I need to see it. I was rarely using Netflix so I canceled. I’ll be at my girlfriends for like a week who has nextflix so I’m going to try and watch it then

Yeah Knives Out 2 will be the next movie I watch. Just gotta find the time. I only have a few hours at night to do any leisurely activities like watching a show or movie, or playing videogames. I've got the next five days off so hopefully we can get the kiddo down early enough one of these nights. But my wife and I also recently started Yellowstone, which is only 45 mins per episode, so it's a little easier to throw on in the evening. Especially on work nights. And I'm still playing through GoW Ragnarok, so some nights are reserved for that.

 

Fucking, I love being a dad more than any goddamn thing in this life. But holy hell does it take up all your free time 😂

Watched Avatar on IMAX 3D... Used some points on my card so it was 10 canadian dollars only, however those 3 h dude. IT WAS THE SAME FUCKING MOVIE!!! SAME PLOT SAME SHIT. Ok no big phoenix, instead we get a big whale wow I am glad I waited 9 years for that. Basically they rehashed the first movie, moved it from forest to the beach, made it longer and ppl are loving it. Fuck Hollywood

So I finally got the chance to watch Top Gun Maverick on stream last night. I mean, I know the movie got like a TON of praise but I thought it was just good? I was entertained but didn't get my socks blown off like everyone made it out to be.

 

Maybe I was spoiled by all the hype I guess

That movie needs to be experienced in the theater for full effect.

Saw M3GAN tonight. 

 

C+

 

I really wanted to shoot over the moon for this one, but it was honestly just OK. The movie had some pretty solid bones, but it just didn't do a whole lot. Granted, every time the bot is on screen, it's great. Also, it's very clear this was a hard R and they reeled it in  to make it a PG-13. This is more a "matinee and I'm bored" or "Netflix and clean" release. I don't regret spending the money as I had enough fun in the theater but you certainly don't need to rush for this one.

This is definitely the case. Tom Cruise made the right call to keep this one off of streaming platforms. 

 

This scene is the exact moment that pushed me into loving this film. The movie made a time trial into a nail biting experience.

 

 

Sure, you can emulate this at home with the right setup, but on the big screen it was something ridiculous. I also got the chance to see it in 4DX. Think of it as a lighter version of the ride simulators at a theme park (seats moving, wind, etc). That scene alone made the film honestly worth the price of admission. 

 

Also, new trailer from A24

Skinamarink was the most God awful piece of shit movie I've ever seen. I'm convinced it's a joke to see how much money they could make off hype and a $100 budget. I like some weird shit. This was absolute garbage. "Experimental"? No. "Indie"? No. "Atmospheric"? No. 

 

Fucking absolute trash. The fucking intro screen plot of mario kart would be considered citizen Kane compared to this trash. 

 

I know @MillionXloves making disgusting mii chsracters. Name one skinamarink and there you go. Nothing will ever come close. Piss  purse? Doo doo drag racer? Stinky ring finger? None of these come close to how disgusting it is that people are being charged to see that "film". I'd rather top off stu's foreskin after a pokemon anime sesh then watch 5 seconds of that piece of shit movie again.

^well well... it has the legendary sexpot Grace Goddamn Byers in it so I'm automatically down for watching that movie.  I was hoping she would not fade away into obscurity; I first saw her on the show Empire...later she was in that show I forgot the name of about mutants (like Xmen mutants) called "The Gifted".

 

There is no flaw: https://www.instagram.com/ladygracebyers/ Absolute smokeshow, this one.

How's Creed III?

Good in the Toy Story 4 kind of way. 

 

You had the perfect offramp but decided to go for one more and the conclusion (while decent) would have been a better break at the end of the last movie. 

 

That said, Michael B. Jordan's first run as director is pretty good. Also, Majors kills it with charisma anytime he is on screen. The final fight gave me some anime vibes in an endearing way. Overall, I'd recommend seeing it.

Yea. It was said they intentionally wanted the fights to be inspired by anime, I think Naruto, DBZ, Ippo and a few others were mentioned by name by Michael B
