[insert princzess' obligatory addition of Gunsmith Cats]...Wait, it's out of print...Again...Shit... I am always somewhat annoyed by the cost of physical media anime. I'm a tight-fisted, penny-pincher when it comes to live-action movies that are usually <20, and seems like most animated stuff...

Yeah, Wakanda Forever is perhaps peak Marvel falling on its face (so far). The wisecracks aren't very wise (har har, the soldier-lady is not diplomatic and has no hair har har), The almost-sympathetic older lady who is shown being something besides an asshole (even if behaving that way other...

This description of Lovecraft Country makes me think of, like, 'Supernatural' but trying to be serious and deep. Which...Well, I was never a big fan of Supernatural being silly and stupid, so that same concept trying to be serious sounds like an absolute slog. I (re)watched Book of Eli after...

Watched City Hunter: Bay City Wars It's animated, Japanese Die Hard, but the attackers motive isn't money. But a lot of the big Die Hard things are present in half the time. it's got exploding rooftop leading to the hero rope-diving off the side, hero shooting a few holes in the glass before...

Seemed like it was made an overly big-deal in the US in some circles. At the same time, unsurprised to see it be the five-second, meaningless moment that can be cut-out for release in China and the Middle East without impacting the plot or sales. Blah blah blah, insert usual criticism of...

Thanks to friends recommendation of it, their promise I would love it in particular, and Tuesday being discount-day, went to see Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Friends were right: I did love it in particular just on purely subjective 'had fun, liked the writing' levels. But somewhat stepping away...

Also watched Bullet Train recently. Would also recommend it to folks with the same highlight of 'if you like kind of cult-y, action movies'. My...interesting thing I found about it I suppose...is how it does a combo of mostly foul humor and slapstick for much of the time that's contrasted to a...

Got together with some friends to...MSTK3000-watch Black Panther Wakanda Forever. It...mostly deserved the treatment. There's the bones of a good movie in it. They do some milquetoast but touching tribute stuff for Boseman, there's setup for three or four interesting plotlines all on the broad...

Chaperoned a batch of kiddies out to see 'Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank'. If anyone has ever wanted to watch Blazing Saddles with one of their young uns who is a bit too young for it yet...This is going to get you there, with the whole plot, jokes, and even theme music lifted (though the...

I watched (was subjected to?) the Chip & Dale movie with some friends that they put on as a combination hate-watch from some and 'want-to-watch' from others...Both sides vaguely enjoyed it? It got 'okays' from the ones who wanted to see it, and rolling eyed 'it was exactly what I expected' from...

A grandmother at my church loves the show, as does her granddaughter, and a relatively wide swathe of others. Part of that is some semi-local attachment because the actual filming and setting is relatively close to us by Western America standards (IE <800 miles away!). But it seems like an...

That's actually a pretty solid movie in my opinion. The 'inspired by true events' tagline is doing the usual job of covering-up a mountain of stuff pulled out of Hollywood's rectum and perhaps the most cliche, eye-rolling love-story to ever be put to film...But it's good at establishing an...

Finished-out the Dirty Pair movies by watching 'Flight 005 Conspiracy'. Where 'Project Eden' has an outright-silly Scooby-Doo vibe with musical interludes and 'Affair of Nolandia' is a bit of an oddly-serious thing, 'Flight 005 Conspiracy' is a more straight-up buddy-cop mystery. The pair get...

Watched Jungle Cruise with some friends because they were captivated by the potential of the storyline think Dwayne Johnson is sexy (in their defense...They ain't wrong). It's...Kind of a waste of time? It hits every cliche character you'd expect, the story hits every cliche beat you'd expect...

Watched Dirty Pair: Project Eden, subtitled, because I'd never actually seen any of the 'movies' in the franchise and supposedly this is kind've the stereotypical one to start at. Enjoyed it a lot, even though the story's kind of an afterthought or sideshow to any reason to watch and there's 3...

The Russel Crowe Robin Hood is much better than some people give it credit for. It has stumbles and isn't great, with some probably-bad choices for story, historical authenticity, and even casting...But it's got a really solid thematic heart because unlike every other Robin Hood it actually...

And not just any Crusade! But the Third Crusade in Syria. As we know from the draft notice that is delivered to Robin... Yeah. This Robin Hood is a trainwreck. I'd almost say 'glorious trainwreck', but it also sadly suffers from being really forgettable once it's over. The only part that's...

Watched Joker because I'm late to the party but figured it might be worth it because man was there hype over the film. It's not bad, but seems to fall into that kind of cliche brand of misery-porn oscar-bait movies just with the vague batman/joker allusions put on top? Falling Down did the...

🤦‍♀️ ...I am an idiot who needs to learn to read more gooder. My brain just completely skipped-over 'space' in its entirety.

*shudder* I have been mystified by why anyone would watch such since first seeing it. A friend was a big fan and tried really, really hard to get me into it, but...I cringed at the things he laughed at and found very little of interest. It just seemed so...bland and uninteresting. Of course, I'm...
