1984 was the best year for film.
You can fight me on this, if you want to lose.
1984 had: Buckaroo Banzai, Amadeus, Beverly Hills Cop, Dreamscape, Dune, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Ice Pirates, Temple of Doom, Johnny Dangerously, The Karate Kid, The Last Starfighter, @TheMuppets Take Manhattan, The Natural, The Neverending Story, Night of the Comet …

Naturally, you are seeing people come around to the realization that it is unwise to argue with Mr. Rick Swift. We just had American Horror Story dedicate an entire season to 1984, and now D.C. is banking on all us eighties kids hopping on our mental mongooses as we will definitely be checking this one out in the theater.
Truth be told, this one should really be watched at a mall – if you can find one with a theater. There are still a few out there.
Last June they splashed the NET with #WW84 and nerds like me went nuts for it.
If you have followed me for awhile, you know I am not a super fan of the DCU. I prefer Marvel, but there are a few rare gems in the DCU that get a rise out of me.
I enjoyed Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. I wouldn’t say I loathe Ben Affleck as Batman, but he is my least favorite – so far, there is still time for the Sparkling Knight to take the top spot of WORST BATMAN EVER!
But as we all know, a comic book movie is only ever as good as the villains that get to show off their stuff. So, the only hesitation I have for WW84 is who they are getting to play the lead villain, Kristen Wiig.
I know she can be funny, but can she be evil? Will she make a good Cheetah? What say you?
Official Synopsis:
Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah.
With director Patty Jenkins back at the helm and Gal Gadot returning in the title role, “Wonder Woman 1984” is Warner Bros. Pictures’ follow up to the DC Super Hero’s first outing, 2017’s record-breaking “Wonder Woman,” which took in $822 million at the worldwide box office. The film also stars Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Kristen Wiig as The Cheetah, Pedro Pascal as Max Lord, Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta.
Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot and Stephen Jones are producing the film. Rebecca Steel Roven Oakley, Richard Suckle, Marianne Jenkins, Geoff Johns, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo and Wesley Coller are the executive producers.
Patty Jenkins directed from a screenplay she wrote with Geoff Johns & David Callaham, story by Jenkins & Johns, based on characters from DC. Joining the director behind the scenes are several members of her “Wonder Woman” team, including director of photography Matthew Jensen, Oscar-nominated production designer Aline Bonetto (“Amélie”), and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”). Oscar-nominated editor Richard Pearson (“United 93”) is cutting the film. The music is by Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer (“Dunkirk,” “The Lion King”).
