I regret watching Knives Out and will never watch Glass Onion or Top Gun Maverick. Never.

Top Gun: Maverick is a fantastic movie. You're so close minded, Tree

That surprised me, too
Have you seen that piece of shit?
Yeah, but I wouldn't call it a piece of shit. I'd call it silly and I'd complain that it takes about an hour to get moving, then gets silly again shortly after that. And I'd say that Rian Johnson didn't understand what was compelling about the first movie, so the sequel just ends up being very superficial with no guts or heart or hunanity
ok not a piece of shit but a turd?

I'm just so sick of Cruise and his whole action movie star schtick, and of all the remember ___ reboots

I'm not comparing them. I hate them for different reasons.

You then went on to say that it was "a blast". There's no coming back from this, I'm afraid.

The Academy would be wise to award the Oscar to Top Gun. Enough of these artsy fartsy winners.

I can see the members of the Academy reading CODA as an artsy fartsy art-house film, absolutely.

Western Front is OK, but I didn't feel there was anything novel about it. Not really worth watching unless you got nuthin better to do than to be reminded again how hellish war can be. I'm sure it's better than Glass Onion.

...Western Front looked to be well made from the trailer, but... war is bloody dreadful, innit? I can't imagine it being an enjoyable viewing experience.
