These movies are for stupid people.
dangit, I was all exited for a second, thought a third one came out
I really liked Glass Onion ;-;
There is a 3rd one coming…
Then how does OP know the third one is bad if it isn’t out yet? 🤓
Sometimes past performance is indicative of future return. :) Let’s say Uwe Boll had a new movie coming out… LOL.
I was going to be snarky and dig for one good Uwe Boll movie, but the simple act of opening their Wiki page crashes my browser
Also ahh, Rian Johnson bashing got it, I really liked Breaking Bad & Looper so shrugs
Never saw Breaking Bad, and like I say, I saw Looper and liked it until I thought about it.
The whole premise of Looper is mobsters in the future can’t kill anyone because technology, but somehow can send people to hitmen in the past.
The hitmen in the past get paid in gold strapped to the victim, and if you get a TREMENDOUS payout, that means you killed your future self and are now retired.
Great premise, right?
-
Future police can track guns and homicides, but apparently can’t track gold or time travel?
-
If you retired your hitman in the past, why would you need to kill them in the future? They’ve been retired at that point for decades. How did they fuck that up to the point of needing killing.
-
If you’re paying your hitmen in gold, why have a huge payout for killing yourself? The whole reason the film exists is “what happens if future you gets away?”
Let’s say you have present day hitmen a, b, and c but you need to kill future hitmen A, B, and C.
Send A to b, B to c and C to A. No big payout required and no need to retire past hitmen. It’s a job like any other.
But like I say, the shotgun design kicks ass and the actors were great!

Netflix picked it up (straight to DVD, basically). It’s called “Wake Up Dead Man”, presumably because all the people with taste died during their accidental viewing of the second movie.
Mmmmmm. I don’t know about this one…
I loved the first one and despised the second one.
I really don’t know how I feel about a third, but I’m certain it will set the tone for how I feel about any subsequent movies.
I watched the first one with my extended family on one of those Christmas gatherings where everyone is trying to pretend they don’t hate each other. To be fair, I watched it a second time on my own to see if the movie was actually better than I initially thought.
nope. I appreciate Chris Evans’ portrayal of a shithead legacy with a grudge, because my real life sets me up to be a guy like that in my real family (which is very much like the fictional family in the movie). It’s just so ham handed, though. Like an episode of a kid’s Disney show from the late 90’s.
And Daniel Craig sounds ridiculous. Good god
I really liked Looper until I made the mistake of, you know, thinking about it for more than 10 seconds. The shotgun design still kicks ass though which is about the only good thing I can say about it now, oh, and the performers were quite good.
Last Jedi absolutely shit the bed in every way possible, so at that point Rian Johnson was dead to me. He needs to pay an average to slow 5th grader to come in and point out all his plot holes so he can have someone else fix them.
Never watched Knives Out, highly unlikely I will.
Spot on
To be fair to Rian on TLJ, from what I understand, he was given absolutely zero information to work with from JJ, and when he tried to salvage the plot of TFA and get the franchise moving again, they scrapped his character work and plot lines and “somehow Palpatine returned” was what we got. The new trilogy was a fucking mess, and I don’t blame Rian for that, especially because I know he can write a tight plot.
“Somehow Palpatine Returned” was Rise of Skywalker… after Johnson painted them into a corner by killing Snoke, reducing the resistance to a size that could fit on the Falcon, and offing Luke Skywalker instead of Leia when he had the chance.
But I tend to give Rise of Skywalker a pass because a) Johnson fucked them and b) Carrie Fisher died and it was supposed to be “her” movie, like Force Awakens was Hans and Last Jedi was Lukes. :(
Kathleen Kennedy admitted that the story wasn’t mapped out and that JJ would work with Rian who was to direct the second and write the third film. However, JJ abandoned the project for Star Trek and Cloverfield, and left Rian in the wind. The third movie went through three different directors and a handful of writers (with Rian being excluded completely) before Kennedy called JJ back in, who then abandoned everything Rian had done in 8 and decided that he wanted to make 9 all by himself, thus, “Somehow Palpatine returned,” not to mention that intro that makes the first 20 minutes of the movie feel like a recap to a film that never happened. It was a clusterfuck.
My hope for Star Wars died during this scene:
Like, I’ll eventually watch all these spinoff shows and I’m hopeful for Andor (the Mandelorian had some cool moments), but when PETA got ahold of the plot I knew we were too far gone.The one Star Wars property I hate more than Last Jedi is Rogue One, and the writer/director they brought in to “save” that film is the Andor show-runner. So… nope, I’m out.
He’s actually on record saying his super power is he never cared about Star Wars. So the polar opposite of a Dave Filloni.
The whole plot of that first movie was entirely based on that there is a person who pukes when she lies. Tell me please how that is not idiotic?
Get em lol
First one was ok because of Chris P and Chris P. Ana De Armas did her bit too.
Second one just got lost.
