Also, Melissa McCarthy is NOT FUCKING FUNNY. Her husband buys her roles. Don't get me wrong, Melissa McCarthy is a fine actress. I will never say otherwise. Her role in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" was brilliant.

But her shit is BOUGHT and not EARNED. She would never earn the right to play Ursula. In fact, when Lizzo met McCarthy, McCarthy said to to her "... why did I get the role?" She even knows she's shit compared to Lizzo.

Should have been Danny DeVito imo

Damn you weren’t lying. Her husband produced like every movie she’s in

Hate my opinions, or even hate me for my opinions, but I'm not a liar <3

This is like saying Melinda Gates buys opportunities for Bill Gates. Where do you think Ben Falcone's money came from?

Yes, Melissa and her husband have co-written several movies, so of course he's going to get a producer credit. She does as well. In most cases, Melissa is doing him a favor by being a "name" to get his project greenlit (not the other way around).

You're acting like Ben Falcone was some media mogul that Melissa glommed on to rather than a bit actor who never wrote, produced, or directed anything until several years after Melissa earned an Oscar nomination and her career went into the stratosphere

Just watched the documentary Attica. Soooo good and sooooo heartbreaking.

The Rescue
Documentary about the rescue of the Thai soccer team from an underground cave. This is the 56th movie I've seen that came out in 2021, and it now sits at #1. Incredibly moving and terrific filmmaking.

I want you back 7.5 / 10

Parts I really liked. Other parts were over the top. Jenny Slate was wonderful. Overall, a good Rom Com considering most are 6/10 or below.

I've been meaning to watch this after a friend recommended it a couple weeks ago.

Watched The French Dispatch last night (free on HBO MAX). Its a quirky movie - basically a few somewhat inter-connected stories. I really enjoyed - though admittedly the last 'story' fell flat. But the one with Benicio del Toro and Lea Seydoux made it all worth it. Great ensemble cast.

Happy to help.

I'll totally call her out for being a copycat if we're ever caught wearing it in the same place though.

Watching A Journal for Jordan:

I guess I watch too many horror/thriller movies because I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and it's just... more romance.

[pearljammer]

The Eyes of Tammy Faye - 4/10. Just not very good

[DMBstandUP1984]

The Batman 8/10

What breaks the ice 5/10

[ricky towel]

Watched “No Exit” on Hulu.


Very bad movie.

[Benny003]

Free Guy (available on HBO Max)

I enjoyed it a lot. Couple of laugh out loud moments. This could have easily been a terrible movie, but they did a nice job with it.

[ToySoldier#34]

Seeing Batman on Sunday, looking forward to it!

[Benny003]

West Side Story (2021, now available on HBO Max and Disney+)

I had never seen West Side Story before, though I was aware of it of course. It's definitely a musical through and through, which is not a particular interest to me. However, I was interested because Spielberg directed it and it's nominated for best picture. Overall, it was good, but it's very long at 2.5 hours. It had that Spielberg feel to it with lots of polished lens flares and spot lighting effects. I'm not sure that anything unique was done with the story. It just seemed like a polished, updated version of the old one from what I could tell and heard from others. Not my cup of tea, but the production quality was good as expected and I'm glad I watched it.

SCREAM (2022)

As a big fan of the franchise I enjoyed the film. It kept with the spirit of the franchise with the humor and fun kills. I will say that I did not jump at any of the jump scares. I think they did good interlacing the original while keeping it fresh.

Neve Campbell was amazing, of course.

Was really cool to see the actress I worked w/for 3 years, Jenna Ortega (Tara Carpenter), do a good job.

West Side Story (2021)


15/10

Fucking fantastic. Amazing. Just as good as the original movie. If a remarkable achievement. I love this movie so much.

[Route_2]

CODA was really good

[dmbfd15]

Watched “Nobody” last night. Bob Odenkirk is a certified badass. But good lord that soundtrack was awful.

[eggsrsweet]

Watched West Side Story (2021) a few nights ago with my parents; it was my second time seeing it and I liked it a lot more this time around. Everyone in it is just so good.

[eggsrsweet]

Drive My Car is hands down my favorite of the BP noms. Parallel Mothers should’ve been nominated over Nightmare Alley btw

[ExistenceNow]

Drive My Car:

THREE god damn hours of people moping around and blankly reading words off a page. What a chore.
