The Last Voyage of the Demeter: Reboat

I like ZS movies more than most people here I think, but please god no with the Bond nonsense.

I know I’m in the vast minority on this, but I don’t think the characters or backstory of Star Wars are all that interesting. Honestly, as the Star Wars movies go on and they try to do more world building, the worse it gets. Star Wars definitely beats Rebel Moon on humor because Rebel Moon had zero humor, but they…

yes, exactly

I think the critic score is pretty irrelevant for a streaming release. Nobody’s going to cancel Netflix because Lauren hated the movie, and few people will decide not to subscribe to Netflix because the Zack Snyder movie isn’t good. People who are already on Netflix will probably watch it because it’s gonna be the…

Yeah, it’s a big dumb sci-fi movie, it looks good and I thought it was fun. But, you know, even comparing it to Star Wars, it’s not like Star Wars is some deep treatise on the human condition, it’s also just a big stupid sci-fi movie. This thing is vapid and shallow, but it’s not any more vapid and shallow than Star…

Yeah, the trailers all look pretty generic, but I think the Aquaman vs. Black Manta fight scene in the climax will be pretty epic. Of course, it could fool me like Shazam 2 did and the climactic fight could actually be as generic as the trailers make the movie look.

Yeah, I’m going to the IMAX show on Sunday afternoon, which I honestly can’t even believe is open given that there’s a strong chance that I will be the only one there. I usually pre-purchase the tickets online, but I’m saving myself the fees and doing walk up because there’s no chance of a sold out showing.

It would be great if as Lobo he dreamed about himself as Aquaman in the fish fucker scene from Peacemaker.

I’m seeing this on Christmas Eve & I bet I’ll be able to count the number of other people in the theater pretty easily. I’m a DC die-hard and loved the first one, but this is going to feel like going to a funeral I suspect.

I’m 100% in for this. Alex Garland movies and bleak fiction about societal collapse are both my jam.

100% with you on SZA. Her entry into the mainstream didn’t diminish the quality of her stuff at all (even though I still like the pre-Ctrl EPs best).

I thought Allison Elliott would be a huge indie star after The Spitfire Grill but she ended up in a lot of complete crap, like the made for TV movie version of A Wrinkle in Time.

Yeah, I fully expected to hate watch a few episodes and quit, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Honestly surprised it did well enough to get a second season, but I’m not complaining.

Wallen met with numerous Black leaders in the entertainment business as part of his ongoing education “to learn and try to be better.

Yeah. I’m now the age mom was when she died and I think a lot about what I’d do in her shoes now.

Yeah, Darren Criss is almost entirely a voice actor now (but he gets to be Superman, so that’s not a bad gig) and Harry Shum has done pretty well (Grey’s Anatomy, Crazy Rich Asians, Everything Everywhere All At Once), but otherwise it’s kinda grim.

Yeah, my mom had lung cancer that spread to her brain when she was a year younger than Shannen is now. From diagnosis to death was only 8 months for mom.

LaKeith Stanfield competes with Jesus of Nazareth for followers

Great, now they can live at the animal shelter longer when their asshole owners who thought a giant dog was a good idea inevitably decide they’re too much and abandon them.
