Movie recommendations

Haven’t read the book, but really enjoyed the film. Saoirse Ronan delivered an amazing performance (as expected).

If I had to watch one sharknado, which is the best of the franchise?

skip it and do something more on your tip…

I like sharks too though, which one has both?

how about sharkula, how’s that one?

sharks are an overdone genre. its kitsch.

catnado looks watchable but I might regret saying this.

Pootie For President!!!

Have you seen The Meg and Meg 2
Statham doing statham things .

I think I did watch the first one but I watch so many movies that the memory of them sometimes runs together. Most of what I remember is Rainn Wilson and the part when the larger meg eats the one that they managed to kill, or something like that.

Was the second Meg worth watching? I used to be a Statham fan but ever since the beekeeper I’m extra suspect of his recent efforts.

I did think that Wrath of Man 2021 was pretty good though. Statham doing Statham things as you so aptly put, however that might be the last one which I recall seeing and thinking was good.

His films are … mixed , getting worse
I think they’re becoming so dumb they’ll start naming them bee man, working man, shark man , transport man. He always explains his accent / military history at the beginning of each film … add some sad back story etc so there is some attempt at character development and motivation.

They are what they are …

Meg 2 - more dumb nonsense

There’s a bee keeper 2 in the works.

This why I rate all the movies and shows I watch on IMDB just so I can remember what I’ve seen.

Dear god if I had that kind of dedication to anything… That’s a really good idea though, unfortunately backtracking through god knows how many years of media would become a new hobby in and of itself. Sometimes I feel like there are more movies (and anime) that I’ve seen than ones that I haven’t.

I lack pretty badly in TV show knowledge after a certain point though. Totally swore off tv for years because I really hate the “rope you in and keep you going mixed with advertising and curt plot slicing” mentality which is so prevalent. Netflix changed some of that but I didn’t have the energy to catch up by that point, so I just never got reinvested in it.

At one point maybe 10 years ago (definitely pre-covid) I told someone “just wait and in a couple of years and you’ll see more major stars who you recognize doing television that those you recognize in films” and I feel like we’re there at this point. I don’t know half the actors doing films but a lot of major stars are fully wrapped up in television, both on the side of acting as well as production.

I just don’t have the energy for any of it, that’s why a movie is still easier for me to give up on in 10 minutes rather than wait 10 episodes to dip out on the last 2 because my second episode predictions turned out to be correct.

Stupid brain, stop coming up with answers. Nobody likes a spoiler.

I hear you. I swore off tv on the networks because of commercials, but I’ll buy the discs of comfort shows. I have bad taste in film. I know I’ve said it before, but I hate that streaming has made it so less stuff comes out on physical media in the states. I don’t want to rent my entertainment. I didn’t start rating everything until a few years ago. It’s been fun to go back to some from my youth just to rate it.

I love that film. I like my sci-fi cheap and gritty :smile:
