I hate how spot-on that casting is. (And am grateful they didn’t go with that)

I mean, that’s basically what the whole “Exorcism of (Insert Name Here)” subgenre has been doing.

Mike, buddy, as a big fan of yours? I must tell you this choice is a mistake.

Exactly! And what frustrates me about all of this is that with our advances in technology, you would think the standards for excellent cinematography would be easier to achieve, not apparently forgotten by the majority.

I am. I thought Glass Onion was a lot of fun, and am kind of bewildered at the negative responses to it.

Welp, my old ass is out-of-touch with today’s crop of stars: I have absolutely zero idea who these three people are.

Gosh dang it, Kinja!

Ok, here’s the rant again, but WITH pictures (hopefully):

See, I don’t buy this argument at all, that it’s all the streamers’ fault, messing with what was fundamentally good cinematography. Because you know what movies I never complain about being too dark when watching on Netflix or Max or whatever streaming device I’m using? MOVIES THAT EXISTED BEFORE STREAMING WAS EVEN A…

Well said. I absolutely loathe this typical go-to fan theory. It’s just a slightly dressed up version of “It was all just a dream” and screw that noise.

I rather enjoyed Chris Hemsworth as Odie, though.

I think the article meant to say “Vampira” instead of “Vampirella”? Not that a lot of hetero males/lesbian females wouldn’t mind seeing Lily Munster in Vampirella’s usual stripper-ific attire...

THANK YOU. I thought I was being gaslit, or Mandela Effected, or whatever appropriate name explains my feelings of “This doesn’t match with the information I thought was correct...”

Well, that’s because he would have liked to come and meet us, but he thought he’d blow our minds.

I’m a bit wary of this new director Wes Ball based on his track record (known for the “meh” Maze Runner series).

I dunno, The Nice Guys feels like it’s playing the same sport, even if it’s not necessarily in the same ballpark.

Yeah, it’s kind of a crapshoot. Seems like for every Clint Eastwood, Greta Gerwig, Mel Gibson (as controversial as he is as a person, he’s a very skilled director), Ben Affleck, or early-career Kenneth Branagh, there are just as many Olivia Wilde’s, Zach Braff’s, William Shatner’s or later-career Kenneth Branagh’s.

Why does every single facial expression Tom Brady makes look like he’s simultaneously struggling to solve an algebra equation and also smelling a fart?

That is a fair stance to take, honestly. The third film being any good really is kind of a fluke, probably owed largely to it really being its own thing, so yeah. It’s the exception that proves the rule: The Exorcist really is not “franchise” material.

I Care a Lot also has one of my favorite movie trailers I’ve ever seen.

It’s just pining for Fjords! Very lovely plumage, isn’t it?
