  1. Especially since some of the studios are already sending recent/same-day releases to streaming. Mulan, I can see why Disney is holding off on that one. New Mutants and Antlers, films it inherited from the merger, those are kinda odd. Let's see where we are in a couple of weeks.

  2. 7 hours ago, The Master said:

    Magneto gets a pass because Marvel de-aged him to a  baby at some point. He became adult Magneto pretty quick thereafter, but that's how they can get around him being. Otherwise he's pushing 90.

    Plus, for years, Magnetic Fields could do basically anything in the Marvel Universe. You name it, it does it.

  3. Iron Man 2: I feel like a lot of what made the original interesting and unique is gone now that they've realized that they not only have a success but that they have a franchise. Parts are good but this feels more like the beginning of the Marvel Cookiecutter concept than Iron Man 1.

    Girl in Gold Boots: So much of the SciFi era of MST3k is less of the goofy crime films that made up so much of the early years. So, it's nice that for the last year, they were allowed to do them again!

    Merlin's Shop of Mystic Wonders: Also from the last season of MST3k. One of my favorite experiments just because the film is so screwed up.

    Prince of Darkness: This is that rare film that has been on my radar since High School that I have somehow just never gotten around to seeing. It's such a moody film, weird, and just enough of a mind-screw. Definitely worth the wait.

    The Addams Family: While not as good as the sequel, it works for the most part.

    Films: 33
    Mst3k/Rifftrax Assisted: 2

  4. It's some good reasoning honestly: Most people are anxious about Coronavirus and only thing coming out on the new weekend that would fall into a similar demographic is a new Disney Animated film.

  5. Th Brady Bunch Movie: It's weird how the attempt to make the film feel contemporary ages the film more than the Stuck-In-The-70s Bradys.

    The First Wives Club: It's amazing how many talented actresses they got for this film and I can't help but love for all of them!

    Rent Live: I was pretty fucking drunk and sleep deprived by the end so I think I bawled to Seasons of Love three times.

  6. Bob Iger has stepped down as CEO of Disney. His replacement is Bob Chapek who was the head of Disney Parks.

    Chapek also spearheaded all those cheap, Direct-To-Video sequels back in the 90s and is also behind some of more controversial things as the Parks in the last few years such as pretending that the Guardians ride is anything more than The Hollywood Tower of Terror with a new paint job. So... if you're expecting Disney to put out anything new or novel in the next few years, you might not want to hold your breath waiting.

  7. It's definitely... something. I've never been a fan of Didio (His comment that "Countdown will be 52 done right" always reeked of stupidity) but the guy was passionate. That all said, every report of the work ethic at DC, especially in the last few years, says that this needed to happen.

  8. The Thing About Harry: It's a Freeform Made For TV movie except it's a gay relationship. Otherwise, it's mostly average. It also suffers from the problem that many of these have: It has a set run time so when it has a logical end-point, it just keeps going.

    Bridget Jones's Diary: Renee Zellwegger is what makes the film. If the lead hadn't been as strong, it would have failed big time.

    Films: 27

  9. Birds of Prey: I enjoyed it. It felt disjointed every now and then but I felt it was a decently entertaining film. Also, the only thing I've thought about since watching that movie was having a Fried Egg Sandwich!

    Roller Blade: It's a schlocky 80s Mad Max rip-off that's also about Roller Skate Nuns with Switchblades.

    Return to Oz: It's nightmare fuel but the set design is beautiful and Faruza Balk definitely does an admirable job!

    The Stepford Wives: The remake. Still not the worst film but far from the best.

    Tammy and the T-Rex: As gloriously insane as I remember and, with the gore cut, somehow even more so!

    Repo: The Genetic Opera: Because it came up in causal conversation and it was the end of the night and no one wanted to watch Space Mutiny.

    Films: 23

  10. Bees Make Honey: A very strange retro-throwback tribute to 30s comedy mysteries. It's not a great film but there's definitely some interesting energy there.

    The Lion King: The Photorealistic version. It's pretty pointless since the story barely changes. I swear, these Disney Remakes are just becoming lazier.

    Mass Effect: Paragon Lost: I've been replaying the Mass Effect series and I've never watched the anime film they put out leading up to 3. It's not good.

    Groundhog Day: The fact that Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell didn't get Oscar Nominations, let alone wins, for this film is beyond perplexing but whatever.

    Films: 16

  11. 10 Things I Hate About You: There are many movies that I always seem to watch towards the beginning of every year once I can change up everything again. This is one of them. It's basically the best of all the late 90s-early 00s Teen Romance movies.

    Bumblebee: I was worried that it wouldn't hold up to a second viewing. It definitely does!

    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs: It's not my cup of tea but it's something that I can definitely see has merits.

    The VelociPastor: Motherforking Shirtballs! Is it Citizen Kane? Hell no! Is it a campy film about a Pastor who turns into a badly costumed Raptor who fights ninjas? Yeah, and that just makes even more gloriously insane!
