Tremors

I think for the first time ever. Can’t remember seeing it as a kid.

It was a lot of fun. I’m sure it would have been a favorite if I saw it when it was new.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Captain Fantastic. I really like some of these ideas, like the main concept of a man living and raising a family in a lifestyle true to himself and the ideals he holds so highly, and the inevitable impending conflict with society and social norms. But some of the story and dialogue, including some obvious fish out of water stuff kinda treats its audience like idiots. I would like this so much more if it were nearly as clever and smart as it suggests this family is. Some if it did surprise me, though, and I did have a decent enough time.

That’s a fair review.

good grief...if i didn't know, i'd think it was a tommy wiseau movie twenty minutes in

i haven't looked at any reviews, read any fan reactions, etc...but the person i went with, who i know has questionable movie taste, said he didn't think it was that bad

this was just next level bad to me...and at the end of the day i probably like more m. night films than i dislike
what's flummoxing me is the number of people saying "getting old in a day" is a unique conceit / trope, when The X Files did it in 90-wheneverthefuck, along with whoever else

There was a Sean Connery version that got brutal reviews that I watched a million times when I was a kid. Looking forward to this one.

I think it’s more of a maturity thing. Not a great movie it turns out.
