  • In fact, one of the problems with the new Indiana Jones movies is that they have too much budget. They can't capture the tone of the old ones for that reason. Covid and injury disruptions played on the budget. You’re talking off the top of…

  • Just a kick to the gut: I was very taken by the show Outer Range on Amazon, starring Josh Brolin and produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B. A great mystery-suspense sci-fi series that has two seasons and performed strongly, has just been cancelled by Amazo…

  • Never said you were perfect, @CraigMooreOHMSS . The dismissive reply was wholly unnecessary, when it’s clear you had much more interesting comments to make. I’m still wondering why you felt the need to belittle, but, I. The end, I’ll leave it the…

  • Then, whatever you say, @CraigMooreOHMSS , old boy, 😂…. I’m just not as smart as you to pick up the meanings in your replies I guess. Oh well, 🤷‍♂️, stupid me!! Just commenting on what has been one of my top shows of the last few years. Smart and…

  • I think episode five was its best of this season. Episode 1-4 felt like CHATGPT co-wrote every episode with an alt.right twitter account. Lazy, atrocious writing. Episode five was back to genuine storytelling again, and the type of episode …

  • 💯 @Jordo007 ... Incredibly cinematic imagery, hence why most love the PTS and the film. For most, it started on the right foot, and rolled from there.

  • I didn't vote last time since I didn't have a clear choice in my head. This time I do, and it's CR and Bond and Vesper in the shower. It's a great scene and very different for Bond. (Nice nominees though! You put a lot of thought into these, @…
