I'm rich, so I'll loan you $100. At 290% compounded interest.

Ask me how I got rich.

A tea spoon of sugar will do for me I’m not greedy.

Ahem, fixed.

I mean, isn’t it also the case that for every good action movie, there’s about twenty awful cheap DTV ones. Or for every good horror film there about umpteen amateur micro-budget attempts?

It is the case for every genre of movie/play/game since the beginning.

I would say horror films are easier to churn out than most due to costs.

Would that not be a romantic comedy. No heavy makeup, fake blood, or stunts?

Batman1980 · 06-06-2023, 04:12 PM

Romantic comedies and horror films, although I would imagine Blair Witch is to blame for the glut of horror films we've gotten since 1999.

Bronson is a poorly made movie that grotesquely celebrates a man that should be forgotten not worshipped.

Probably how I retired comfortably 9 years ago... at the age of 41.

It rhymes with "dock market".

Anyway...

Movies should always be watched in the order they were released. There are people that believe the Star Wars prequels should always be viewed before the OT, Pearl before X, Temple of Doom before Raiders... absolutely not. The point of a prequel is to give you some backstory, but only after you have watched the first film(s) released.

I can't imagine a first-time SW viewer having plot-twists in the OT ruined by the prequels.

It will be hard on me to pass that money up!

I think it’s a shame that Across the Spider-Verse is (IMHO) a way better movie than Everything Everywhere all at Once which took best picture and Across the Spider-Verse won’t even get a best picture nomination.

John1701D · 06-06-2023, 07:09 PM

Total missed opportunity to not have a Spiderman with hot dog fingers.

- Other than the animated movie from 1986, I haven't watched any of the Transformers movies. No interest.

- I hated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and don't have any interest in the latest one. To me, that style of animation is terrible.

- The Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man movies would be much better without Tobey Maguire. (I love the Tom Holland trilogy, but that isn't unpopular.)

- Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a decent enough time-waster, but I won't watch it again. The first 30 minutes are enjoyable, but it gets old fast. (I feel the same way about Renfield.)

Piranha 2 is James Cameron's best movie because it has the most bikinis.
