Agreed, it could've been so much more.
Maybe they should make an animated series more geared towards adults, feels like a natural direction to take the franchise.
My thoughts exactly re the Fantastic 4 movies. I want to love them and they have all sucked. I agree with you that the second movie (with Silver Surfer) was the best of the lot.
I got bored from the trailer, think I’ll skip this one. I’m usually a big fan of his films.Just saw Cry Macho and… meh. I’m a fan of Clint Eastwood, and enjoy most of his movies, but this one was slow, and boring at times. He is 91, 90 while filming, so slow was expected, but sadly I didn’t love it. 3/5

"Across 110th Street"--a raunchy and rough cop movie of the sort made only in the early 70s, New York. (Think: Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, The Taking of Pelham 123). Stars the great Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto.
Hopefully the new Obi Wan series with Ewan Mcgregor will be decent.
Just watched 13 Hours with my son. Michael Bay doesn't get a lot of credit, but he is an excellent director. The real heroes were the men who went above and beyond their duty despite being let down.

I just finished this...
I was intrigued, mostly by how well they matched up the lips movements to the overdubbing in American English. But, it kept me intrigued enough to watch the entire season. I loved the killings, especially that happy look on that old man's face when playing the first game of red light green light. He was beautifully into it.
I have two criticisms... first, they make us not mind when a character dies by swaying us against them when their time comes. I'd rather be heartbroken every now and then. Like kill off someone we love early on to let us know that the writer is serious.
Second, what a lame way to transition us into a second season. To base the next one on a bad decision? Phhht, come on writers.
I give it a 3/5, if there had been more explicit violence, more nudity, and kill the people we like while we still like them, it would have rated higher for me. But, damn that old man's face in redlight, green light.... beautiful!!!
The squid game on Netflix. As well as horror films I have yet to see, per usual for my October viewing.
I am on the fifth installment of Wagner's Ring Cycle. This may take a couple days as it is five hours long. It is "Gotterdammerung" or"Twilight of the Gods". Due to its length it isn't as compelling as the others but it does have its moments.

The girl’s death was inevitable, but yeh. Was Ali the the Pakistani? I mean the way it was written, by the time some was doomed to die, we either knew it was inevitable or the character had turned to where the death wasn’t a shock or going against our wishes. In Western movies the new normal is to create and outrage with the violence within the viewer. This one seemed to candy coat it. And, that’s ok. Just a criticism.
But wasn’t player #1’s face in the red ligh green light game while people are getting mowed down just beautiful? The pure joy!! Ha ha, loved it!!’
Too me it was all an allegory for our capitalist system, and how its a cutthroat world. They were all doomed just for playing.
I have the first three seasons on DVD. That was my favorite show back in the day, and when we get snow days (very very rare here) we will pull out the DVDs and watch them over again. I used to crush on Maggie hard. My tastes have changed now, but she is still a spicy lil' thing, ha ha.
I couldn't sleep last night, so I scrolled through here, and saw that Sable had mentioned The Chair. I watched the first four episodes, and while I could relate to the situations, the characters, it was entertaining, well scripted, but it did seem a little 1990's made for TV. I wouldn't call it the best drama, best comedy, nor best romance, just entertaining. I give it a 3/5. I may watch the rest on some other sleepless night, but there are some very well produced things that are better suited for my tastes at the moment.
But, if you are just looking to be entertained by some academia, English department shenanigans, you might really enjoy it more. YMMV
Just saw Minari and it was a good movie. I thought it would talk a lot about racism but it focused more on perceptions and assumptions about people.
