Sorry, I have disliked Doom since it came out and have always felt that the tone and general villain was a huge step down from Raiders. Capshaw is terrible in it and just shrieks a lot (such a step down from Allen) and a lot of it is downright racist in its portrayal. The one highlight is Short Round.

I was traveling a lot and FINALLY got around to seeing the new IJ movie. I have to say I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it considering a lot of the general word of mouth. Much more in line with the original films. If I had to rank them:

Might be fun. But it LOOKS like a very big mess tossed in a blender. 

Ha! Sounds horrific.

Any thoughts on Upload? I enjoyed the first season, but never got around to watching the second. Still good? Seeing the news on the third season got me wondering about it again.

...Depp V. Heard becomes so obsessed with its idea of neutrality—with avoiding being drawn into either side of the debate...

This time around he should be allowed to keep every dollar he makes off of the idiots who pay him. And the ticket buyers should be put in prison for being the reason guys like this keep coming back.

Yeah, no. I will venture to say that “finding out what happened to Ezra” is NOT the driver to viewership you might think it is. I don’t really know that story nor am I invested in its resolution. And I think that puts me in the majority of Star Wars fans. I certainly don’t mind that there are properties that I have…

That is really not an equivalent comparison. Aside from some character names and the premise of the first episode, there is nothing here to call it an “adaption”. It is a completely different thing that is using the name to promote it. West Side Story is FAR more faithful to Romeo and Juliet than this show is to…

Exactly my thought. It could be interesting if it is more “We are a team, just like any other, that gets things done. Our methods are just different and not what the Avengers would consider ‘acceptable’.”

Some may disagree with me, but I DO feel like it is a complete film, just not a complete story. Miles DOES have a full arc here, and essentially goes from “young outsider” to “his own person and hero” by the end of the film. Now that he has come around he can finish his own story on his own terms.

On one hand this looks well done. But on the other, why a new title if it is just basically a remake of the film. I was sort of hoping for new material.

But that is just it. It was the previous crew that did exactly that and continued to pump money in the crap like that. The new crew of bean counters said “nope, cut anything we don’t believe will bring in a bucket of money.”

I will wait to see what the real reviews look like once it is in wide release. Sorry, but the tailer looked pretty poor IMO (which I am aware may not be others reactions).

Really? Because most of what I have heard from people who have seen it is that the film is pretty bad.

This is a myth. The did not bury stuff in order to get tax write-offs. The new regime killed stuff from the old regime that they thought would flop, and took tax write-offs to minimize their losses. If they thought they had any chance of making money from the releases they would have released them.

Have to disagree with Amsterdam on this list. I was really looking forward to it. It is pretty blah. It tries SO SO HARD to be a Wes Anderson film, and just falls flat most of the time.

This whole thing makes little sense. Is Drax’s arm a “power”? And why bother with that when you can call up Hulk’s arm? Does having someone’s DNA give you all the skill to USE some of these powers? And Danver’s powers came from an infinity stone (at least in the MCU). So does that come across in her DNA?

So each haunted mansion looks different and takes its style from different implied settings. The one in Disneyland is actually based on an estate in Baltimore, Maryland. The one in Disney World is supposed to be set in New Orleans, so Luke is not wrong there. That said, the look of the building is just meant as…

It seems like a bad idea because she cannot act.
