Eh, Guardians pretty much introduced an entire new universe and did OK. The Marvel movies still haven't even properly introduced/motivated/explained Thanos! Are they saving that lil the end?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 13 April 2016 13:56 (eight years ago) link
From what I understand, he isn't showing up again until the next Avengers movie. So, yeah, basically.
― I Pith On Your Quip (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 13:57 (eight years ago) link
Wonder if Marvel are going to do that thing where whichever character is getting a movie becomes extremely important across several comic titles.
