Film Culture Excursion: CAPTAIN MARVEL

What:

Hi film folks,

As promised to many of you, our next trip will be to the latest superhero blockbuster, CAPTAIN MARVEL, with Oscar-winner Brie Larson taking on the role of one of the Marvel Universe’s most powerful heroes.  Reviews are been reasonably good and the box-office stellar (another nail in the coffin of any arguments about the supposed diminished box office potential of escapist epics featuring female protagonists).  In case you need it, here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1BCujX3pw8.

We’ll be getting tickets to the Saturday 12:25 PM screening at the RAVE  and we’re not charging a co-pay for this one.  Please let us know pretty soon if you want one, because I’ll offer the rest to the House. 

For enrolled folks, we’ll be doing this one like we did FANTASTIC BEASTS last semester.  If you don’t want to wait, you can also see it on your own if you prefer (though on your own dime) and keep a ticket receipt.  We won’t be doing a discussion this time-- instead please email me a written response (only around one well-written page), instead of our usual chat.

Next up will be US, Jordan Peele’s already-acclaimed follow-up to GET OUT.  Stay tuned for that.

 

Chris
