My son read Ubik for school and it's made me want to dive into the PKD movies and so I got that from the library. Going to start old school though and work forward. Maybe give one or two of the adaptations a miss though.

Zombieland 2. Humor is different. Too corny. Meh. Pretty typical comedy sequel. Good time waster if you're bored.

I’ve been rewatching the Bond movies from the beginning.

The 70’s were a weird time for the franchise.

"not as good as 2 or 3" that makes it seem like you maybe hate the original?

Honestly I don’t remember it too well
Yet you remember 2 and 3 well enough to rate it against 4?

Impressive.

Definitely the worst of the three, but still damn fun. And the art direction and camera work is top notch. I wonder whats going to happen with this franchise now they arrived to the end of the story.
Really? The first Annabelle was unredeemable.
I love both of them. The second was better yeah...and this one is really good. Its a very cool franchise.
I think the third one was my favorite. I liked the first one too. I didn't like 2.

I really dug the cast/characters and that there were multiple bads. I also liked that the ghosts couldn't kill you. They had to possess you to really hurt someone or convince you to do something horrible to yourself like in the first movie. They broke that rule in the 2nd one.
