Here it is, in short. I would need to cross check some things to make sure it is all correct, but this is the story in brief: Some time in March, 1944, the 45th was moving into Germany in near co

Panic inducing watching it. Like a 2 hour long anxiety attack 

Apocalypse Karen was great and the other cast wasn't too bad, either.

Spoiler

I loled at the last scene. The Friends references were killing me.

Leave the World Behind is quite good.  Great cast: Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Bacon.


I avoid Netflix movies like the plague but gave this one a chance because I love post-apocalyptic themes. It was terrible. Do yourself a favor and don’t watch.

Okay didn’t see this coming.  Looks dorky but apparently Archie comics are huge in India.

About The Archies Movie (2023)

Set in the 1960s, a musical drama based on Archie Comics that finds Indian actors taking on the beloved characters. An experience bursting with youth, rebellion, friendships, first loves, and everything young adult.

100% agree with this. Moved so slow I fell asleep a couple of times. Felt like it wanted to be an M. Night Shyamalan movie but failed.

All hat/no cattle describes the ending of this otherwise worth a watch movie. Cast was A+, story was intense at times, and I did stay for the last scene.  Should have had  "to be continued. . ." when it ended leaving too many outcomes unresolved.

May December thoughts:  Very, very good film. Lead actor and actresses are really good. Story is very interesting. The film can inspire tenseness and awkwardness. Not a mainstream type of film. Expect to feel strange/weird while watching.

Very very weird feeling and watch. Was kind of struggling through it, and wondering where it’s going, but it won me over in act 3. Performances were great and I just love Natalie Portman, which helped my reception of the film.
 

The musical cues that come in are so out of place feeling and funny.

I thought Leave the World Behind was good. In 2+ hours they accomplished pretty much the same that some post-apocalyptic tv series takes 1 full season to accomplish. I could see this as the initial part of a world building franchise.

It's hard to believe that Netflix won't want to expand on this. Franchises are important to them.

I thought it was good, but not great - which is a pretty good barometer for a Netflix original movie lately. 

Little preachy in the social commentary wrt race from the daughter.  But overall, it built a lot of suspense, it left open a lot of questions and it was generally very anxiety inducing with the cinematography and music (and I watched it very high in the dark, so that didn't help at all).

The daughter was quick to assume that they were treated poorly due to their race but it's just a story with characters that have unknown backgrounds. Characters can be racist or incorrectly assumed to be so. Not a big deal either way.

We enjoyed it, but halfway we knew we were headed for that open "what/if, who knows?" ending.

I had not heard of the book.  The cast attracted us to it.  

Later googled that the Obamas' production company was behind it and had some "notes" for the director.  Interesting...

Myha'la Herrold continues her streak of playing incredibly annoying characters.

This was a silly movie, but perfect for a Tuesday night and a 10mg gummy after the kids go to sleep.

Leave the world behind.

Interesting story. Didn’t care for the ending, my wife was super pissed at the ending… she did not like the little girl, lol.

The social commentary was amusing, the youthful black girl consistently playing the race themes, the older Karen playing the “hear me, let me speak to the manager” motif. It was fine.

I will say what irritated me more than anything was no one dressing appropriately for the situations… I kept saying “flip flops?!? Wtf! A sun dress and sandals?!? Dress shoes and slacks?!?”

My wife bitches at me hoarding(I don’t) supplies and first aid gear and shit but then watches this movie and says we need lifestraws!!! (No shit, that’s why I buy a box of them every few years when I have leftover FSA $…)

Oh and the self-driving cars was something I had bitched/wondered about, as well as On* kill switches in a massive cyber attack. That was a pretty freaky part.

Lately Netflix has sucked.  Nothing but "releases" of old ass movies I already own or have seen on other apps already.

I binged Squid games...and now I am empty.  For the most expensive app I have it needs to step it up.

Switch out for paramount plus or hbomax for a couple months then come back. That's what I do once I've seen everything that doesn't suck.

It was a steaming pile of shit.  I only continued watching because the GF promised to blow me when it was over.

1.5 hours in and I’m like meh.  I’m trying to love it.  I love this apocalyptic shit. But this isn’t moving the needle yet.   But it’s probably an Obama signal that bad shit is coming hahaha

I had about 15 minutes free and decided to see what's what with this.  The intro was ridiculous but OK, I was willing to roll with it.  Then the movie actually starts and folks are talking and singing in the English-Indian equivalent of Spanglish.  Every other sentence switched language.  I could not handle it.  I did not make it 15 minutes in.

Leave the World Behind: interesting story idea, felt like the movie was trying too hard with the excessive camera moves/effects, the music, and some of the story. Felt like a lesser version of Don’t Look Up.

There were so many things I disliked about this movie.

Spoiler

George "G.H."  can't communicate that he owns a house.

Julia Roberts is the worst.  

The dancing scene in the vinyl room.

The teeth thing nearly ended it for me.

Ethan Hawk is the dumbest beta on the planet.

Everyone is stupid, even the Baconator.

Why aren't they looting?  Why isn't everyone looting? (wherever they are).

Good suggestion. I was going to maybe cancel Paramount but then realized I'm only paying like $5/mo.  Hbomax is a mainstay for my access to Curb episodes, but they are on a drought for new material also.

We started Obliterated last night.

It's fucking awful.  A few chuckles here and there, but the acting and writing is pretty bad.

The lead is hot and gets naked.

It's fucking dire. I only made it 20 minutes. Is this supposed to be a comedy? If so, it's not funny. And if it's supposed to be action-drama, it sucks at that too.

It may still be going, but last week I got 2 months of Paramount+ for $.99 a month.

Always check Amazon Prime Video before subscribing to a streaming platform. They run really good deals often.

Blue eye Samurai is worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.

Never heard of Fritz the Cat?

Seriously, Blue Eye Samarai is some quality adult entertainment and not just for the sex scenes at the brothel.

Every so often, I “cancel” Paramount Plus bc they just offer you 2/3 months free to stick around

I did think the ending of Leave The World Behind was decent.   Disaster movies don't have to have "happy" endings.   

 

That being said, Elvis has a good list of what is wrong with the movie in general.   I wish Julia Roberts character was less of a hateful bitch.

Lol agreed. The ending hit close to home.  I told my wife "maybe all those dvds I have are going to come in handy someday!"  Lately I have been griping about having way too many and not sure what to do with them...now I know!  Secret bunker.

And that is true, except you would have to change the name of the movie and it would only be availiable on xhamster, pornhub, etc.

It’s like the A Team with nekkid women (men too if that’s your thing) drugs fucking and blowing shit up. We’ve watched two or three eps so far. It’s a bit of overload to binge straight thru. Just overlook the plot holes and obvious stupidity.

For some reason I watched the whole fucking series of Obliterated  The writing and acting was pretty bad, but it did have some good looking chicks and plenty of T and A.  Also a lot of D and A, but I’m pretty sure they used a prosthetic dick for the scene where they tortured the guy by sticking some kind of drill up his dick hole.
