Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Going in for The Game now.

Ok so Succession totally ripped off their opening credits from this.

Also: coffee shop Brad Pitt’s name is almost certainly NOT Joe Black. Can’t imagine that would cause any issues going forward…

Seriously can’t understand how you people think The Game had a good ending. So preposterous . Everything was good until that. It could have been a classic movie.

Michael Douglass has to shoot Sean Penn at the exact right time. He has to decide to jump at that exact spot, like can’t be off by a few feet. No stuntman on earth jumps that many stories then pummels through glass - AND UNLIKE SOME RANDOM RICH GUY, STUNTMEN KNOW HOW TO FALL.

Tubi once again delivers

Idk if the rest of the show is good but the pilot for this features Conan and sumo wrestling

I thought the consensus here was that it was good except for the ending?

No, that was the reasonable view. The consensus seemed to be something else.

High hopes for this one

Anything other than The Game is a great movie AND has a great ending is the wrong take

so as far as I’m concerned

you’re all canceled

Not that Ford has rights to the character or anything, but supposedly IJ is his favorite to play (far more than Han Solo, who he’d been trying to get killed off since Empire Strikes Back) and it was largely his eagerness to reprise the role that got the last two movies made. My guess is without that factor, they’d have (properly) just let the series die after the first three movies, the last of which ended with Indy and his dad literally riding off into the sunset.

I’ve heard this one is decent but not amazing, but apparently people are staying away in droves. The ā€œrealā€ budget is estimated to be north of $300M after all the reshoots, and it barely cleared $60M domestic in its opening weekend, which could make it historically unsuccessful if it has a normal dropoff from there.

the critics who have seen it are already saying it’s the best western ever made. im way more excited to see this than i am for oppenheimer.

Haven’t seen The Game in a really long time but I always liked that movie a lot and the ending never bothered me. But I need to watch again,

You’re scared of room 237, ain’t ya?

Just did a doordash. Bit of a landmark hotel nearby, and I was to deliver it to room 236

She texted me to confirm I’d delivered it to the door or to the front desk

I texted ā€˜door #236’

ā€˜So close to room 237’

Was hoping the Rewatchables would get into this on Primal Fear, but about the ending…

The thing where Aaron/Roy just casually throws in during the final scene that he also murdered Linda always leaves me wondering if there was more to that subplot that got left on the cutting-room floor. On first watch I’m pretty sure I missed that like it was some throwaway line since it’s not the primary point of the scene. This wasn’t supposed to be at all obvious during the movie, right? I’m not even really criticizing it because I’m not sure I would want that to be a plot that gets much time, but the execution is just odd to me.

After a high-profile firing, Jenna’s fashion career comeback hits a snag when she falls for a charming, much younger coworker - who happens to be her boss’s son. As sparks fly, Jenna must decide if she’ll risk it all on a secret romance.

Former romance editor (me) gives The Perfect Find a full bag of popcorn. They hit every romance beat and then some.

The bottom of the bag is unpopped because the age gap is a problem (22 with 40), but the romance is at least between two adults.

Otherwise the jokes, the romance, the Matrix references…!! Can’t wait to see the Streamberry remake.

Hello, little cowgirl. I’m a little cowboy, too.

No thanks.
