Yeah. You I think it exceeds the source material in many ways.

Might give it a go now I finished Watchmen HBO series- excellent!

The Boys is excellent! I also finished Watchmen and I concur.

I think the tv show captured the tone of the source material better than the movie. I like the movie and enjoyed the visuals, but it didn't have the soul of Alan Moore's work, if that makes sense. The movie took itself too seriously. To the surprise of no one, Moore hates both adaptions.

Make fun of me all you want. Just saw both Pulp Fiction and Die Hard for the first time. Both are excellent movies. Iron Man III is still my favorite Christmas movie.

But the story is wild and the story goes from hopeful and altruistic to extremely dark and brutal. The voice cast is also amazing.

For a second, I thought you were talking about the Wahlberg movie.

I actually really enjoy this. I love the stories they are presenting for Sam and Bucky too. They are both becoming very likable.

Wandavision was a bit more brilliant (for lack of a better word) though.

Wandavision had a bit more of hook. Even though I was a bit letdown by the first two episode, there was still enough going on that I felt I needed to pay attention. The beats on Falcon Winter Soldier came off as bit predictable to me. I'll hang on for two more episodes, before I give up on it.

Feelings? I think I'm physically ill hahahaha You want all these years without seeing Marvin's tragic death? And you've spent all these years watch Iron Man III on repeat?

Lol. I saw it was on HBO max, as well as Die Hard so the time came. I actually love how we argue about how Die Hard is a Christmas movie, in 2021, yet at the beginning of the movie, they argue about a song being a Christmas song. Just beautiful stuff.

There are scenes in that show that will take to places you never been before. Its an very dumb plot line but the writing is really good. I recommend!

Blew my mind when it first came out. Ever time I see it pick up something else. Watch Rosanna Arquette face before they jab Uma with needle. Its priceless.

I have only seen Pulp Fiction once or twice. Clips of it multiple times. Rosanna Arquette is an underrated actress. She does crazy really well.

Watched "Wonder Woman 1984". The writing was really bad. How many museums keep a fueled vintage fighter jet next to their private runway? Surprised this got past the pitch session.

Good to see Hollywood becoming more diverse when it comes to who is behind the camera. It starts with the writing. Patty Jenkins couldnt get past the script she helped write. Surprised Zach Snyder had a hand in this.

Oh man WW84 was awful.

I’m not big on animated stuff... but Invincible on Amazon Prime is helping scratch some superhero itch.

Snyder had nothing to do with it. His role was just to help set up the first Flash, Aquaman and Wonder Woman movies. As for "1984" I thought it was middling. If I had to give it a grade it would be a C-. I get what Jenkins was doing. She was trying to draw on some of the fun campiness of the old Wonder Woman tv show and the Donner Superman movies. I just wasn't feeling it.

Invincible goes from basic storyline to off the rails crazy without warning. It's a ride!
