At the movies - From the couch

Just came home from seeing Joker 2. I adore the first one, probably in my top few movies from the past decade……but this absolutely sucked!

Felt like it took everything that made the first one so great and just took a massive dump on it, then set it on fire and buried it

I can’t believe when they finished writing the script, that they looked back and thought it was in any way good

Unimaginably bad.

It comes off as though the head players who made the first one had zero interest in making a second but got massive pressure and dollars from the studio to do so.

A ■■■■■■■ musical court drama? Everytime the movie got remotely interesting (which was rare) they broke out into song. Its jaw droppingly bad.

This is an expensive pisstake. A completely orchastrated and deliberate franchise suicide.

Who doesn’t love a heist movie

When I heard it was going to be musical and they casted Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn I was out

My partner is desperate to see it but I keep telling her apparently it’s flaming hot garbage. But she just doesn’t believe it could be that bad considering she enjoyed the first one.

She will be disappointed if she loved the first one

I honestly don’t want to waste our money lol.
Sometimes the critics don’t like something and it’s still good, but this thing is universally panned, fans, critics, casual movie goers, word of mouth.

I haven’t heard one good thing about it.

Team America - 6/10 ■■■■ yeah
Southpark movie - 5/10 mmmkay
A few good men - 8/10 best of the 3. Although it wraps up just like Hollywood likes with the conclusion at the end.

but fk its so good. its held up so well

Just finished The Stranger.
Thought it was excellent and the performance of the main two actors exceptional.

Caddo Lake - this is a real good thriller with some sweet twists. Loved it.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - just a great sequel to part 1. Good fun

Salems Lot remake. Was ok

The Substance, best movie of the year. Not for the squeamish.

Just on a Few Good Men, has there ever been a more pointless role in a movie than Demi Moore’s character?!

I watched this a couple of nights ago.

I get what youre saying, but I think having a contrasting character to Tom Cruise allows watchers to more clearly see what a twat Cruise is.

Also, I think the adversarial relationship they have serves somewhat as an entree to Cruise and Jessup battling it out in the courtroom.

I reckon Kevin Bacon is really underutilised in the move too. Despite him and Cruise being at opposite ends of the table, it never really felt like their relationship was ever genuinely in doubt. I think they could have focused on this a bit more and maybe that should have taken precendence over the Cruise/ Moore relationship and she could have been relegated to the role that Kevin Pollack was playing (who is really totally utterly pointless).

She was a 10 & nice to look at.

Baby Yoda and E.T has some competition looks great.

Just curious, but has anyone seen the new Terrifier movie, or Terrifier 2? Are they actually good, or just incredibly, ridiculously violent?

I’m a bit of a horror movie enthusiast, and this franchise seems to be flavour of the month at the moment. But I’m not really interested in things that only have extreme violence as their selling point and the evil clown thing is derivative to say the least.

More of a Captain Spaulding fan?

Ha, haven’t seen any of those. But just by sheer coincidence I’ve been listening to White Zombie’s La Sexorcisto album the past few days.

I’ve only seen the first of the…I guess you’d call it Misfits series.
One night I just thought I’d see what the fuss was about. It’s pretty…depraved and diverting, but not really essential for a horror fan, for mine.
Interesting to see Dwight Schrute, though.
