When everything clicks into place.....all that training and blood, sweat and tears finally comes together and the hero makes that one last play, move, fight pay off. Cue triumphant music.

I've still got my Avengers IW and Endgame IMAX tickets.

I wish I saved some of my old 90s noughties cinema stubs like The Matrix, Mission Impossible, Galaxy Quest.

My gf keeps the ones that we goto since we started dating, 3 years ago. But theres something about old school cinema stubs that makes it special.

Its the characters and interactions that will get you into it. The plot points you know won't ruin your enjoyment. The sharp writing and the cringe jokes/situations will give you the double whammy of drama and comedy. Tom and Greg will certainly get you into it, if thats not the case, the expensive locations/apartments/mansions will at least give you disgusting property porn.

The Artist win wasn't necessarily unexpected...as it gained momentum heading into the awards season iirc. But it has some what faded out of public consciousness quite quickly. More so than its fellow nominees (Hugo, The Help, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, Tree of Life, War Horse, Extremely Loud....).

Though I don't think the field was particularly strong that year, out of all them, I only rewatch Moneyball.

I loved her in Knives Out and she played her returning Halloween character with such defiance and strength.

Though in saying that, I was very surprised on her win here, as I think the other performances was a bit more..how do I say..more substantial?

But like what other ppl say, a deserved lifetime award if you frame it as such.

The Wedding Singer - It has a lot of heart in that alongside the comedy which edges it for me (Gilmore is hilarious though).

Yeah, he had cool shades.

Barry getting some love 👍

Demolition Man 2: The Secret of the 3 sea shells.

Cap.Jack told me, 'sea turtles mate'.

The Big Dave franchise I thought I never see.

I wouldn't mind a Stuber sequel. Stuber Eats.

Succession, Succession, Succession!!

The Rock for it's completeness, Bay could never seem to top it as his best film, imo. Face/Off has the better action while Con Air is batshit crazy.

Hmm lately, I was impressed with The Fablemanns Gabriel LaBelle and Jeremy Allen White in The Bear (hes probably done other stuff before, but I've never seen him)

And Emma Stone in Superbad (probably the whole cast tbf, but I just knew she had something)

As we have seen lately, starting up a streaming service is incredibly expensive and you will be doing it at a loss for some time. Disney+ I read made a loss of $1.5 billion last year but they can absorb that loss, nonetheless they are looking at their expenditure. Paramount+ too.

SONY didn't look like it had an appetite to start and compete in this market and do they have the content to justify one? Instead they were savvy to strike seals with Disney, Netflix, etc to sell/licence their movies and TV shows to them. Makes a tidy profit for them in the long run so they can concentrate on making tentpoles. Yes Venom 3 is coming.

Wishing Jean Smart a speedy recovery. Her recent run has been inspired. Hacks is great.

From what I read in interviews, a lot of filmmakers (current ones and younger ones) are just in awe with his grasp of filmmaking. His ability to block out and edit a scene in his head and be able to articulate it, technically and emotionally, on the spot. A lot of us would struggle to just keep up. He has a lot to offer, still.

This did not surprise me

"Cartright? Cartright?!!"

Legend

Yes. That shot of the station just releasing, uncontrollably the radiation in the air is the scariest shit I've seen.

The Big Hit?

"If hate were people, I'd be China"

"But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it."

His performance in that party is amazing. How he swings from one emotion to another while providing the laughs.

Predator. I was barely a youngin. 7-9?
