It's mediocre at best (so probably in the upper half of films with Chris Hemsworth if we're being completely honest).

I had to Google to realize Daniel Bruhl had ever been in a film with Hemsworth before, but I'm willing to admit Rush is probably better than Thor 2 and the first two Avengers films. Haven't seen Ghostbusters or MiB: International.

I'm honestly surprised people remember Rush exists.

People remember it exists because its a really good movie with a particularly standout performance from Bruhl who nailed Niki Lauda's appearance and mannerisms to an impressive degree.

All of that might be true except the first four words. This is the first time I've been reminded it existed since it came out. I'm American, so maybe it had a bigger impact on the parts of the world that give it poo poo about F1?

I showed it to two of my friends who had absolutely no interest in F1 and they both enjoyed it and got in to the stories of James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

Okay, so Pennyworth episode one is up, I have to say I'm loving the alternate sixties (with blimps and barrage balloons) vibe. Jason Flemyng's overcoat is also top-shelf.

He's playing off the superhero/cops tensions of the Keene act from the original books. Every single thing we see
in the Comic Con trailer feels like an inversion or a twist on things that seep from the events of Watchmen. White supremacists
put on Rorschach masks to kill the cops (something that seems to happen in the Regina King character's backstory),
now the cops go masked to protect their identities--it's further ripple effects of how the existence of superheroes affected
"the real world".
