"You don't talk much," Robin notes, eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of those...Things. The sun illuminates most of the dilapidated highway and barren, wilted fields on either side. It would be easy for either of the two to spot one, but then again, that was a double-edged sword, and with how fast those things could move... It was a good chance that if the creatures spotted the trailer-towing van they would tear it to shreds faster than they could escape. Nancy humms in false thought, momentarily bringing Robin's eyes away from the scenery around them.
"Not a fan."
"What, of talking?" Nancy glances away from the road, a look mixed half of genuine questioning and annoyance.
"Not a fan of talking, no." She responds finally, adjusting her grip on the steering wheel, and Robin couldn't help the flutter of relief and something else entirely in her chest when the frizzy-haired brunette finally drew away her gaze.
"You know," Robin wasn't sure where she was going with this. Nancy seems more annoyed than usual, and it wasn't like they hadn't had this conversation before. "You do talk to me. Eventually." She was rewarded with the small chuckle it drew from the woman driving, albeit dry.
"Do I?"
"Oh yeah," Robin smirks. "It's usually around Lyons." She looks down in thought, fiddles with the immense amount of rings on her fingers. "You tell me about the time you went there with your family."
Nancy looks back at her, drawing the taller woman's gaze back up to her crystal eyes.
"Your brother got lost," She continues and Nancy looks away again, biting her lower lip lightly.
"I've never been to Lyons." Oh, the multiple times you've said so would suggest otherwise.
"You tell me your middle name; Danielle." She says it almost like a question, knowing full well that that piece of information had never been disclosed to her. Nancy's answer is harsher than before, quicker, almost like she knows the game Robin's playing.
"That's not my middle name." It's so quiet, almost a whisper, but the murmur carries through the entire van with ease. Robin almost leaves it at that, but something about Nancy's expression makes it impossible to keep her damn mouth shut.
"You find your brother in the arcade, by the way. 'Mike', you said. "
"Maybe I said it all just to keep you quiet."
"But," Robin sighs, "You do talk to me."
"Buckley, I do not need to get to know you." She huffs. "Saving the world doesn't necessarily require deep, personal connection, and," Her eyes darken, brows furrowing in a way that has Robin leaning closer, studying the guise as if it was the last thing she would see on Earth. "And if you knew what was good for you, you wouldn't want to get to know me. It's the only way you get through this...whatever this is."
And because Robin just can't seem to let something go, she whispers again, not meeting Nancy's gaze.
"What about Holland? You get to know him?"
The van screeches to a halt and Nancy whirles around on the soldier.
"How..." Even through the anger, Robin can see the tears filling Nancy's eyes. "How do you know that name?"
She swallows, genuinely wondering if this conversation would lead to another reset.
"You mentioned him."
"That's not possible."
"Then how do I know his name?"
"When..." Nancy pinches the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes. "When did I mention her? Under what circumstance-"
"Her?"
"When, Buckley?" But Robin's brain was still on a continuous loop.
Her. Her. Her.
"Is she the reason you won't talk to me?" She whispers finally, and maybe it was the sincerity in her voice that had Nancy sighing, turning her pricing blue eyes away and back to the road.
"Don't ever mention her name again." Her tone was harsh, but Robin didn't miss the single tear that fell after the shorter woman blinked.
"Why," Her voice cracked. "Are you..." She trails off, because she had originally been going to ask "Are you in love with him?" But...
Her. Her. Her.
"She's dead." Is what she settles on. It's not a soft answer, not a kind one, but she says it without a hint of bitterness.
Nancy only nods.
"I watched her die 300 times over and I remember every single detail." The "I couldn't save her" remains unspoken, but Robin understands.
"I'm sorry," She offers, and Nancy meets her delicate gaze. "You don't, you don't have to talk about it."
"It's fine." The answer is short, clipped. It's said in a way that means finality, but it's Nancy who continues after.
"It's just war."

EDGE OF TOMORROW 2014
Battle is the Great Redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Tumblr media
There have been some successful video-game-to-movie adaptations made here and there. Out of all of them, Edge of Tomorrow is the best… even though it isn’t actually based on a game. It’s hard to explain but you’ll see what I mean if you read on.
After an arduous struggle against alien invaders called Mimics, mankind has finally managed to hold their advance and now, we’re getting ready to counter-attack. When Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is ordered to head into battle by his superiors, he tries to unsuccessfully blackmail his way out of combat, is knocked unconscious and sent to the front lines as punishment. The campaign is a disaster. Within minutes, everyone, including Cage, is dead. That’s when he wakes up. Something happened to him and now he relives that attack over and over.
Based on the Japanese novel All You Need is Kill (which is actually a much better title), this movie takes you by surprise. I had to spoil the premise to get you intrigued, but if you didn’t know, you’d be scratching your head from the beginning. Tom Cruise playing a coward who gets bumped off minutes in? Even when he wakes up alive again, he’s still a wimp who desperately wants to avoid the battlefield. Didn’t see that coming. What follows is a hybrid of Starship Troopers and Groundhog Day. Like in a video game, everyone - Mimic and human alike - ends up at the same spot, does the same thing, and has the same lines to say unless Cage does something to move them. This allows him to strategize and through trial and error, become impossibly skilled. This means you’ll get many hilarious scenes as he tries to get to that one place at the right time… only to fail and die horribly. You’ll also see mind-blowing sequences in which he effortlessly blows legions of opponents away, firing behind him in exactly the right spot to ensure a kill shot and dodging projectiles like he’s got eyes on the back of his head.
The time loop mechanic is just one aspect of the film. The truth is, no matter how good you are at firing a gun, you’ll eventually run out of bullets. A single man could never take down an entire invasion on his own. As we get deeper into the plot, we move away from the chaos of the war zone and towards the big question. Why is this happening? How does Cage break the loop? The answers lie in Sergeant Rita Vrataski, the “Full Metal Bitch” (Emily Blunt). She’s the opposite of Cage. Cool, collected, brave and highly skilled. Too bad the time power thing was given to the slimy noodle instead of her…
Edge of Tomorrow is a blast. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, and then it switches into action mode. The battles are the kind that makes other films look wimpy by comparison. Not only are the actors doing their own stunts but all of the combat is creative and expertly directed. We get plenty of satisfying character moments and growth, which is expected in this type of film, but the way the screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth does it is unexpected. A large chunk of the film is about two people, one of which can change, and the other cannot, at least not in the same way.
The plot moves quickly, there are many memorable lines and moments, you love digging into the mystery and the special effects are top-notch. There’s so much of it to like you start second-guessing yourself. “Is this movie really this awesome, or am I crazy?” Your gut instinct is correct. “Awesome” is the perfect word. The ending might seem a little too clean for some but a key line in the film sets it up and you’ve got to give this picture credit for truly understanding just how powerful a tool time travel is.
Following a so-so run at the box office, Edge of Tomorrow was rebranded as Live. Die. Repeat on home video. Now, it's just waiting to be discovered. Seek it out and you’ll have a blast. (On Blu-ray, April 19, 2019)
