“So have you seen any good movies lately?”

Great show, but I’ll never be able to un-see the “circumcision reverser” from season 1...

Agreed, 3rd best Craig Bond film. It was far too long and had some really bad “jokes” (“it was a mind blowing experience”) but the action and chases were pretty good and I was kind of sad to see this Bond’s story end.

Maybe it’s not really a dummy. Maybe it’s just misunderstood?

I figured I’d get some disagreement here, but Rocket? The CGI rabbit who is obsessed with weapons and stealing? I really don’t think he changed much at all. Going from a space pirate to a space pirate who teams up with others to help save the world from a shared enemy is hardly character growth.

Good comment. I also watched Shang Chi and enjoyed it, but am in no way yearning to see what happens to Shang next. Awkwafina was really the only memorable part for me. This is going to continue to be a problem as Disney rolls out new unknown superheroes, if they don’t build the attachment to the character then what’s…

Ok, if you can’t talk about these movies like they’re “regular” movies then I think you need to treat them more like a TV series. But how many of the episodes are standalone origin stories that played out in very similar ways? So it would kind of be like watching the same episode over and over again (humor me here) wit…

It’s too late, the nerds are out for Scott’s head now.

I loved Endgame (and Infinity War), but truly it’s barely even a film on it’s own. I think it often gets a pass because all the prior films took care of the setup and character introductions but Endgame itself has very little, if any, of these things. If you hadn’t already seen most of the preceding 20 movies you…

To me, The Suicide Squad felt like a collection of ideas jammed together into a movie and then they let a 12 year old write the jokes. No character growth, no stakes that you actually care about, no excitement. I actually think The Suicide Squad is a perfect example for the point Scott is trying to make.

I mean he’s not wrong. As much as I love the Marvel movies they mostly follow the same formula. There are few surprises, the hero is never in any real danger, and they often end with a CGI heavy fight against a similar foe. There are rarely any real stakes to them and little to no character development. I watched…

My wife got me to watch Grease for the first time a few years ago as she remembered it being “so good!” Afterwards we both agreed that it was terrible.

Except that sadly the audience score can be bombed due to the inclusion of gay characters, female leads, and minorities in prominent roles.

I’m pretty sure that missile was going to miss the car whether it flipped over or not. 

It was almost like a soft reboot where they tried to bring the viewer up to speed on all of Dexter’s greatest hits way too quickly. This first episode really affirmed my belief that we don’t need more Dexter.

Those quips are national treasures!

Not really, other than they’re both the same color in the photos you chose. Using my skills developed as a child playing “spot the differences” I’d say there are more differences than similarities. 

You’re right, for such a large scale film the action sequences felt really small. The fight choreography was handled well but it always seemed like they were just fighting on a soundstage that wasn’t part of the main action. Also, any what happened to Josh Brolin’s character? Did he die? Either I missed his fate or it…

I bought two vehicles in spring 2021, one from Carvana and the other from Vroom. I think the most important thing to note is that if you need something YOU need to continuously follow up, neither company ever calls you back without prompting. That being said, the buying experience with Carvana was far better than with…

Please never let Scott do that Gladiator sequel that comes up every now and then...
