The Great season 3 dropped and it’s still as fun as ever. Hoult and Fanning have such great chemistry together.

I remember waiting ages for Jurassic Park, and then getting to my local Blockbuster, and seeing all the copies already rented out. I was so upset lol. Oh yeah, that wait was painful. My parents wouldn't let us see it in the theater, so I felt like I was the only kid in 4th grade who still had not seen it. Looks like it came out in June 93, and didn't go to home video until October 94. That's a lifetime in kid time.

I was 6  It's still easily one of my favorite movies, and not just for nostalgia. The special effects are still good, even the CGI and especially the practical effects, the story works, and it has this shot

The book is way more violent, and introduced me to the concept of books being wildly different from their movie adaptations. Malcom dies at the end of the first book, but then Crichton stuck in the beginning of the sequel a little bit explaining that no, he almost died, but he fought hard and now he's ok and can be the main character of the second book. My parents did refuse to explain the part where they go past the laboratory on the tour and the lawyer says, "this is all...auto..auto-erotica?"

Mrs. Davis' final episode aired and it's really really good. Betty Gilpin honestly deserves an Emmy for it. It's a ridiculous show but it mixes the humor and drama well. Chris Diamantopoulos especially was hilarious. I'm not sure if this is a true spoiler since it's more of a general show observation but I'll be on the safe side. I wasn't expecting it, being a Lindelof show but it's like an anti-Lost. All the major mysteries are answered and wrapped up in a satisfying manner. All the hints, themes and references are more just for flavor rather than pointing to some twist ending or deeper mystery. If you have peacock, I'd highly recommend it.

There are only a handful of dramatic shows ever made that A) continue to expand on the world they create in an exciting way, B) don't outstay their welcome, and C) nail the ending, and The Leftovers is one of them. You're in for a treat!

A MIRACLE posted:You know what was a sick action movie that’s actually on streaming is Wrath of Man which is on prime right now. Statham basically channels Robert Patrick from terminator 2, it’s awesome Relatedly, it seems every bus and billboard around here is advertising the latest (maybe?) Guy Ritchie film "Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre" which is on Prime apparently. It's got Hugh Grant and Jason Statham and very middling reviews, but I'd love it to succeed just so they have come up with a sequel for the most awkward title ever. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre 2: Pomme de Terre 2 Ruse 2 Guerre

The old movie model was: 1 year after theater run ended: VHS priced for Rental 1 year after VHS: Premiere on HBO or SelecTV. 6 months - 1 year after Cable Debut: VHS priced to own 1 - 2 years later: debut on network TV (when possible) This was the general model although there were lots of exceptions and stuff.

Also, hey, I had a job as a video store clerk, so it stimulated my economy.  (the real margins were in Adult Movies. I think the average porno made an ROI of 1000%, just crazy money) Streaming Wars has hosed everything up though and it's stupid when something like Shazam flops and flips to HBO Max in 3 weeks. Just part of the Hollywood Fuckup we're going through right now.

In the old days the turnaround was quick for flop movies but yeah, the big hits would go away for a little while and give you time to miss them. I do honestly wonder if it’s the smartest idea even if they’ve probably got numbers that show it is. Like it used to be a big deal when a film first aired on network TV! The networks would pay lots of money for it and hype it up and have extra footage and so on. Now most of your secondary revenue is just subs and if they were that lucrative WBD and Disney wouldn’t be pulling programming. Maxwell Lord fucked around with this message at 01:12 on May 20, 2023 |

They are absolutely losing money. I would have gone to see the D&D movie but I knew it would be on streaming in six weeks. Everybody else is too. They've killed theaters for streaming, which is dumb as poo poo IMO. And has very bad consequences to the kind of movies that get made.

To append my Always Sunny + spin-offs roundup AppleTV finally started working on my PS5 so I finally watched all three seasons of Mythic Quest. Its...fine? Its almost aggressively fine. The first season is the most coherent and it kind of unravels from there as they find new and increasingly strained reasons for all these disparate characters that dislike each other to interact. Every season has a one-off flashback episode that's easily better than every other episode, which makes you wonder what you're getting out of it the other 90% of the time. I dunno. I also made it to the end of S3 of Fringe and it feels like a good enough stopping point. Its almost like when X-Files ended, it split cleanly between Supernatural and Fringe; one gets magic and fun one-offs but an appallingly terrible main plot, the other gets sci-fi and a strong main plot but incredibly boring one-offs. Its frustrating because Fringe has a pretty strong cast and a good setup, but every single standalone episode is a complete slog, with the exception of the one where Peter Weller is a time traveling murderer.

Yeah, Mythic Quest is aggressively okay. I don't think I've ever laughed outloud, but it's okay enough to keep watching. The best episodes are the singular dramatic episodes each season where they focus on the history of video game development. Unrelated. Anyone know why HBO removed Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition? The Extended Editions are still available for The Two Towers, the Return of the Ring, and the entire Hobbit trilogy

"Aggressively Fine" is a perfect way to describe Mythic Quest. I'm still not done with the show and I started watching when the first season went up. Every couple months I'll watch an episode, enjoy it well enough with a few chuckles, and then have absolutely zero desire to watch another one. Then a few months go by and the cycle continues.

So I loved the first two seasons of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel, hated seasons 3 and 4 as the characters all became caricature of themselves. It seems like they've self-corrected for the final season 5, and I'm into it again.

Cinematographers can save bad movies such is my theory, such as Biddle was on hand for Event Horizon but I see no other possibility but he also ghost directed it. Anderson could not have done it. I refuse all evidence to the contrary
