FINALLY saw "Dunkirk" last night. (Tiny, tiny spoiler).

Got off work early at 9:30 pm and took my boys to the 10:00 p.m., 70 mm showing. We were all floored. I'm a glider pilot and aviation and history buff and that was the best recreated dog-fighting I've ever seen. I'll want to see it again, as we missed the first ten minutes. And, as a glider pilot I say, who needs a stinking engine anyway!

Brilliant, but glad I went with someone who could explain some stuff to me later. Roughly halfway through, however, it occurred to me that after it was over I would really need a drink.
