Find it interesting they are doing a direct sequel to the movie since it was already done on the TV show (which was excellent, BTW). I guess the figured no one has seen it anyways...

And with that, The Exorswift is no more…

I saw A Haunting in Venice Yesterday.

I think it might be the best of the three films made by Kenneth Branagh adapting Agatha Christie's books.

Much more natural shots then the first two films, there us just less CGI happening and the film feels more authentic because of it.

The cast did well and it's an interesting case and very much has Halloween Vibes, so will be putting this in my movies I watch around Halloween time. I will say it's not too scary so people who don't like horror nights should like this and horror fans will like some of the shots and how its filmed but don't expect it to be like the Nun 2.

watched guardians volume 3 today and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. it's not perfect by any means, but it was interesting in a way that few Marvel films (even pre-Endgame) successfully accomplished.

apologies for the double post, but it's stunning how successful these Conjuringverse films continue to be. the nun 2, a sequel to a so-so horror film that is a spinoff of a very good horror film, has already made nearly $180 million worldwide on a $40 million budget. it was released just two weeks ago. even as someone who loves these films (Conjuring 2 may be my favorite modern horror film) I haven't seen The Nun 2 yet. and yet ... here we are!

As a Sam RockWell Fan...this looks fun

Started watching Solar Opposites on Hulu. It’s a great jump into Adult Animation for them and I had high expectations considering it’s from Justin Roiland.

Bringing this up because I watched the show earlier this year and finished season 4 pretty quick after it came out.

Was not a fan of the new voice but it grew on me and honestly season 4, I think was the best season for the aliens. I think the Wall plot has kinda...gone down hill. Season 1/2 those were great stories and think the newer stuff is still good but not as interesting, at least to me

Rango is such an underrated movie. I used to watch it so many times as a kid and now I see why I did

Paramount changed around a bunch of it's 2024 schedule, moving some films back by a full year and some up by a few weeks. The most notable changes are MI: Dead Reckoning (Part 2) moving to 2025 and A Quiet Place: Day One moving to Summer.

Magazine Dreams, which was thought after its screening in January to be a major potential awards film (which is why Disney scooped it up), has been removed from the calendar due to the Jonathan Majors situation, which now sees him on trial.

Script is supposedly really good, shame it has to be tied to all this.

Huge yikes at these snippets:

Crisis at Marvel: Jonathan Majors Back-Up Plans, ‘The Marvels’ Reshoots, Reviving Original Avengers and More Issues Revealed

Marvel has enjoyed a nearly uninterrupted string of hits ever since it started independently producing its movies with 2008’s “Iron Man.”

damn, didn’t know marvel’s new slogan was “fix it in post.”

That's always been their slogan.

I have not read anything about this movie because I want to go in blind. But. Are we under the impression that this is an interpretation of the Crane Wife story from Japanese folklore?
