Dunkirk

[Pinetree]

New film from Christopher Nolan coming out next year. This looks awesome:

[Sir Slash]

I'm in. 

[bob48]

I've been.

[Dammit Carl!]

Interesting.  Can't say I've ever even thought of looking for information / books dealing with the BEF and its fight and withdrawal from Europe in '40.  Need to fix that.

[Martok]

Saw the teaser trailer for this...last week, I think?  Looks good. 

[Sir Slash]

Is that Tom Hardy in a German fighter? Isn't he supposed to only fly Monster Trucks with guys swinging on long poles attached?

[Pinetree]

I'm pretty sure it's a Spitfire he's in.

[JudgeDredd]

It was definitely a Spitfire he was in  O0

My concern is if they take the easy way out and portray the BEF commander, Gort, as a boob.
He was in over his head and overwhelmed by the blitzkrieg, like all the allied generals.
But he did take the really hard decision to pull back and save the army when he recognized the full situation.  He'll probably be portrayed as a simpering moron who cuts and runs when things get tough.

I hope Hardy talks in the Bane voice through the entire movie.

He did ok in charge of Malta afterwards.

That there would make it worth putting up with all the likely improbably acrobatic CGI Stukas in the movie.

"Let's not stand on ceremony here...Mr Churchill."

[Sir Slash]

Gort in command? You got to be kidding. Wasn't he the giant space robot from, "The Day The Earth Stood Still"?  If he was in command, the Germans would've never gotten across the Meuse much less to the Channel. He would have just vaporized them. Honestly, sometimes you guys come-up with the craziest things.

Tom Hardy arrives to address his commander, in Bane-voice: "Klaatu... barada... COUGHcoughcoughcough {looks around} Well! That's it, then!"
