Iāve devoted posts to mocking both, but I do think Beekeeper probably offers you the better chance of being entertained and I have it as the slightly better (less bad) movie of the two.
Iām going to be crestfallen if Drive-Away Dolls is bad, though I fear it may be merely decent. Definitely seeing it on Thursday night though.

Me too. Only 84 minutes tho, so itāll be sweet and quick regardless. Hoping for the best. It was edited by Ethan, so Iām thinking the short runtime is a good sign.

The thing is that this film is very specifically about the atrocities being masterminded against them, and I feel like not knowing the level of their suspicion toward our POV villains is one of the things that works in the filmās favor.
It clearly tells an implied story about Mollyās suspicion of Ernest. What heās actually doing is so unthinkable that she wonāt entertain it at first. She loves him, and her brain would do whatever gymnastics it possibly could to never own it. For a long time, the closest we see her come is her conversation with a priest where she first strongly hints her full-on suspicion, but even then she canāt bring herself to speak the full allegation out loud. I try to game out the concept of spending more time in the Osage POV, and Iām not at all convinced that more conversations among the Osage that spell out the arc of their suspicion would be helpful to the final story.

āBetter than the originalā is doing a lot of work. Pretty much everyone died so a whole cast.
I suggest Braveheart vs Gladiator, like Alien vs Predator.

Other performers attached to star in Gladiator 2 include Denzel Washington, Matt Lucas, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Tim McInnerny, and Pedro Pascal.

And Ridley so there is hope.

Iām cautiously optimistic. As long as the script is good, weāll get a good movie. Maybe even something great.

Early reviews are promising. I think it will rock.
To be fair itās cathartic to see the Supreme Court building blown up. Not that it should be blown up in a not civil war.

Gotta love a county making a movie about a fictitious civil war mere months from when a real one is highly likely.
I donāt know if I can watch this. Iām scared shitless of outright warfare between Texas the feds or whatever.
So yall never rewatch āChildren of Men?ā That is peak terror and vision.

Thatās a funny post but āthe pandemic is overā triggers me. Those takes always trigger me. Am I dumb? Maybe, idk
Peeping Tom (1960) looked interesting but I had to bail out early. Too disturbing, too edgy4me. I might revisit in October when Iām more in the mood for a creepy serial killer show.
Switched over to Lured (1947), fantastic movie. Classy, dense noir detective movie in which Lucille Ball is a dance girl who becomes an undercover detective (quite natrually) and then defeats miniboss Boris Karloff before going on to crack the case of the creepy sex poet killer. Looks fantastic, well shot, Lucille is a gem, sassy af. Must-see if you like old-timey noir.
I love listening to Scorsese talk about his craft.
