A Walk Among the Tombstones was the first thing I saw Dan Stevens in after his tenure in Dowton Abbey, it was quite some whiplash.

Then he got buff for The Guest and my fate as a Steve-head was sealed.

It's crazy that Dan Steven's chose to be in a couple of episodes of a Hulu series like Welcome to Chippendales but it makes sense because he has some hilarious lines in it which I think is enough for him to sign onto something.

E: same thing with the HBO anthology High Maintenance

I'm bummed that these movies are dull and bad outside of the kaiju fights, though. I'm not asking for much, but what they offer is still disappointing.

I know that boring humans and their boring plot are kind of a staple of the Godzilla franchise, but yeah. If you get Charles Dance to be a bad guy in your movie and I don't remember a single loving line he said, you done hosed up.

Yeah. I love, love, love the Kaiju poo poo but the human stuff just doesn't land. Serizawa was the only grounded character but he wasn't in there much and he ain't around anymore.

Jenny Slate is exec producing and starring in a movie about a haunted app called Mindful

quote:

In Mindful, when her husband shockingly dies while meditating on the Mindful app, Angela (Slate), deeply suspicious of the new wellness craze, uncovers supernatural forces that have fused with the technology. As the app’s popularity spreads like wildfire, she is forced to confront her own demons and dive into a terrifying ‘out of body’ experience in order to save the ones she loves.

Perry Blackshear (They Look Like People) will direct from a script by Emmy, Golden Globe and Writers Guild award winner Les Bohem, who wrote — and exec-produced with Steven Spielberg — SyFi Channel miniseries Taken. Tracey Nyberg (You’re Place Or Mine) will produce, with Aggregate Films executive-producing.

I'm listening to Bone Machine and it occurs to me somebody should make an anthology show based on his songs. Or at least "murder in the red barn"

"I was in his barn last night. His axe was covered in blood!"
"Nothin' odd about that. There's always some killin' you got to do around the farm"

Worth pointing out that the person you're talking about is Tom Waits.

But yes, "what's he building in there?" could be a good David Fincher miniseries

The Godzilla vs Kong trailer had me so hyped from when the hip hop music starts and Godzilla gets on the aircraft carrier and Kong punches him.

I do like the Monsterverse but the best movies are still Kong and Godzilla 2014. I am glad there’s more tho.

This sounds like it would be much better served as some kind of comedy/satire than a straight horror film

I don't know, comedy and horror are pretty closely related - both have to do with tension & release, the juxtaposition of the normal and the abnormal, and are more directly trying to trigger an involuntary emotional response in the audience than other genres. There's been quite a few comedians going into horror lately, and it seems to work out better than just doing straight drama.

He doesn't monologue at all. A twist villain does. Over a zoom call. It's one of the stupidest things I've seen in a big budget film. That was not a good one. G vs K, Skull Island and the 2014 Godzilla were all good though, in very different ways.

no.
G14 was fine the 1st time around but I haven't been able to sit through it again without getting bored. KotM was a mess but I had a good time. Godzilla vs. Kong was dope but had a lot of distractingly hokey vfx shots.

What I'm saying is Shin Godzilla is best Godzilla and it's not even close.

I liked G14, K:SI and GvK. KOTM is a big step down. None hold a candle the Shin Godzilla, or the masterwork that is Pacific Rim.

I actually liked the human drama in Godzilla '14, but the stuff in KotM didn't land for me at all. Nothing felt earned and everybody was either dumb or an irredeemable rear end in a top hat, even though they were supposed to be part of family drama. A common complaint about Godzilla '14 is that people wished it had had kept Brian Cranston around longer. My complaint for most of the human characters in KotM is the exact opposite.

WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?
I saw GvK in IMAX and it ruled. I didn't have high expectations, all I wanted was giant monsters fighting and I got a big, dumb spectacle. Throw in the hollow earth stuff and the ancestral Kong family axe and I can excuse any other faults it had.

Still never seen KOTM.
