I would say that the final act of The World's End is as good as Shaun or Hot Fuzz. From the point that Gary runs away from Andy to finish the golden mile the movie gets really, really good as it finally puts a level of desperation and personal stakes into the film that was sorely lacking.

Nope. Gary is a dick. The film's attempted redemption of him (well, for given values of redemption) fall completely flat, and then end up not even mattering because stupid alien cluster gently caress ending.

Like imagine a movie that starts the same way as Nobody / John Wick / Taken / etc., but instead of the elite top assassin or whatever the guy really is just some schmuck and it keeps escalating to where he's, with just a bit of cleverness and luck, haphazardly killing his way through the Russian mob.

Booby Fett had major structural problems. He had already accomplished his goal before the first episode even aired, and then... did literally nothing after that. He didn't do things, he just showed up in places and things happened around him. Any actual forward momentum is driven by other characters.

His motivation is also inscrutable. What did he want to accomplish? By EP 4 (e.g. nearly two hours) he said he wanted to "do it right", but again he doesn't actually do anything, so it's meaningless.

I think they really screwed up by having him already in place from the Mando end stinger. If they didn't, they could have told the flashback story without having to have him spin his wheels doing nothing in the present.

Along with Darkwing Duck these are all apparently in some kind of shared continuity. The most recent Duck Tales has an episode with the kid in Tale Spin as a grown up loser running the failing sea plane business. The clips I've seen of it on YouTube kind of make me want to check it out to see if it's worth watching with the kids.

Pfft call me when there's a gummi bears crossover. (and no I don't mean that stupid video game)

If Disney is going this hard with the proposal, that means they have finally solved the one problem that stopped EPCOT from being a residential community: The fact that the residents would have the right to vote (and thus, to potentially change the master plan). I can't even imagine what kind of loopholes they have figured out to maintain corporate control of all municipal government.

Seriously. The Sony UBP- X700M is exactly what you'll want here. It'll play all of your old disc media, while most 4k blu-ray players will only play blu-rays. I got one for myself and it worked so well I got one for my grandmother as well (so her movie nights with her friends wouldn't have to worry about having the right type of disc).

I got this BluRay player on black friday, it's real good.

I was around during Knowles' heyday and he was just as obnoxious and terrible then as he is (presumably) now. The only thing he pioneered for me was a lifestyle check so I could be sure I wouldn't end up like him.

Yeah that Bruce Willis stuff seems to NOT be a) Bruce choosing to pad his nest egg or b) his family making him work for the same. Instead it feels like these hangers on and related posse (Eads, the prompter guy, et al) trying to get as much blood from the stone for themselves before the inevitable.

I wonder if anyone would notice if you made one of those left behind style antichrist movies but then had the protagonists realize "Holy poo poo we were totally wrong this isn't the end times" and then live their lives to the fullest after leaving their apocalyptic death cult. Just the whole back half of the movie people making wholesome secular decisions.
