Lemon posted:I finally got around to watching Paddington 2 last week after hearing how good it was for ages. I wasn't expecting to get probably the biggest laugh I've had from a movie this year at Brendan Gleeson saying "marmalade". It's genuinely astounding to me just how good the Paddington movies are.

If I see that she's starring in something, I assume that it's probably not going to be very good. Given that it is a Taylor Sheridan movie, I don’t blame her for picking it. Movie wise everything he has touched has been mostly gold (I haven’t watched Sicario 2), but his TV series Yellowstone is not (I like it in a guilty pleasure way). I was hoping this movie would be him getting back on track, but review wise it doesn’t look like it.

Also looking up his filmography just now I learned that he wrote the recently released Without Remorse which is also terrible. I've enjoyed a lot of his stuff but he's made more poo poo than hits in the last decade.

TIA Don't think too hard about the ending, otherwise you realize that every single person had to have been intentionally gaslighting her (including her shrink) to somehow not put together what she was telling them was happening. I cannot believe multiple reviews were putting this in the same territory as Gone Girl. EDIT: Like the cops theoretically would have looked around the inside of the neighbor's house and seen the blood stains, since they showed up 5 minutes after the murder.

The first season was fine, I guess, but they'd obviously slashed the budget for season 2 so it feels like everyone is in the same 1 or 2 locations for the entire season and not a whole lot really happens and what does happen is very boring. Hell, they introduce a character whose mutant power is turning into a loving dragon who they then immediately kill off screen having never shown us the loving dragon because I assume the CGI cost too much. I was hate watching it through the last season and wouldn't really recommend it.

there's been a tiny bit of outrage a while back as Paddington 2 is now listed as better than Citizen Kane when that's obviously true. sometimes the best movie ever made turns out to be an immigration morality play about a bear and that's fine, can't really predict this poo poo

The Paddington movies are legitimately great and one of the rare instances where the sequel to an excellent movie is even better.

Maxwell Lord posted:Ah, I've been waiting for that one to show up somewhere. Not sure why Disney+ doesn't have it. Probably because Sony owns TriStar and has the rights to that one and Muppets From Space. Same reason they had to make a special deal with Sony just to get the MCU Spidey films on + in a few years and why the MCU Hulk isn’t up either (although that’s Universal).

Greenland was fine though I wish I could've been able to turn my brain off a little better. It never helps when the movie ostensibly takes place in some very geographically separated locations but was obviously mostly filmed in the same five square miles. There are some pretty cool visual bits that they spent the whole budget on. Gerard Butler is good and I always enjoy when they don't make him do an American accent or give him a contrived backstory, just let him have the voice he has. If I'd been abusing inhalants or drank precisely the correct amount of beers I would've enjoyed it much more. However, I don't regret putting it on. 2.25/4 stars.

I had no idea Mare of Easttown was only 5 episodes. For a limited series, they left a lot of dangling threads. I was always more interested in Mare's personal life than the whodunnit, but you can't leave us hanging like that. Edit: I also watched Hacks, the new show starring Jean Smart (also of Mare of Easttown), and I can't tell if it's good or if I'm just biased for my love of Jean Smart.
