My wife makes me watch The Traitors every year. I always root for the hot chick(s) and they normally make it pretty far, usually because the guys are even more retarded.
I refuse to watch the Traitors, House of Villains or that crap. I do not watch karaoke shows or cooking shows or drag shows. Nor do I watch design clothes shows. I watched one season of Love Island but it was like 50 episodes and nothing was changing.
Years ago, I did watch Housewives of OC, like it’s first season because there were some hott chicks on there. But those shows are nothing like they are today. I know enough about these shows through walking the room to know the names of some of the “housewives” and I do have my favorites based on their hotness.
Operation Finale. I finished the book while on vacation and thought it’d be great to see the film. Turns out not to have been great. The movie sucked especially compared to the book.
Venom’s last dance. The only redeeming qualities to the Venom movies are the dialog between Venom and Eddie.
Hornets Nest. Documentary on Afghanistan from the POV of a father-son embedded journalist team. Turned it off after 15 minutes.
The new version of Midway. Saw it in the theaters when it first came out. Watched it more critically last night and thought it was terrible.
Zulu. I only made it about halfway through but pretty good, funny in some regards and I got overly excited seeing the origin of the “Fudgie, you slovenly poster” gif
Lots of boobs and ass shots. Kind of a more gritty Pretty Woman story. I couldn’t tell you if Mikey Madison deserved the Oscar but she wasn’t the favorite. I am thinking the Academy is liking lots of nudity from the Best Actress just as Emma Stone was naked all film long in Poor Things.
Electric State. There was still around 45 minutes left when we turned it off after what felt like 3 hours of typical world building and Transformer series type lame stuff.
They took Millie Bobby brown who just looks weird playing a student now and tried to make some 90's style Stranger Things things with some Chris Pratt playing as himself jokes.
Don't understand why companies keep investing ~250+ million on these movies. No, it's not going to turn into toys and a franchise.
Was pretty basic by today’s standards, but was probably very stylish and Miami Vice like back in 1985. Just had never seen it. Lots of boobs. Some William Petersen dong if you are into that thing
Shooter
Hadn’t seen it since it came out and I just couldn’t remember all the ins and outs. Plus it has Kate Mara.
Is ridiculously fucking stupid. Part dark comedy part serial killer mystery all fucking lame. What's her name only does these wannabe Big Little Lies miniseries now and she looks like a ghoul with all the work she's had done to try and look like a 35 yo trophy wife for the roles.
The movie industry is really depressing right now. I was recently thinking that the quiet death of a mainstream book industry has hurt it more than people realize. A lot more of even blockbuster type movies came from books and short stories than people realize. Comic book movies are their own side bullshit that just is what it is. The visual world of Electric State actually looks interesting but I wonder if the actual story is good at all or if they just thought the vibe would sell it.
Trying to tug at our hearts strings with 90's nostalgia shit. They did this 15 years ago with 80's nostalgia and now they're onto the 90's. The Twisted Metal TV show on Peacock did all of this much better and more creatively than the movie did.
Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt's Guardians of the Galaxy shtick was a core aspect that just irritated me and felt extremely lazy.
You're right about the book stuff. They're onto copying video games now since so much money goes into writing and acting already with them, and you have fully realized set pieces and situations that work better on film, tee'd up for you in a way where you can be 10x lazier than if you had to properly adapt a book.
I guess that westerny steampunk future shit like that has frequently bombed especially when based on a flimsy piece of source material - Wild Wild West, The Lone Ranger, the original Westworld but for some reason they keep going back to it.
It seems like they've made serious ground with making movies based on video games a lot better and I assume yeah part of that is they're starting now with games that have more story based worlds similar to movies already.
My idea for a heist movie is based on the alleged fact that all of Bob Ross’ paintings are stored in a warehouse. That movie idea can’t be any worse than anything else Hollywood has come up with in the last 5-10 years.
This is actually a pretty fun idea. It reminded me to confirm they made some sort of Bob Ross movie with Owen Wilson a couple years ago that no one saw. Also reminds me that they make way too much shit now whether it's movie or TV and it makes things feel less special so I don't feel like I need to watch them. I think losing revenues like home video hurt this but the industry was better when you could make a lot more money not actually getting things made so across the board creative people could pay their bills without having to get movies constantly made. Now everyone is sprinting to just chase paydays and it shows.

Those shows do have hott chicks for sure.

Bravo is one of the worst things ever.
You shut your dirty whore mouth. The Altman Brothers are like sons to me.
Wood Tracy Tudor.
Maybe Flagg if really really really really really drunk.
Watched 4 movies on my flights home from Hawaii.

I have no idea what any of this means.
Huh?
I’d been awake for almost 36 hours when I wrote this. I legit reread it to make sure it was at least 81% coherent.
Hot Shots
Doesn’t really hold up like Airplane. There were some gags here and there but not as funny as I remember.
Anora

Lucky Logan.
This is one of the very first movies I added to my Amazon Prime list years ago. Finally watched it last night.
A decent heist movie.

Not a movie but
Andrew Schulz on Netflix.
That is one funny motherfucker.
To Live In and Die in LA

Big Trouble in Little China
Had never seen it. I am guessing it was pretty cool back in the 80’s.

Are comedies even allowed to have dialogue like this anymore?
