Lightyear wasn't the worst. My kids liked it and it didn't make me want to curl up and die watching it with them. I think we sometimes forget who the primary audience is supposed to be for these things.

I have tickets to see it Thursday and I'm pretty excited! It seems like one of those things I'd regret not seeing on the big screen.

That’s the one I was thinking of, but even the others did a good job getting butts back in seats even if it wasn't yet the numbers from pre-covid.

I appreciate them sitting on it instead of pretending there wasn’t a raging pandemic going on at the time. However I do think we need to give Marvel a teeny tiny bit of credit here when it comes to lifeboats for theaters navigating covid. I think for the most part those were the movies coaxing audiences back out and…

I’d love that. I have ulcerative colitis so there’s long stretches of time when unwell where you’ll find me nowhere near a three hour movie.

Same. Or maybe on an airplane, which is how I saw the first one.

Thanks! I saw it was rated PG (and is going to be appealing to kids based on the name) so thought maybe it would be more accessible than his other stuff. I have been waiting for family with a Netflix account to visit to watch it but it sounds like, what with my sensitive kid, it's going to be an after bedtime watch.

Also more fun than they have a right to be for the same reason: the Lego Marvel games.

I was just thinking, if only my prednisone worked that way...

And delusional. I get that these jacked up bodies are more for other men than for sex appeal, but as a lady, let me say that Huerta blows him out of the water. He is 20,000 leagues ahead of him. He also brought a nice physicality to a role that involved little foot wings and CGI underwater sequences, which says a lot.…

On reflection it’s actually my skepticism/worry that this is going for Trail of Tears but with Aliens and White Guy so audiences don’t have to Feel Bad. That’s what I got from the trailer. If that is the case (hard to know from a trailer), I say just do an actual Trail of Tears movie. That said, I don't know for a…

I am usually a let people like what they like kind of person, and yet I find myself actually weirdly hoping this movie sucks as much as the trailer implies. Not sure why I'm having this childish reaction, but I don't think I'm the only one?

True! But I thought this was streaming, which is much lower stakes.

I’ll see this but the real question is: will it traumatize my 8 year old?

On the other hand, everyone hates *me* for being Canadian.

I hate 3D. I like seeing movies early in their run, which usually means the 3D version is what's showing, and I'm stuck with those stupid glasses. As a glasses wearer, I've no desire to do the glasses-on-glasses thing and actually have daily contact lenses that mostly get used for things like going to the movies.

Knives Out put Evans on your list for me. Even Ruffalo is someone I think of as more of an indie drama type rather than being stuck in his Marvel role. So maybe Hemsworth? I think he could easily break out of that, though.

I’m much happier with a broad field of super talented actors making their mark on film and television vs the same handful of “stars” getting all the public attention. We have “influencers” taking up the latter space and now actors are able to focus on their work vs their love lives for once. Also, I think sometimes…

1) I heard Shatner interviewed on Q (no, not that one!) and came away with the distinct impression that he’s experiencing some pretty steep cognitive decline, so picking on him for any recent comments feels kind of mean.

I have a similarly aged child who loves Nintendo and we without any hesitation will be seeing this. Maybe even on opening day.
