I am completely shocked at the lack of buzz for this movie. It was absolutely hilarious with one liners galore, has two enormously popular and fun leads, some of the best live action stunts littering the entire movie, and a soundtrack that simultaneously ROCKS and adds to comedic elements.

I feel like this is a movie I'm gonna watch at home 10x. I've recommended it to multiple people who both side-eyed me upon the rec AND who later told me what a blast it was.

I loved this movie WAY more than expected and hope it gets its legs. I feel like it should at the very least be a cult classic and my disappointment in its box office results is palpable. This is the movie I want Hollywood to make, but now know it won't because for some reason 5x more ppl go see Godzilla/Kong 4: let me out.

So spot on. Not sure if I mentioned it on here or real life, but it had an element that was so refreshing, just like Top Gun Maverick. It was real and not just CGI on top of CGI and you could tell.

With so many meh movies out the last couple of years, this one really stands out. And like you mentioned the one liners, hell even the callback reference to Tom Cruise being CGI in the movie, just so well done. I'm in the same boat where I will watch this at home a load of times and probably catch 20 more little things that I missed in it.

My brother and I watched Short Time on VHS on repeat as kids. We thought the scene where he flipped off some criminals in a car chase was the funniest thing ever.

Never been so lost starting a second season as I am with Outer Range. Usually it all comes back as the first episode goes on but by the end I was still like who are all these people and what is going on.

Ridiculously out of left field:

Mindhunter S2e2 is as good as anything gets. Fincher is a genius.

Holt McCallany.

So **** good.

I wanted to like X-Men 97, but the voice acting was something I could barely tolerate. A bunch of young looking characters who sound like they're voiced by octogenarians. I hated it so much.

Or our very own Splash Mountain (I don't think it's a Disney movie, so likely not).

Weird seeing the fawning reviews a day after it came out FFC was a serial sexual assaulter on set.
cuff Brook's feet with heavy prison balls with GPS ON to track his miles per day and push him to become more athletic.


I don't think is a fawning review, it's pretty mixed. Most I've seen have been like this if not downright befuddled and hostile. I just like big swings.


I'll give FFC credit for funding this film himself. Sold his winery and dropped $120M of his own cash. There's something to be said for investing in yourself and making a movie exactly how you want it to be. Doesn't mean it'll be good, but his legacy as a filmmaker is intact.

I guess it might be better than the Disney Land movie.

I still have to finish the first season but count me in as someone who is not understanding the massive hype it's getting either.

It was a grind to get through for me, though I admit I like where it ended up.

But there's been so many good animated shows and movies over the last few years I found it tough to go back to 90s style visuals and old actors for nostalgia sake (I never watched the original series).

The animation in X-men 97 is a completely different tier than the original though. I'm not getting that criticism at all. If it's one thing that I'll never let nostalgia blind me on, it's nerds trying to tell me that the original X-men and other 90's American cartoon animation wasn't absolute trash lol. It was.

I thought FURIOSA (GODDAMN) was great. Not on Fury Road's level, but very entertaining. Hemsworth was at his best. Taylor-Joy was good, but honestly, didn't have a ton to do and she wasn't even in the movie a lot.

Not a required theater experience the way Fury Road was, though.
