It's hard to pick which is worse, Flea and his band of Halloween mask aliens running into tree branches, or the Mod Squad having a 20km/h chase with excessive screen shake to make you think it's super fast.

Worse than I remembered. Twice as long as it needs to be because they only ideas they seem to have are the usual "car swerves into objects" and "pedestrians run for cover" so they just repeat them over and over.

Weirdly, I think the slow speed might be caused by them doing this with practical effects? Like they couldn't get the cars and scooters up to any kind of speed?

I've seen Andor and The Bad Batch because people said both are good and they turned out good.

I'll keep my eye on Rogue Squadron and if people say it's worth watching because I wanna see my Star Wars Top Gun.

Lol one of the kids from Yellowjackets in a rascal scooter race. What the hell is this, the speeder race level on N64 Shadows of War looked better than this and wasn't nearly as slow. The screen shake does nothing, they should've sped the footage up 2x! Everything looks like it's moving through molasses in this clip, very jarring.

Watched Killers of the Flower Moon

Stuck between telling an Important Message and also sucking total rear end.

The movie has exactly two scenes: Villainy and tragedy. It alternates between these across countless schemes for seemingly forever. None of the characters follow an arc or do anything you don't expect. Everyone is monumentally stupid. The native american characters had no personality at all. Human bags of tragedy to be popped by the villains.

Realized just now I could basically also be describing Goodfellas, but those characters were fun! They had human qualities that resonated and made me think in a different world maybe I couldve been a hedonistic gangster too. KotFM characters were just boring disgusting racists.

Too long! (the movie and this post)

I watched the first half, and I can't recall a single scene. It all just kinda melds together as the same scene of white people doing horrible poo poo over and over and over and apparently that goes on for the 2 hours I didn't watch.

It is genuinely funny how the scene immediately switches from a smooth pan into a frantic shaky cam the moment the shots start flying. In a show full of terrible decisions like Kenobi I think it has to take the cake for having possibly the worst cinematography and camera work in the entire franchise.

It took me a second to realize that there’s no hierarchy of knowledge or any actual mystery to solve in KotFM. You are presented with who is evil (everyone but the native Americans and Kierstin Dunst’s husband) and who are the victims up front.

It’s like a 3 1/2 hour episode of Columbo. Well made though. Can’t fault the production.

It has no redeeming qualities.
