I saw this last night, reluctantly. I was impressed. Definitely better than I thought it would be based on the trailer. It has some problems, though. I would give it a B+. Only checked my watch once. I saw it in Dolby Cinema at AMC and it’s worth it.

Let me just say, I do enjoy listening to Chris McQuarrie. I have listened to countless podcasts and I find him candid, insightful, and engaging. Maybe it is just a case of him being put into the Tom Cruise machine. But, the writing in Fallout disappointed me greatly. My sister avoided Fallout altogether because of the "I'm jumping out of a window" line in the trailer. She insisted if they put it in the trailer, they think it's funny and that's an indication of the writing we can expect. She was right. Then, I listened to a podcast where even Chris admitted the audience wasn't laughing where he expected them to (the bathroom scene where Tom Cruise goes Jerry Maguire with the "I don't know what I'm getting into?"). He thought that was funny and the audience was silent. His humor is cheesy and I would like to see him away from the "PG-13 action with forced comedy" genre. Tom...I feel like he is too far gone. But, if he is going to stay in the "PG-13 action with forced comedy" genre, he needs to find someone that doesn't write over-the-top, corny dialogue. I have had a nagging bad feeling about TG2 since it was announced. McQuarrie writing on it I don't guess could make it any worse.

I just can't believe some people thought an R-rated musical drama was going to beat a CBM based on a Marvel character. I just got back from ASIB and I will be seeing Venom tonight. ASIB really had me in my feelings and I've seen the Streisand version. An actual tear formed and rolled down one of my cheeks and I had to discreetly wipe it away. I was shocked. Gaga is good. We shall see what kind of legs it has.

I saw this at AMC with A-List. I complained about the number of trailers before the movie and the reply I got back is that 9 trailers are scheduled for a total of 22 minutes and 36 seconds. Is that not crazy? That's why people just stay home and watch Netflix (especially with a movie like this that doesn't truly need the theater experience). The maximum number of trailers should be 5, period. Anyway the movie was ok. Reminded me of a Tyler Perry film with white people. Even the audience reminded me of the audience with Acrimony (very toned down, of course, but there was some talking back to the screen going on). Anyway, it was a fun movie night and I recommended it to my mom. She checked it out and thought it was ok.

Weekend Thread | Preview #s The Nun 5.4M, Peppermint 750k

I am very surprised. There was a considerably smaller audience for The Nun last night compared to The Meg. I didn’t think it had a chance to beat The Meg’s OW.
