DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL
Yeah, Hobbs and Shaw was definitely better than the last 2 or 3 FF movies. And as idiotic as the entire premise and final confrontation are they still felt more grounded than anything FF has done (semi)recently.

I think it'd be a lot better if I hadn't read the article a half dozen times over the years. I liked putting faces to names and getting the people's personalities but there weren't any twists if you'd read it. Also the philly accent is the worst so she was unbearable.

Let's spend some time with one of the defendent's now adult son who doesn't remember his father to pad this out, also did you you know peoples attention to this case was distracted by 9/11?

Gonna disagree on WWDITS S2, found it to be a sharp drop in quality. Gonna stick with it though. :)

Since premieres are streaming now, I'll go ahead and pimp out The Gentlemen. It's self-conscious, self-indulgent, self-referential and as completely pure strain Guy Ritchie as possible, and it's absolutely fuckin great.

Yeah I wouldn't say sharp drop in quality but definitely a tick below S1. It felt like there was less inspiration in the writing, less attention to detail overall.

Hugh Grant plays so far against type he's almost unrecognizable, and for once, is great. It's just a drat stylish movie and it oozes confidence in that particular way that can only be pulled off rarely

Okay I haven't watched all of Devs, I've still got two episodes to go, but I have to say that it is some real pretentious garbage nonsense and a lot of the music is annoying as poo poo. It is, however, very pretty. Only watch it if you're high.

Since normal HBO is the same price as HBO Max, I assume all companies will do this in the end. Because if not, it would stupid to subscribe to HBO thru a 3rd party (unless you have some weird deal going on).

Is Sol Levante supposed to be 3 minutes long and "a big deal?"
It claims to be the first "hand drawn anime with 4k HDR quality with some sort of deal with netflix but its reccomended to me as a "film" and looks super CG animated.

I don't know if any of you have heard of a movie called Midsommar,

More seriously, violence and general bizarreness aside this has to be one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. And the violence and bizarreness is just as beautiful. Everything is so symmetrical.

I loved it. I was a bit iffy at first because it was so different from Hereditary, but once I accepted that I was all in.

Hard disagree, but I'm into artsy-fartsy stuff. I loved the way music was used, the sheer volume and mood really worked for me as a stylistic choice. Plus I was introduced to the band Low.

I will say that I found eps 5 and 6 to be pretty slow and I don't think they stuck the landing.

My hope is that the late date is because the director's cut of Justice League is the launch-date killer app, and it's not finished yet.

Figured as much, when a bunch of film makers were interviewed they said their film was already bought and they had no say over taking the deal or they went deep into debt making their movie and couldn't risk putting it on streaming tanking their sale price.
