I can’t be the only one that doesn’t remember any puppet show scene in Rise of Skywalker. My biggest complaint about Force Awakens was that it missed the slower moments that previous Star Wars movies had between action. Rise of Skywalker amped that up to an 11. 

I think there are a couple of things at play, theatres are trying to make up for covid shut downs with increased prices, movies are more expensive to make because of covid protocols, and the streaming window is too short.

I’d replace Sorcessor’s Stone with the much better Prisoner of Azkaban score.

I don’t understand why EV chargers aren’t replicating the model used by gas stations. One benefit of a gas station is they are easily identifiable. Public EV charging stations are just random boxes with little to no support if something goes wrong. 

Why did the instecticons turn into Scourges minions and then reappear again later? What happed to Cyclonus’ armada? 

The Stand was written as an American Lord of The Rings , so it makes no sense to cut the journey to flashbacks. I really had high hopes for the newer version. I enjoyed the original Stand mini series but it really suffers from the budget and the early 90's mini series style. I thought with a bigger budget that we get…

So he is going to shoot it in with the shallow depth that looked like shit on Army of the Dead.

I worked for an ISP call centre, and we would get dinged on quality if we didn’t ask the user to power cycle the modem, regardless if we knew from the description of the problem that this was not going to make any difference. Stick to the preset troubleshooting steps that the ticket software would tell you to follow…

He isn’t wrong, Netflix dumps so much stuff on their service that the majority of it gets lost. Netflix spends 200 million on movies that have journeymen directors, poor effects and completely generic concepts. I did like the Adam Project but it really felt like a bigger budget, Wonderful world of disney story. 

I don’t like this trend of removing shows and they are not available anywhere else. That being said Willow was garbage. The movie was never great but it was cheesy 80's fantasy, the show seemed so far removed from the movie, that I’m not even sure why they even used the name. 

As a former ISP call centre employee nothing makes me angrier to see the suggestion to contact your ISP when there is an issue with a specific app. 

Why not call it WB Max with HBO as a sub channel the way that Disney + has Star in Canada for more the HBO stuff. I always thought calling it HBO Max was an issue too because it was confusing that associated HBO with a certain style of show, when the streaming service was more diverse.

Really we have had almost 30 years of terrible video game adaptions, it’s nice to have something respectful of the tone of the game.

I’m trying to understand how someone could run into another skier and just keep on going. For the most part you would both get tangled up. It would take lot to knock someone down and not lose a step.

We went to Applebees our first night in Times Square , it was late, we were tired and hungry and never had Applebees before. Let’s just say the rest of our trip we only ate at local places. 

The problem with the Netflix film model, is that the overpay for talent. I suspect it’s because of the lack of theatrical distribution for boxoffice points, but while the Netflix tv shows look cinematic, I find the movies look cheap and underwhelming despite massive budgets

Me too, if only it was readily available somewhere

I’m aware of Blade but he was really a d list character and his association with Marvel comics was not really well promoted. 

I might be in the minority here but I would probably add the Dark Knight Rises to the list. It suffers the same problems as Godfather III, uninterested director, lazy production values and placing the quality supporting cast in the backseat. 

I agree the 1st X-men was the first main stream Marvel property that looked like a reasonable effort to translate their property to the big screen. That being said comparing it to other movies of the time period, ie. the Matrix, the Mummy, etc, it looks like an expensive Scifi channel pilot.
