TV/Movies Megathread

Noticed John Wick 4 at Amazon Prime Video. Start playing it, see that it runs for nearly 3 hours!!!! What the hell?

I mean, the original clocked at a lean and mean 100 minutes... It's an action flick based on cool stunts and some silly mythology, not War & Peace.

John Wick has to visit different neighbourhoods of Paris. It takes some time.

Just got to that part, you weren't joking. Weird how they rip off The Warriors with the DJ broadcasting Wick's movements to the city's thugs.

It's not a rip off, it's a tribute to the Warriors.

It's because of those darn protesters blockading roads everywhere

Finished watching 'Breaking Bad', no real need to review it or say it was excellent.

I think it helped that I'd recently watched 'Better Call Saul' for the first time and followed it immediately with 'Breaking Bad', also for the first time of viewing.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like they don't pretend otherwise - I'd need to check the original but I swear some of the songs that play during that segment are borrowed from The Warriors too.

But it's the best bit of an otherwise blah movie (all action felt very same-ish to previous entries, and overall the movie is absurdly long for what it is), and they have to borrow another movie's gimmick for it.

I got my tickets to see Barbie this weekend. I wonder if I really want to see it vs the marketing has just been so ever present. Saw when googling the film it now shows graphic and Google turns pink.

It's got Greta Gerwig directing it, writing alongside Noah Baumbach. Manufactured hype or not, it should be a worthy film.

Worthy film for whom?

Even at his weirdest--White Noise--he's a fun watch.

Hmm, I didn't enjoy that (and I liked the book a lot)

I just watched a couple trailers for the Barbie movie and I got to say, I am now more interested in watching Barbie than Oppenheimer. It looks it could be a lot of fun.

Oppenheimer is probably cool and great and thoughtful but Nolan kinda makes the same film over and over and I'm just not as excited to watch a 3 hour depressathon. I'd rather have fun with my wife at the movies.

Tenet is a fucked up movie.
Batman movies were not.
