Subservience was aight…..Megan Fox with her plastic surgery is perfect for that role.


Seeing Kraven today…..I hear it’s a bit of a mess….

The Carry On - ho le chit that was a bad movie. Bad acting, bad writing, bad plot with a ton of implausible convenient plot twists

Midnight run - oldie forgot how much they smoke in old movies

Also check out how regularly people drink alcohol in TV and movies - maybe even moreso now than in the good old days. The liquor industry must pay a shit-ton in advertising to Hollywood.

Midnight Run is classic though I did not like it at the time and probably haven't watched it sense.

I think it the obvious silly movies was the borderland for me where it was a rewatch or not.

Who’s watched the Hitcher? I’m caught up in it again. Rewatched it.

It’s so…..80’s, but man, it’s nerve wracking!

Oh for sure its like the Seven version but in the 80s. Still love the boyfriend transformation to vengeance.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wow the Jaime Foxx comedy special on Netflix is pretty powerful stuff.

 

[Neil Racki]

Hitcher - not streaming, we couldn’t find it

The Holdovers - 6.5/10 … director Alexander Payne (sideways, about Schmidt) is good, has a noticeable style like a less interesting Wes Anderson … movie first 45 mins was really good, lost speed but the acting was great, character arcs were great

Jim beam was the paid for liquor placement in this movie. I forgot how much adults kept liquor bottles around and drank room temperature liquor out of coffee mugs back in the day

How was Kraven?

I saw a rumor that since it isn’t doing well they plan to scrap the entire shitty Sony Spiderverse they were working on (Kraven, Madame Webb, Morbius and Venom)

Tough one for me to be unbiased on. Kraven was my favorite Spidey villain when I was a kid.

It was ok, but I can see why people are killing it.

I re-watched it a few months back for the first time in many years.

It held up pretty well for it's age. A lot of the 80's and 90's movies that were the bomb back in the day are a tough watch now. Pacing has definitely improved, as has acting. But the stories themselves seem better to me. Not much originality these days and way too many (bad) remakes.

 

[Silky mitts]

I don't often say "We are so f***ing back" sitting alone watching TV but as a long time fan of DC animation it came out of my mouth the last 2 eps of Creature Commandos, absolute fire

Nosferatu - is it only in theaters 1 day Christmas Day .. or is it getting released Christmas Day?

Man I was expecting crap, but I’ve got about 25 mins left and it’s better than you left me thinking it would be.

lol similar to you saying Smile 2 was good and I finally watched the rest of it after pausing halfway through and it was just garbage

Can't all like the same things!

This is true. I also have a much lower success threshold for horror movies. Smile 2 was 86\81 on Rotten…..that’s Fresh. Funny, I think I said it was arguably better than the first and Smile (1) was 79/78…..I was right (according to the masses)…

I think @Neil Racki was just pissed about no “mouth play” that night….

This might be a classic expectation movie thing.

I went in hoping for a tightly written well acted film noir heist move

You went in just hoping it didn’t suck

Reality is maybe it was just a streaming action holiday movie meant to be entertaining and not cure world cancer

Low expectations rarely let me down! Always go low!
