I wish I enjoyed Primate as much as everyone else seems to be.

Violent Night is essentially an β€˜80s kid movie with a little more gore thrown in, but not as much as you’d think.

Watching Paul W.S. Anderson’s debut film, Shopping, and it is wild someone watched this and said β€œGet that man a fucking Mortal Kombat movie.” I mean I’m glad they did, but weird that this led to that.

Fred Dekker wrote a scrapped Cliffhanger sequel called Cliffhangers Next year, we're getting a Cliffhanger reboot, but it won't be based on a script Fred Dekker wrote called Cliffhangers

I wish there was someone whose job it was to just resurrect Fred Dekker projects that were never made. His Godzilla movie sounds awesome for instance. And I get his Predator movie has flaws, but I still kind of love it.

Looks like I’ll be in the minority, but Zootopia 2 didn’t really work for me. Felt like a rehash of the first one’s point-of-view and not done as well, and committed a lot of sequel sins that always bother me. There were still fun moments, but just not enough for me personally.

Sisu: Road to Revenge is as insane and entertaining as the first Sisu. I hope showing this as the Screen Unseen gets more eyes on it because this is a movie to enjoy with big crowds. #AMCscreenunseen

I’m not a huge fan of most of the Disney live action remakes I’ve seen, but I also don’t understand why the existence of them pisses so many people off. The originals still exist.

Biggest complaint about The Running Man 2025 is not enough Katy O’Brian.

Man, I’m not sure I’m capable of disliking an Osgood Perkins movie, so with that being said, I really liked Keeper.

Been trying to hit 52 books for the last several years and never quite got there and this year did it with 49 days left. I’d like to thank the Academy…

Watching 1947’s The Unsuspected. This might be the most underrated classic film noir that I’ve seen. Gets better every time I watch it, and it’s one of my favorite Audrey Totter performances. Claude Rains is great as well. #Noirvember

I loved it. Kind of amazing how there’s never an era when a β€œbody snatchers” story doesn’t work.

I don’t know that I will but it’s a movie that I found enough interesting about it, I could see myself giving it another chance down the road.

Apologies. I was just recounting my experience with it. I definitely wasn’t questioning what you said.

I did get to see it in a theater in 94 but not sure how wide the release was.

It’s a movie I would say is worth a watch. But yeah, I’m glad Yorgos exists, but he’s hit or miss for me.

I did not like Bugonia, but will not be shocked if I like it better in multiple viewings.

Are there people who think all PG-13 movies are terrible and all R-rated films are great? Because, a lot of these comments about the rating of Predator: Badlands seem to be saying that. And they’re mostly coming from accounts who clearly love them some PG-13 superhero films.

Really excited to see Predator: Badlands. I still maintain this franchise is one of the very few with more than three entries that doesn’t have a single bad movie in it. I’m not counting the β€œvs. Predator” ones.
