I’ve never seen any Riddick movies, but they seem like such throwaway, generic sci-fi that I am actually kind of impressed that the franchise has kept going.

This review is a bit harsher than others I have seen. That said, this sounds like its relying on the audience liking John Mulaney (I do!) and also freeform “let’s-just-see-what-happens-when-we-don’t-really-have-a-script-or-more-than-a-general-idea-of-what-this-is-going-to-look-like” comedy (I don’t!). And for that…

I actually like Flanagan’s output for the most part, but I would say the pacing in most of his stuff is pretty bad. Midnight Mass especially would continuously grind to a halt when characters would launch into 7 minute soliloquies.

She saw him pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it must be serious.

I’m torn. This movie has a lot of things I would be interested in, but also a lot of things I am very un-interested in.

I watched this solely because I thought the cover art was cool and was surprised by how much I ended up enjoying it.

Never gets old.

A mix of some good new stuff and some classics. This list actually makes me consider getting Shudder. That said, 2 issues with this list:

Anecdotally, COVID killed the theater for me. We stopped going and even when people started returning to the theaters, we had been away for so long that it just seemed normal to wait and watch movies a few months later on TV. Combined with having kids who are too young for a theater and the variance in theater…

We started Evil thinking it was going to be an X-Files-esque, believer-and-a-non-believer-team-up-to-solve-odd-cases type show. It is not - it is so much more and weirder than that. Looking forward to S4.

That’s fair. Honestly, I could see Unfrosted being a whimsical, self-indulgent flop too.

I’ve heard nothing but good things from people I respect, it is definitely on there!

I liked the idea and the cast behind Velma. But, I stayed away because the criticism that kept coming up and I couldn’t get past was that it was just mean-spirited. Bigots are gonna bigot and humor is subjective. But IASIP and WWDitS fills my misanthrope quota for entertainment already, I did not really need more…

I love that Paramount+ won a “low-key bidding war” for this show, got it and... then the marketing group said “wtf are we supposed to do with this?” and it just died. I assure you, some people got a bonus and a promotion for obtaining that show in the first place because corporations sometimes have no clue what the…

For a number of years in the late 90s/early 00s it was Sublime’s self-titled album. I haven’t listened to that in decades now though.

Yeah, that’s a valid point.

I mean, even Star Wars has had a ton of stuff since RotJ - movies, comics, a ton of novels, several games, etc. I can at least see that each iteration is bringing in new fans. But HP? Cursed Child I heard was *okay*. The Fantastic Beasts series was a failure. And the Hogwarts game is apparently very popular, though my…

Setting aside the Rowling problem (it’s addressed already in this thread), I just want to say that I am amazed that the original HP content is *still* this popular. Maybe some of it is Rowling, some of it is growing older, some of it is one of the NBC Universal stations marathoning HP every weekend, some of it has…

Agreed that no one wanted a sequel to this. Even at the time, I assumed this was a quick paycheck for Stiller. I also think he is too smart to actually believe the bs he is shoveling here.
