The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk

Hmmm .... This opens with The Hulk / Bruce Banner exiled from Earth on a space-craft that is meant to deposit him on a remote and uninhabited planet, before that craft is pulled off-course and through a mysterious wormhole (are there any other kinds?) to a distant - and inhabited - planet.

What follows is, essentially, an off-world retelling of Spartacus, with The Hulk first captured by Imperials, sent to fight in the Arena's, then escaping and leading a revolt (even if, unlike Spartacus this one is successful).

Yes, it has plenty of explosions and battles, but (I hate to say), the entire thing is somewhat bland; never really drawing me in to the story and with no real hook - this is also, very much, a story of The Hulk rather than of Bruce Banner.

When Load first came out I was unsure now after all these years I have grown to love it.
Opening with Ain't my Bitch it was typical high octane Metallica, 2x4 is next and then The House that Jack built, an under rated track, then come the singles Until It Sleeps, Hero of the Day and King Nothing the latter one of Kirk's finest performances.
Then Bleeding Me a track I hated at first but now absolutely adore.
Wasting My Hate and Thorn Within are outside of the formers intro very formulatic.
Next is Mama Said, a heartfelt song that some fans still have issues with.
Then Ronnie which I love.
Outlaw Torn ends the album again like Bleeding Me I started off hating it but over time I have grown to love.

Nick Love recommended Midnight Cowboy (1969) in Movies (curated)

 
Midnight Cowboy (1969)
Midnight Cowboy (1969)
1969 | Classics, Drama

"What touched me about that was the friendship. In a very weird sort of way there are some similarities between my films — probably pretty-much The Firm — and Midnight Cowboy, only inasmuch as it’s a hard world but soft characters. There’s something about that friendship with two people that transcends where the film’s set. I have friendships where you’re like two old women, nagging away at each other, and you kind of hate each other in a lot of ways but you’re inextricably embroiled with one another. That’s what true friendship is, you know. There’s such a tragedy about Midnight Cowboy as well and there’s such an amazing smell of New York in the 70s. It’s one of the few films where it transports you there and you can feel the environment."
