Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
While I would agree that movies have been corrupted by television, but it's not because of dialogue. It's movies copying TV's current fascination with "binge" storytelling. I'm tired of 2 1.2 hour movies that can't even tell a complete story. And yes, Shaun the Sheep is a great example of ...

Re: Rate The Last TV Show Episode You Watched
I really enjoyed the first season of Reacher . Lots of over the top (and occasionally gory) fight scenes with a likable performance by Alan Ritchson in the lead and some good supporting characters too. Can't say the same about season 2. The fight scenes are less interesting, the stakes are low and t...

Re: GODZILLA "Monsterverse" Spinoff Series Coming to Apple+
I gave up after three episodes. Terrible writing and acting.

Re: Andy's Youtube Uploads - Post-Siskel & Ebert SNEAK PREVIEWS Archive Unearthed
Andy, do you have more of the Lyons/Medved episodes to upload? I've been watching these lately and they're quite entertaining. They don't have the combative nature of Siskel and Ebert but they do play well off each other and are both good at expressing their views to the camera. I find it amazing th...

I've always liked Gavin Greenaway's music for Illuminations. One of my favorite pieces of music written for a Disney park.

Re: Disney's SNOW WHITE & HER SEVEN POLITICALLY CORRECT COMPANIONS
Really strange self-destructive behavior from Disney. First they claim the photos are "fake," then they backtrack and say the photos are indeed from their production, but not "official" set photos. The movie isn't even finished filming (I think) and they're already on the defensi...

Re: Truly Memorable Movies since 2000?
I think there are many reasons for the lack of memorable movies in the last twenty or so years. One is that "the movies," meaning films made specifically to be shown in a theater and marketed as such, finally lost the long running battle with TV as America's entertainment medium of choice....

Re: "Kiss The Girl" lyrics changed so Eric doesn't "force himself" on Ariel
Don't know if this reflects a national trend, but my local Alamo Drafthouse is moving The Little Mermaid to a single auditorium, the small kind with only four rows. The large auditoriums are getting the Spider-Verse movie.

Re: Rate The Last TV Show Episode You Watched
Rabbit/Hole (Paramount +) I really enjoyed this new series starring Kiefer Sutherland as a "corporate espionage" expert who gets involved in a vast deep state conspiracy. I honestly can't tell if the show is trying to appeal to right wingers or is making fun of them. Probably both. Suther...

Re: Rate The Last TV Show Episode You Watched
Overall, I enjoyed this season. The last two episodes were terrific. Of course there were the two episodes that people complained about. There was that lengthy one with Dr. Pershing that I figured was probably designed to set up a future plot point. That turned out to be true but the revelation wasn...

Re: I guess none of us bothered with the Oscars this year?
If there’s anything the Oscars are especially good at, it’s as a reminder of what the zeitgeist was at the time. That seems particularly true with this year’s winner, Everything Everywhere All at Once, a film I have not seen, nor do I intend to.* It may have swept every major award and have a high r...

Re: "Spielberg's Flop Era" - Telegraph Editorial
THE TERMINAL isn't a great movie but I've long been a big fan of Williams' score. Probably the most "recent" score of his that I regularly play. I re-watched THE TERMINAL recently for the first time since its theatrical release and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. A funny and w...

Can you watch 1883 and 1923 without having seen any of Yellowstone?
