I actually read about her being digitally added to the film prior to watching it and then I found it incredibly distracting. It was like knowing Carrie Fisher wasn’t in Rise of Skywalker and then being hyper aware that all her dialogue was reused from old footage and shoehorned in. 

I bought a 2014 Grand Cherokee in October 2020 for $16k, sold it last week to Carvana for $20,200 and I bet it would have been worth more if I waited to sell it to them this week.

Vin Diesel looks like a guy pretending to be Vin Diesel in that header photo.

How does viewership increase each week? Are new people tuning in for episode 4 that didn’t watch episodes 1-3? Or is it that 500k people watched the show in week 1, then 1M people watched at least one of the first two episodes in week 2, 1.5M watched in week 3, and so on?

Totally agree that it hasn’t aged well. It’s really hard to watch Infinity War or Endgame and then go back and watch The Avengers. The characters, humor, and effects are all worlds better in the later Avengers installments. It’s actually kind of amazing how bad the 2012 Avengers effects look compared to those in…

He’s still pretty good at shooting people in the head though.

3 was better than 2, so I’d say it’s trending up. 

I don’t know who this is but now I’m thinking that each John Wick installment should introduce a different supporting character who is introduced, steals the show, and then departs. Common (sort of) in Part 2, Halle Berry in Part 3, this Sawayama person in Part 4, Sandra Bullock in Part 5, Millie Bobby Brown in Part…

So dropping the price and eliminating seven model variants is “going out guns blazing?” I’d say it’s going out with a fart. I’ve always liked the looks of the XF but have never seriously considered one because it just never seemed like there’s anything special about it, and that seems to still be the case for the 2021…

The portrait mode thing was definitely a really weird decision, but the lack of urgency was really bizarre. The movie sets up this internal clock but never really uses it to build suspense. At one point I think the characters have like 9 minutes until the nuke hits and they pause for a little reunion on a rooftop…

There were no zombies in this movie, just a bunch of stunt people doing parkour. They could have easily parkoured their way over those shipping containers and out of Las Vegas if they wanted to.

They are actually sort of the inverse of one another. In Bird Box the humans couldn’t look at the monsters(?) but in AQP the monsters can’t look at the humans.

Or, get this, aliens who use just sight! If they see you they kill you. How innovative that would be!

Honestly, COVID may have created the best possibly viewing experience for this. Fewer people in theaters means fewer crunching candy and popcorn bags so the whole theater might actually stay quiet during the tense quiet moments. 

How many franchises where 6 films using mostly the same cast even exist? I think it’s pretty common in TV to have seasons 4-6 be better than 1-3 and assume that’s likely because the writers have time to develop the characters based on what they think is working, so maybe the same applies to movies?

Ghost Protocol is…

The Witcher was just too hard to follow and I’m sure that turned a lot of people off. I’d never played the games and had little idea as to what was going on even after finishing the entire season. I probably won’t tune in for season 2.

Holy snopes, that’s Evan Peters?!? He looked so familiar but I kept mistaking the familiarity to the fact that he looks kind of like Topher Grace, who I knew was not the actor.

The show has gotten so insanely preachy, this season especially. There’s no plot anymore, it’s just a platform for tackling today’s social issues. It certainly has never been my favorite show (I watch with my wife) and I generally agree with the stances presented on the issues but as far as entertainment value is…

I’ll admit that I only remember seeing Arterton in one of the Bond movies, so I’m not going to be a good judge of talent. It’s just hard for me to believe that James is markedly better than anyone.
