12 was the worst. It had the least sensicle of the various plans (none of which really made any sense)
11 had the worst haircuts, though.
All three movies were 100% style, 0% substance. The dialogue was mostly just one liners.
it had more sensicle than you've ever had in your life
i get why people dislike 12 for sure, but i love how it's basically one big joke...even soderbergh said it's his favorite
these movies don't really need that much substance, but i think 11 was a great mix of just enough substance to go with the style...these movies are just pure fun to me

I'm not gonna stand here and wait

Terrible opinion.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

While they’re all easily enjoyable flicks, I think 11 is vastly superior to the next two.
11, 13, 12, no question.

I watched Us last night. I liked how the last 20 minutes tied back to the opening sequence, even if the idea behind the story was a bit far fetched for me. Other than that I thought it was a fairly run of the mill but well made horror/suspense film.
Also, I have not watched any of the Oceans movies.

Making my way thru the Bond catalogue last night, I watched You Only Live Twice. That may be but I'll only watch it once. Easily the worst so far in this chronological experiment. It was about as far away from the novel as possible (which doesn't necessarily make it bad) and you could almost feel how bored Connery was throughout the picture. Even more than Harrison Ford Return of the Jedi bored.
Next up will be On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Another which I'd never seen. Looking forward to seeing how Lazenby does in the role.
Pretty sure the wife and I will watch the last Bourne flick tonight. I will never reveal my feelings and thoughts about it, however.
Let me tell you, Homer Simpson is cock of nothing!

Broadcast News (87): Holly Hunter is just so damn adorable in everything.
Working Girl (88): Melanie Griffith's fame is utterly inexplicable. Just awful in everything. Why does she always sound like she's had a stroke? How is she so unappealing?
agreed on melanie griffith...her voice is nails on a chalkboard while getting hit in the nuts
She's so wooden and performs like she is reading her lines for the first time.

I watched the Sofia Coppola/Bill Murray/Rashida Jones movie, On the Rocks. It's OK enough, but all the drama is based around an adult who is incapable of having an honest conversation with their partner, which always bugs me. This really shouldn't be a whole movie. Just use your words. Express your needs and fears and desires to your partner and we wouldn't have to go through all this whackadoodlery

As Good As It Gets has the same problem. If Jack just told Helen “I have ocd,” no movie.
i haven't seen on the rocks, and it's been a years since i've seen as good as it gets...but they weren't really partners or even that close until the end, no? plus he was the type who would never just volunteer that about himself
