Last Movie Seen

Babygirl. Half naked Nicole Kidman in a movie that’s a third Secretary. A third Fatal Attraction and a third Unfaithful. A hint of boob.
Day of the Dead. (1985). Had never seen it in full except for bits and pieces. Lots of zombies eating people and the effects are kinda good. No boobs.

An article this morning caught my eye, for some reason, about an indie horror flick starring a dog. I think it was called Good Boy. Seems to be receiving some praise.
I was a little intrigued but have a hard time committing to movies these days. I'm waiting on the @haie review first. Seriously, I am.

Sorry chuck. That one is a pass for me.

Had nothing to watch last night and noticed the new Superman movie was on HBO figured give it a shot and if nothing else I'm a big Rachel Brosnahan fan. Within the first scene I stopped watching it. Felt like I was watching a cartoon I would watch when I was 6 before I grew out of it. Gave it another shot and made it about 10 minutes before giving up again. Is this really what people watch?

I think Mrs. Maisel was brought in to try and keep James Gunn from not blowing 200+ million on a woke shitty comic book movie and then publicly embarrassing himself and the studio even more after it takes a shit on opening weekend, and you see the result. There was a lot of angst over that movie when it came out this summer, I just kind of forgot most of it. He had some completely stupid quote that started turning people away from it, iirc.
I think these movies do better internationally but domestically it's like…why? Rebooting the same shit over and over?

I saw something on Twatter the other day where the poster asked why doesn’t Hollywood go back to find poorly made movies that were based on good stories and remake those instead of remaking/rebooting the things that were good and making us hate them.

I did see this last year and it was surprisingly decent. Better than See No Evil which is kind of similar. Maybe

The best example that comes to mind is 28 Years Later. 28 Weeks Later was a big letdown/generic zombie film that lacked the visionary that wrote the first movie. Didn't even have the grainy filter and just lacked imagination.
When Garland came back he mostly just reimagined the aftermath of the first movie, even making stuff from the 2nd film non canon. Doesn't even feel like a 3rd movie.

I've heard the thing about why not make stuff that was made poorly the first time better before and don't remember ever seeing a good answer why they don't. My guess is everyone in that industry is so terrified of failure because it can end everything for them that they are spooked of anything that wasn't successful, and they likely have to then go back and pay the original people who own the source material. I guess Dune is an example of doing this.
I guess I should have been more prepared but how cartoonish and child like the Superman movie was just through me off. The only comic book movies I've ever really been able to stomach are Batman ones.
