Feelin' good on a Wednesday
Agree. It was funny, and I thought the kid stole the show. Just felt they could've taken the unconventional premise further. It was like 3/4 of a Coen brothers movie.

Had to look up the voice of woman on phone. Interesting.
Kept saying to my sister "She's like older but not old... like Demi Moore but not"

Ironic because I just mentioned The Substance also

Eh, ok to pass IMO. My wife is a big fan of these actors but even she (or maybe because of being a fan) was greatly disappointed. Without spilling beans in a one supposedly breath-holding slo-mo scene she predicted exactly what was going to happen...
Just goes to show... to each their own.

I like Pitt but Clooney I'm take it or leave it.

I felt it was a really funny & entertaining flick.

I'm probably not the target audience but I watched the first two Skeleton Crew episodes with my youngest and they were kind of fun with some nice touches of nostalgia.
It feels like a premise that someone came up with and then decided to shove into the Star Wars universe, and obviously it requires a huge suspension of belief, but it sets the grounds for what should be a fun little adventure story. It was weird and fun to see Star Wars suburbia, the child cast all do a decent job, and the naming of the droid while obvious in hindsight was low-key hilarious.
Will happily watch the rest of the series if they can keep it at that level

Starting Dune Prophecy -- mainly because I've always loved the Bene Gesserits. However, I am getting the feeling it's going to end up the same as the GOT spinoffs: couldn't watch them because of my total dislike of the Targaryens.... As for dune, I despite the Harkonens just as much.... am quite disappointed to find that Harkonens were seeds of the BGs.
