It was, but I think the general consensus was that it was a bit of letdown after how good the Lego Movie was. It's not bad at all it's just not that remarkable either.

We've Got To Go Back
As a big fan of both Gareth Evans and Dan Stevens, I found the Apostle to be one big letdown. It is such an over-ambitious movie, so they swung for the fences, but in the end, it really missed. The cult segment Evans did for V/H/S (which is the best segment of those movies) is like a 100 times better.

Technically on streaming (AMC's website), The Little Drummer Girl is absolutely fantastic. It's a John Le Carre story.

Sorry to bother you is up on Hulu and was commercial free, which was nice. I didn't get a chance to see it in theaters, and went in blind enough to laugh out loud when the voice cameos started

I wanted to like Sorry to Bother You so much as a longtime fan of Boots Riley (I even bought the blu-ray off his name alone after I wasn't able to catch it in a theater), but something about it never clicked for me. I'm interested to see what he does next, though.

Here's to the new us.
The thing that has stuck with me the most about Sorry to Bother You is the recurring background detail of the lifetime work contract. Its way too easy to imagine a Jeff Bezos-type seeing that and thinking "Yeah...yeah..."

I didn't see this posted but Hulu is doing a sale where you can pay 99 cents a month for a year to get the base hulu subscription. That's a steal considering it usually starts at $8 dollars a month and sometimes $6 a month. I was paying for no ads but signed up for this with a different account.

Saw this yesterday morning and jumped on it immediately. Really had no interest in Hulu, but knew they have a pretty decent anime selection. Plus that's a drat good deal.

I cancelled a few months back, but just signed up for the .99/month plan. My account that I had just cancelled was only eligible for a discount down to 5.99/mo but an older one that had been inactive for a year or more was eligible for the .99 one. Also of note, upgrading to commercial free bumps it up to the full price, was kinda hoping you'd be able to just pay the difference.

I'm gonna have to disagree hard on this. I think that ending might be one of the worst I have ever seen in a movie.

I just resubscribed to Hulu today, because of their 99 cents per month for the next year deal. I was surprised to see they had Sorry to Bother You, which I just rented from the Redbox last month. It's REALLY good.

I also enjoyed Terminal a lot, even though it feels like a movie from 2004. It's kind of a dystopian neo-noir with a great sense of style, and Margot Robbie is excellent as always.

Just got done with Buster Scruggs and yeah, it was kinda mixed. The Buster Scruggs segment is excellent and very Coen Bros, and Near Algodones and All Gold Canyon were pretty fun as well. But Meal Ticket and Gal Who Got Rattled kinda overdid it, particularly the latter just dragged on after a while. Finally, Mortal Remains was very stylish, but still left me kind of cold.

I enjoyed Buster Scruggs throughout, but the first segment is so fantastic that I think the rest of the film suffers in comparison.

The best way to watch Scruggs is to keep in mind that it’s a stealth horror anthology.

1. Death is inevitable
2. Death is inevitable
3. Life is cruel
4. Life is cruel
5. Life is cruel
6. Death is inevitable

I have watched and loved every Coen film (Miller's Crossing and True Grit still being my all time favs) and loved them all until this one. It felt like a freshman film student's high budget copy of the Coens.

Also I'm not insisting that anyone agree with me. People are free to have their own opinions on art and not be told they are wrong.

The first one I get, the 2nd one I don't. Big Lebowski & Intolerable Cruelty for me. The first is the best buddy movie ever made imo and the 2nd is criminally underrated comedy.

This was my exact reaction to the film originally but the collection as a whole has grown on me in the days since my watch. Particularly interested in rewatching Mortal Remains to see if there's something there that eluded me the first time around.
