I was just about to talk about that. I didn’t like OUaTiH. I didn’t hate it, but it felt like it was meandering until the last 20 or so minutes. It has its cool moments, but I found myself not caring about shit for most of the movie.
Hell, after the movie I was in the theater lobby and saw a wet floor sign on my way into the bathroom. I said to myself “…wait a minute. Was that wet floor sign shaped like a banana peel?! You mean that idea was just out there in the ether for who knows how long and somebody just now snatched it? Holy shit!” I was more hype over that banana peel sign than the movie I just watched.
But, fuck, man. Outside of Endgame, this has not been a good year for my favorite anythings that have put out something. Quentin dropped this, Jordan Peele’s Us was underwhelming, and Black Mirror’s (not tv but w/e) latest season was so weak. I’ve been finding a lot of new shit to like, but I’m 1 for 4 in terms of shit I was hyped for.
That wasn’t my experience with it. My theater fucking APPLAUDED the movie. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me, lol.
I was enthralled throughout the whole film, start to finish. And that ending, holy shit 
This might be his best flick since Jackie Brown, but I’ll need to watch it a few more times to really make that call.
battle angel alita was amazing
one of the best movies Ive seen

Watched this last night, it was horrible. Bad acting, very slow start and the plot points didn’t matter until the last two minutes of the movie. The only redeeming quality was the critter puppets.
So I am likely seeing Once Upon a Time on Tuesday. I just don’t know when because I have a doctors appointment at 10:00am. But it being at 10am doesn’t mean I’ll be seeing my Dr at 10am and I have no idea how long the appointment is going to take.
My theater is also doing a screening of the Muppet Movie the same day to celebrate its 40th anniversary. I’m still on the fence if I want to do that though. Once Upon a Time is only going to set my back $5 wherein a ticket for the muppets movie screening is $15. While I love that movie I don’t think I can justify spending $15 to see it.
We’ll see.

If anything Endgame was pretty underwhelming but to each its own
No. It was legit shaped like a banana peel. Black top, and the split peel formed 4 “legs”. Though I can admit maybe I was a little too hype over it. I’m just a big fan of when I see something new that makes me go “how did no one think of that until now?”
started watching love death and robots on netflix

Just got done watching “The Boys” on Amazon Prime. It really is as good as people here have been saying.
How closely does it follow the comics though? I was thinking of hitting up TVTropes later to get the low-down on stuff that occurs, but don’t want to do it if stuff is too close.
It doesn’t follow the comics, really. I’m a huge fan of the source material and at first a lot of the little changes didn’t bother me. Like Stilwell being a woman, Translucent being a character unique to the adaptation, PopClaw and A-Train being in a relationship, changing The Deeps ethnicity (he’s black in the comics) and some other things. But as the episodes went on it just went completely off the rails and became its own thing.
They watered down or altered so many characters backstories, have omitted so many important characters, events and situations it only feels like The Boys in name only.
It’s still a good series. I just have a hard time accepting it as an adaptation of the series.
10 minutes away from seeing once upon a time.
I’m excited.

This . . . . . . .ALL OF IT!
So just got out of Once Upon a Time.
It wasn’t bad. The dialogue was really well thought out, set pieces were great, everyone was on their A-Game, tons of unknown or little known actors shined despite bit parts.
But nothing really happens. Outside of the ranch scene and the last scene nothing really stands out or comes across as memorable. Which is rare for a Tarantino film.
It’s been pretty consistent that the general outlook is that nothing really happens in that movie.

Yeah. It’s not a bad movie by any means. Just uneventful. If there was one flaw. Imo is that it jumped around a lot and there was a lot of fluff that just wasn’t needed.
Yeah, that’s what I didn’t like about it. Maybe dude wanted to try something new, but I’m not on board for not much happening until the very end.
