The goddamn 1-2 punch of that image and then the Twitter name of the guy posting it.

Glad to see KA Applegate is cool, although I still don't forgive her for traumatizing 10 year old me by killing off all of my favorite characters that I had been reading about for 3 years.

i'm seeing this hot take appear oover and over. Does it actually get better on rewatch?

actually the reviews weren't too bad so maybe i'm alone in not liking it, but all i remember about the film is the blind guy played by Donnie Yen and the final fight in the bahamas

it was a mediocre heist movie. it's better than the majority of the canon nine-ology films by sheer fact that it has almost nothing to do with any of the skywalker clan or their shenanigans, all of the main characters die, and ends with darth vader ominously whipping rear end

if it were completely unrelated to star wars i don't think anyone would give two shits about it, but since the majority of the star wars franchise is not very good, it appears to be better by comparison

extremely late but Bad Day at Black Rock is v good. Though as far as noirish westerns go I will always go with Johnny Guitar. If you want another all around quintessential film noir that ticks all the boxes like Double Indemnity, check out Where the Sidewalk Ends.

I mean yeah its not great but, uh, exactly what you said- the fight scenes are good and the monk is cool. There are better action movies but its fine and I'm incredibly gay for star wars so that moves it up a bit

the main thing i remember about rogue one is how the tone really goes all in on the empire being genocidal monsters in a way thats direct uncomfortable and comes off like a call to action

but it was still a star wars movie with a goofy comic relief misanthropic robot its like someone tried to do that boondocks parody where jar jar binks has taken off the shackles of human supremacy and become a guerrilla organizer for freedom except played with complete sincerity

a box office failure sure but an overall failure would require that cats also fail to sell any copies of its soundtrack where taylor swift is the lead singer and also that the movie tanks in secondary distribution which tends to be where bizarre unmarketable movies make the most money anyway

Same!

Also, and this isn't getting enough attention, it's under two hours long. Usually bombastic middlebrow trash shoots for respectability by diluting 1.5 hours of fun into 2.5-3 hours of tedium. I'm not used to having my time respected by this sort of movie.

Or it means the production was so cursed that they couldn't even cobble together enough usable footage to hit the desired length. Either way, I'm looking forward to having time to see it, the Zoo Lights, and get dinner this Saturday.

2019 has had several blockbuster movies whose only actual selling point is flashy graphics, but Cats made the double mistake of being a crap movie and having crap graphics.

I guess triple because Cats has never had that wide of an appeal unlike the Lion King or Star Wars.
