Half the run time is just close ups of the protagonist’s face looking pissed, and her screaming “Hannah! We have to get her back!”

He's a blacksmith and he made it.

lmao

If you think that step 2 is a recent development, you're incredibly wrong.

that non-twist ending had it not taken them so damn long to get there.

If it's a spin off, then shouldn't it be its own story? Its one thing to have cameos and cross overs, but the most significant story from the end of Mabdalorian season 2 was resolved in a different show. That's ridiculous.

The article is new but I swear I've seen the video at the bottom of the piece a couple years ago? Maybe only just last year.

Either way: It looks pretty bad.

It's also really shitty timing for this, since every other article from every other entertainment outlet seems to be about people putting subtitles on for everything anyway.

Spending money to AI people's mouths so they're not distracted by the lip-flap probably isn't going to be much of a concern now that everyone's finally over their weird hangups about subtitles.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind also has some dreamlike sequences

Name any actor, other than Hanks, that you'd rather see solo on the screen that long? And was the Hunt character supposed to be happy having a work-obsessed absentee partner? She's sad and disappointed because she loves him and while he loves her, she's not a priority. She's sad, at least in part, because she's not going to leave him and is resigned to settle.

There's a brief moment when he's climbed into the emergency raft in the wind and rain and dark, and that sound of pouring rain in the middle of the ocean in the middle of the night is stunning.

The person he was based on, William Poole, was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, I don’t exactly know why, but they did have boats, so maybe it wasn’t that inconvenient, but I would like to know too.

Edit: from an article I found

“Bill The Butcher Poole had one of the largest funerals ever seen in the city of New York City, with thousands of mourners following the casket from Christopher Street to the Battery where a ferry took the remains to Green-Wood Cemetery. It was reported that so many people stood on the roofs of buildings to watch the procession that one house collapsed under the weight killing four people. John Morrissey organized an array of Five Points thugs including the “Original Hounds” Engine Number 36 and a gang called the Short Boys to throw rocks and bricks at the mourners.”

It's not just you - the very short scene with Drago, his son and his ex-wife was much more poignant and dramatic than the rest of the movie, centered around Adonis.

The dinner scene

Likely in the minority here, but Yellowjackets. Despite some good performances, I really did not care about the 'adults' plotline. I would have enjoyed a 2hr movie strictly about the teens way more.

Don't be such a cnut

A question on the ending: did Tom Hanks get himself a new Wilson? Or is that up to interpretation?

I’ve noticed with my friends and I there’s two camps of horror movie lovers.

1. The camp that gets scared at horror movies that depict something that could conceivably happen. Like serial killer movies, or movies like Megan.

2. Then there’s the camp that gets scared at movies that is supernatural. Paranormal Activity, Exorcist, anything involving spirits or ghosts.

There’s some overlap and there are people who get scared at both, but my own anecdotal experience is that a lot of people get scared at one and enjoy the other but isn’t scared by it.

Several things wrong with what you're saying:

1. He didn't keep the shipping labels on the opened packages. There is no indication that he did this. Even if he did, do you think he'd somehow be able to keep them in a readable condition after 4 years? Do you think he somehow kept them in some sort of weather-proof container while being out at sea for weeks, having his raft almost completely destroyed by the weather and waves? We see zero evidence of him keeping these things with him.
2. The package you reference being delivered to the ranch isn't "one of the packages", it's literally the only package he didn't open. He's delivering THAT ONE package to the place that kept him going.
3. We don't see any other of the other items in the front seat besides the new Wilson volleyball. No ice skates, etc. I saw no indicator that he was replacing these items. I think he just missed his "friend".

Je tiens à vous faire savoir que je suis français monsieur et que je peux avoir l'opinion que je souhaite quand bien même cela irait à l'encontre de votre pensée.

I was happy it wasn’t one very long movie. Having it pre-cut in episodes made it easier to swallow.

I've seen Critical Drinker's Avatar review, and it was wasted potential. The movie is garbage, but not for the reasons Drinker puts out. He unironically thinks the humans did nothing wrong, despite the fact that the humans were DESTROYING AND TERRORIZING Pandora.

Haven't seen his review of Avatar 2, and going by his review of the first movie, I have no interest in watching it. I haven't even liked Critical Drinker since 2022. What's your point? What are you trying to gain out of this?

It's why the film is called "Cast Away" and not, you know, Castaway.

Great list!

You’re right! That means I can stop agonizing about which one to replace with Before Sunrise.
