Your 10 point must system/scale confuses me. Is a 5.5/10 slightly above average? 5 average?

Were you not entertained by either?

Yeah .. I really have no clue either. I think I started it as satire ... what does a 6.7 even mean, howd you decide it wasnt a 6.6 random internet guy?

Im not sure Ive given anything less then a 5 .. I guess Id turn it off if it was below that

But those 2 movies sucked ... like bad. I wouldnt recommend .. much better options out there but also I just like to watch 2-4 movies a week

I love movies ... even shitty movies ..

Trap - 5/10 .. m night shyamalan .. plot holes and a very limited plot/story to begin with (guy trapped in a building) .. seemed like the movie was made to showcase the singer/im guessing his daughter?

The Long Game - 5.5/10 .. mexican teens form golf team in late 50s Texas .. sappy was expected but it didnt come close to the great sappy sports movies

Trap - absolutely a vehicle to showcase his daughter's singing career. But it's his money bankrolling it so I guess it doesn't matter.

Awful movie. I have seen people praise Josh Hartnett's performance but I hate campy over-acting (see: anything by Nicolas Cage).

The Endless (2018) or Woman of the Year .. any see yet?

The Endless is a pretty cool movie. Interesting Eldritch/sci-fi concept.

Probably a 6.7856 on my ratings scale.

What would it need to do in order to hit 6.7857?

The Endless (2018) or Woman of the Year .. any see yet?

I really liked The Endless - very unique movie (imo anyway)

Woman of the Year - probably watch that one with your wife. It wasn't great and I only stuck with it because I was having a couch potato kind of day last weekend

Woman of the Hour on netflix with Anna Kendrick I thought was good. But I like True crime shows/movies

Woman of the Hour on netflix with Anna Kendrick I thought was good. But I like True crime shows/movies

Thought it was pretty good too. Put it on last weekend just to fill some space and ended up paying way more attention than I thought I would, did a good job at keeping a bit of tension and intrigue.

then the credits hit and I saw she directed it and was blown away, I didn't know she had that in her

Territory on Netflix is sort of an Aussi version of Yellowstone and its pretty good. Six eps.

Finishing up spooky season with a couple more.

Hysteria! On Peacock. 8 episode series. Im about 1/2 way done with it takes place in the 80s and has some stranger things vibes.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21493708/

Time Cut. On Netflix. 90 min movie. Time traveling movie They go back to 2003 to stop a Halloween type killer.

Time Cut (2024) ⭐ 5.0 | Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi

1h 30m | TV-14

www.imdb.com

Both have pretty good sound tracks if you like popular music from those eras.

Endless - 6.5/10 ... interesting, like a toned down Midsommar w the whole farm cult chill vibe secret thing. I do have some plot consistency questions about the loops .. felt like a spin off of Lost in some ways

the acting and relationship struggle btw the brothers was good acting/writing and the theme stayed throughout

Might have been better off as an 8 part limited series where things could have slow cooked a bit more, things fleshed out, past memories back story shown .. more relationship development btw characters other then the 2 brothers relationship.

also .. no titties .. there were ample chances for some titties to be shown but alas no titties ..

-----------------------

Let the Right One In - horror/vampire, the 2008 swedish one, excited for it tonight ...
