*She* did watch the 2 covid specials, but who cares? You seem fragile.

I just watched it. I’m not a big South Park fan, but I didn’t think it was very funny. Is “chin diapers” funny? Because they say it like 5 times. And jokes remarking about it being the future are ironically pretty old. It’s not terrible, but it’s just not very entertaining. Maybe I’d have liked it more if I had paid…

I’ll add Girls5eva, which was pretty entertaining.

I think so. The difference is in how far we’re each willing to bend our professed principles to reach our own definition of success. I’m disappointed in the ways I’ve compromised my own principles so I try as hard as I can not to judge other people for not living up to their own standards, much less mine. (Unless…

I wanted to see it but I missed it... I must have had something else going on that weekend and then forgot about it. I’m vaccinated, live alone so I don’t have to worry about passing it on to anyone if I did get it, and live about a mile from my local AMC, so I use my A-List a lot; I’ve seen 19 movies in the theater…

All right! I can fly to the place where I’m going to fly from! In a post-9/11 world, private civilian aircraft will easily be permitted in restricted airspace around things like airports and government buildings, where even small drones are legally prohibited. The only reason this would ever be likely is the rich…

I liked the original well enough, saw it in the theater and probably rewatched it on VHS and cable a couple times. Saw the sequel in the theater when it came out and never bothered to watch it again so I mostly forgot it. Something about hate-slime and Viggo Mortensen the barbarian or something? Never watched any of…

The trailers made me feel like I was going to hate the movie, because it felt so reverent and nostalgic, but it’s not that bad. I was planning to hate watch it, but it was pretty OK. The kid actors were all better than I expected. It’s dramatic in a way, but I’d say it’s more like... I dunno... lighthearted adventure?

House (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091223/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2) was one I really liked, but it leaned more Horror/Comedy whereas Ghostbusters felt more Comedy/Horror to me. It’s got the Greatest American Hero, Norm from Cheers and Bull from Night Court in it, what’s not to love?

I saw Eternals and French Dispatch this weekend and, somewhat surprisingly, of the two, I liked Eternals more. Eternals wasn’t great, but after the first 45 minutes it’s fun enough and I dig seeing the first living Celestials in the MCU. Kinda psyched to see the cosmic part of the MCU expanded beyond Guardians (and…

I loved this game. The story was really good, I thought the team dynamic developed and gelled in a satisfying way, and the end was touching. And I could play normal difficulty and not feel like I sucked, so most people would probably consider it really easy. I thought the combat was fun, I guess kind of Final Fantasy X…

Nice! I was gonna post it if somebody already hadn’t.

I saw this in the theater and it was the year I turned 21. I liked it mostly, except for the kid because at that age I found all kid actors mostly annoying, (an opinion I’ve grown out of... to an extent.) What I think is a big part of why it failed is it was an ironic movie before ironic humor took over. It was on the…

He was going to change it, but Mark Davis told him it looked awesome. Wah-waaaaaahhhh... Didn’t notice somebody already played the Mark Davis card. That’ll teach me to look at all 9 comments (seriously, that’s it? Readers are jumping ship, or Kinja is just eating comments.) before I reply.

Was Zuck a rejected character in The Polar Express for looking not human enough?

I watched 1984 Dune after and Chalamet felt much better in the role than MacLachlan, even though they were about the same age when they each played the role, MacLachlan seemed too old for the part, to me.

I was hoping for Tom Bombadil as much as any Tolkien nerd, but to condense the story to 3 films of realistically viewable lengths in theaters, they had to make cuts, and that sort of disconnected side adventure is just the sort of thing that can be trimmed out. Having never read Dune, I can’t make that sort of call,…

Per the history.idaho.gov website, the name Idaho was made up for the state, whereas the ones you listed were places derived from actual people’s names, so yeah, it’s a bit worse. Lady Minneapolis would be pretty analogous.

Yeah, I mean some things happen but they feel like place setting. Like I said, it would probably be more interesting to me if I’d read the book, but since I didn’t, it was just kinda boring.

Ha! I didn't know that! I'm just now watching the 1984 version for the first time and I kinda wish I'd had that.
