Honestly I hate when media does that, it’s like romanticization of suicide, when the person’s scene in Babylon who killed them self played it was slow melodic music playing along side with them smiling, it just paves way for naive minds to believe that suicide is a good way out.

Based on some half-assed googling, it would appear no movie has ever been nominated for best picture at the Oscars and favorite movie at the Kids Choice Awards before this year. Avatar and Top Gun both did it this year. That's kinda weird

The ending, him delivering the package that saved his life. The beautiful woman with the red hair and and easy smile gives him direction and pulls off to show the angel wing on the back, showing she was the artist. Him pondering where he should go. You know he’s going to follow.
It ending in quiet as much of the movie was quiet. One of the most beautiful endings to a movie in all time.

I kind of feel at times it is becoming the opposite. With Film you really have to condense the story down to fit the run time and hope it does well enough to justify a sequel. At least with a series the idea of spreading it out seems to work in many cases, especially when adapting from a novel.

The show did a really good job of mirroring it's book.

I think Kenobi wouldn't work as a film. There's too much going on for just 90 to 120 minutes.

They're fine. Lots of visual splendour, but I don't like... care about any of the characters and the plots are bland and formulaic. They're a solid theater experience but I don't dwell on them afterward, as I would with movies that I find to be truly great. More like potato chips than a steak dinner.
I do legitimately respect how... earnest they are, that's not very common these days. Even if my eyes want to roll out of my head at times.

The Haunting of Hill House
The first five episodes of that could have worked really good as a film and still maintained a better connection to the book. There’s just not enough there to extend it to ten episodes. It also just drops quality considerable after the fifth/sixth episode and becomes weirdly saccharine and soft.

This was what came to my mind first. Glad I'm not the only one who thought of it.

Off the top of my head, Will Smith in 7 Pounds was pretty moving.

Of those mentioned, Falcon and Winter Soldier was the biggest offender of stretching the concept thin. I feel the recent Marvel series have the problem of trying to lead into the next thing, so they try not to do too much plot progression so something is saved for later without a satisfying resolution.

The Protector - Jackie Chan's least child friendly movie! It is a buddy cop movie, where they even go to a massage parlour....

Which is odd because they have a TON of content to pull from, that being the comics.

Not a movie, but Tokyo Vice on HBO max was fucking awesome. I ended up loving it so much. Highly recommended
