Oh goodness

Mav sacrifices himself to save Rooster! He couldn’t live with letting Goose’s son die too! This is great! Wow, genuinely heartfelt.

(A couple minutes later) time to buddycop heist an F14 and get out of here!

It was like… Star Wars 9 where Rey accidentally killed Chewie and I sat up in my chair thinking the story would salvage itself with real stakes. But nahhhh fake Chewie bro

Yeah, the time to see Top Gun: Maverick was in the theater.

In regards to HBO shows, The Leftovers isn't exactly hidden, but it's a little lower profile, and I recently watched it and very much enjoyed it. Three seasons, with an ending.

I found Top Gun 2 to be very good fun when it was about planes going fast, but mediocre to bad whenever anything else was happening. Then again I'm probably not exactly the target audience, since I'm not all that nostalgic about the first part :shrug:.

I didn't see the trailer but yeah it was good. Djinn are good story tellers and the movie reflects that, hard to miss with that formula--looking at you Disney.

A little disrespect and rudeness can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day
My issue with Road to Perdition is that I absolutely in no way can buy Tom Hanks as a ruthless mob enforcer.

I think in my mind a period drama is just a boring rear end genre but I always like them after 20 minutes of sitting still lol

agree on hanks, he is just a teddy bear i don't really see it either

ok it was good. story was predictable af but that wasn't really the point. the cinematics looked good on my lil tv

think i need a bigger tv

Blood Machines on Shudder is pretty neat too. It's a Carpenter Brut music video mashed with a pulpy Sci Fi story with a spaceship that is also a lady and maybe also a god? If Carpenter Brut doesn't sound familiar, you've probably heard their music in the Hotline Miami games. I believe it's about an hour long total. Shudder splits it into 3 episodes but it's clearly meant to be watched as one short movie.

Not a recommendation to just Field Mousepad, if you want a weird artsy thing to watch either totally sober or enhanced in some way, it's a good selection.

Oh definitely, he's got too much of a nice guy image going on.

However since he's gotta be sympathetic, casting Tom Hanks is a convenient shortcut.

Do you like bad cheesy anthology series, like Tales from the Darkside, the 80's Twilight Zone, or the 90's Outer Limits? Then you'll love Don't Worry Darling! I personally thought it was fun and loving stupid and had no regrets about putting it on.

I love Natasha Lyonne but when I realized it was a procedural murder of the week like Psych and Monk and haha look a joke about Burn Notice (we will do more product placement than them though haha) I was a little disappointed. The promos didn't make that clear.

Late reply but apparently its not even product placement, as in they aren't getting paid to feature those brands of beer. Rian Johnson just wanted to use real stuff.

All the behind the scenes drama put me off the movie entirely. The director dating the male lead and the weird power imbalances that always creates, the female lead trashing it openly, Chris Pine face, all of it.

You're being pretty generous I think. The flipping over the tiles and the running back and forth to push the buttons were just not at all fun to watch, two of the most tedious and boring games in the whole series.

That's true actually, I'd throw the rope comp in with those too. I meant about the best you could do in terms of making things fair, but the events themselves were boring and edited to just kill time.
