I watch the murder channel on occasion (ID Discovery) and it is quite literally mindless repetition of a formula. Content-wise, it's like a mystery and horror movie wrapped up in one.

At least it isn't a medical drama about a guy who freaks out before he performs every surgery.

Admittedly, I like mariachi music. Not at full volume singing an inch away from me, but in general.

So no escaping the stench of the guy who craps himself or being able to get away from the loud guy who is clearly trying to start something with anyone. Also no getting away from a mariachi band, backflippers, idiots who think a subway is a party space, and anyone else who doesn't realize you just sit there quietly and wait until your stop so you can escape the horror of being with other people.

Yeah, that doesn't ever work for me. I feel as sorry for them as I do some teen murderer in Florida who just felt like it.

Hit a 90 year old man? Complete trash individuals that serve zero purpose on this Earth.

I love A Mighty Wind because as a music fan, I get all the references. They're actually quite brilliant. Eugene Levy's performance in that film as Mitch is phenomenal.

There are millions of things vying for the attention span of every consumer. That includes content made my imbeciles on Tik Tok. It's not like the days when there were three networks and an indie station or two.

Reply to Do You Think The D&D Movie Will Tank? by cpassmore79
I'm sure the fanbase for a Dragonlance project might be somewhat big enough. It depends on how much crossover appeal it will have as well. Will a person who just likes fantasy or action in-general give it a try? Will they think they need to know the story ahead of time to be able to understand what's happening?

Using my bus time to login to work and start some things moving is out. Oh well, I'll just work from home every day. I hope the money they save will go towards keeping fares down on the express bus...hello?

I simply don't like the way I feel when there's a jump-scare. The Armenian term for it (that my grandmother would use) translates as "my heart shattered" and that's the way I feel. In all honesty, the older I get I have anxiety thinking I'm going to have a heart attack because of a stupid movie.

Connecting with art is so subjective that I just give up on any universal rule for it. This is why it all feels like some popularity contest of cool kids leading the way while everyone latches on to what they say to seem cool too. As for me, I like Johnson's work. Knives Out and Green Onion were great...for me. Looper was great...for me. The Last Jedi was the best of those three...for me. Honestly, I don't care what other people think. It's nice to get other perspectives but ultimately my perspective is the one that counts...for me.

Hopefully people will educate themselves even tiny little bit in between swiping things on their phone to realize that getting vaccines and boosters help you to not get very sick and die. They don't cure anything and make it possible to go prancing around coughing and wheezing on everyone because someone wants their 2019 life back.
