It is so disgustingly 'Murica that is for sure.
I want a version with Charlize Theron as the Highlander.

Love Rocky IV. Looking forward to the theatrical rerelease later this year.
Obviously no need to watch V.

Witness (1985), starring Harrison Ford from Captain America: Brave New World and Kelly McGillis from Top Gun. This is one of those no filler all-movie type movies. Ford is the only honest cop in Philadelphia who has to go in hiding with the Amish. He learns how to milk cows and raise barns.

A terrific breakdown of why Terminator: Dark Fate didnât work.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Terminator/comments/1lv4z2l/i_dont_get_why_people_hate_this_movie/
âSomeâ flaws? Oh son ⌠look im of a firm opinion that everyone should like what they like, other opinions be dawned. But youâre kinda opening up a can of worms by saying you âdonât understandâ the hate.
This movie confirms that Skynet was erased from the timeline with the destruction of Cyberdyne in T2. So why are there still terminators? Specifically a T800, and specifically one that that looks âexactlyâ like Arnold?
Why is Legion sending terminators back in time? Skynet did it as a last ditch effort to survive after it had been beaten. Why does Legion think this is even a viable option? In fact, why is it acting in anyway like Skynet did before it?
This movie suffers the exact same problem that every terminator after the original has. Upping the stakes with more advanced terminators every time, despite the fact that Skynet was supposed to have already lost the war by the time the first terminator even goes back.
T2 got away with this and retconned events because its one of the best action movies ever made with one of the most iconic movie villains ever put to film.
Dark Fate isnt nearly good enough to justify itâs changing of established lore and Canon like T2 did. The writers just wanted more explosions, âbiggerâ stakes, despite stakes being exactly the same as every other terminator movie before it.
It wanted to âshockâ audiences by killing John Connor and pretending itâs a big boy movie but then immediately brings both Linda Hamilton AND Arnold back AGAIN, because the studio execs donât want original. They want nostalgia bait. This movie is the post child for âhey look itâs that thing you love, but differentâ.
They didnât bring Arnold back to justify having an old terminator in their movie, they justified having an old terminator in their movie to being Arnold back. Thatâs a VERY important distinction.
This movie is just one of many recent examples of why movies mostly suck. Studio executives are completely out of touch, and only want to milk franchises with established fan bases, no matter what it takes.
Cheap nostalgia bait for everyone forever.
Plus an idea for what could have been.
TIL what women really wanted is to take them to boring movies they donât want to see. Expert level advice.

Surprised that 28 Years Later hit me harder emotionally than Life of Chuck.
Jodie Comer nailed her role.

This is the wrong answer. There was no future, only that night. Taking her to see Bound would have ended up in epic memories, Iâm sure.
Letâs just say I have fond memories every time I watch Risky Business.
Rolling Thunder (1977) - Woah! Caught this on Prime today. Iâve seen it mentioned by Tarantino before so always meant to give it a look. William Devane is a newly returned Vietnam POW struggling to get back to normal life. Wonât spoil whatâs troubling him or what happens but he ends up hunting some guys down and itâs fantastic. This film is pretty dark and gritty and didnât exactly leave me feeling great inside but but it was absolutely cool and I really enjoyed it. Tommy Lee Jones is in this as well as the other POW who returns with Devane. Youâll also enjoy a little Dabney Coleman and for Texas Chainsaw fans you might notice Sallyâs brother Franklin for a couple minutes.
3.5/5

Scent of a woman
Okay. I was looking forward to this after my delight in Donnie Brasco
This is an awful awful movie
The character arc makes no sense. The acting blind is really badly done. Itâs a completely stupid, non existent, toxic idea of masculinity that never existed like this. I just did not care about the school story line at all.
What took the movie from just bad to awful were the interactions with women. I donât think anyone involved in this movie has actually met a woman, let alone talked to them. Straight up legitimising sexual harrassment and woman enjoying it.
A couple of decent Al Pacino moments, because heâs still Al Pacino, but it felt like someone had left a firehose open. Full blast and power with no direction or subtlety.
