How did Us do so well? It was in theaters for like ten minutes. I swear I saw an ad for it in theaters and like a week later directv had it available for download
That list makes me hate humanity. The MCU can eat a dick. Superhero movies are so awful.

It was really good? OK, not really good, but it was good.
Thereās a part of me that canāt knock the hustle. Disney spent decades making amazing content. Like from 1930-1990 they just made quality shit and no one was anywhere close. OK, maybe by the late 80ās anime studios were making cool stuff. And even with their 3D animated stuff they occasionally find gold, like with Toy Story.
Itās basically a no-brainier move: reboot everything and just make hay for 30 years off of live-action classic that Gen-Xers will feel obligated to bring their kids to. I mean, fuck it, they put the work in, why not coast for a while.
They arenāt stopping any time soon eitherā¦
Toy Story came out in 1995 and Toy Story 2 in 1999. Disney didnāt acquire Pixar until 2006. Toy Story 3 was OK, I hear the fourth one is good but havenāt seen it.
Fourth one is ok if you get past the fact that they totally went against the ethos of the whole series. It really didnāt need to be made.
Iām not really current on childrenās movies, but theyāve had a few solid hits over the years, right? Frozen, Coco, Wreck-It-Ralph?
I absolutely loved Inside Out and Coco. Frozen and Wreck-It-Ralph were solid.

I like brainless comedies, and with that said I can recommend Good Boys. It is exactly what you think it is.

Just saw Ad Astra. I hated it. A lot! Itās filled with the dumbest people ever written for film.
Had to come home and watch one of the best recent sci-fi films, Arrival, to cleanse myself of one of the worst.
Yesterday, for the first time since 2014, I went to a theater for a movie: Joker.
Enjoyed it a lot and I highly recommend it to most. You donāt have to be a fan of batman movies to like it, but itās not for everyone because itās on the dark and nihilistic side.
Edit - didnāt mean that as a reply to smac lol

El Camino was fine imo. No more no less.
My favorite movie is Mulholland Drive during which I fell asleep about 3/4 of the way through. Never caught the end which just adds to the mystique imo.

and some of this
Canāt even remember the last movie I caught in theater. Saw Transformers in 1986 and Batman in 1989 and I triple dog dare one of you to tell me Iāve missed anything since then.

Yeah, this was my take too. I found some of the plotting a bit unbelievable.
The Dark Knight was pretty good. And also The Matrix? And Mad Max: Fury Road was really great. Otherwise, you havenāt missed much. Fuck theaters, I go to them all the time but I donāt even know why.
