    Re: Movies 51 - Rise of the Frozen Joker: Chapter II: Dark Fate

    I get it's Jesse's story; his ending, but we never see Skinny Pete and Badger after they played a very key role early on. We never see a hint of the wake of destruction Saul leaves behind, other than the relocator hinting at "the lawyer." Does Junior get the payments Walter set up for him? For being the next day or three following such a bloody shootout, there seems to be a lack of concern throughout the city right after the El Camino lo-jack is activated. But, like I said, it's Jesse's story, so I shouldn't expect anything more than a hand wave explanation at most.

    I will say the winks and nods that were in the movie were nice. The new owners and renamed Los Pollos Hermanos location was neat. The junkyard owner was a nice surprise too.

      I think the payments (leaving this vague) was more than settled. I do agree on Skinny Pete and such, I suppose. However, despite the trailer, they left the game so early (relatively) in the series, it was probably chasing ghosts at that point.

      You live in/near Chiraq...how much outrage is there? My take on it is that is was a movie to simply close out the loose ends that existed, and that succeeded. If they wanted to blow some minds...I suppose it was possible, but it would most likely have blown up in their face. The movie wasn't great, but it was still satisfying. I wasn't hung up on the aging thing. I can suspend belief in the spirit of things.

        I thought El Camino was fine. It tried to answer a couple of questions that were left hanging at the end of BB. The actors' appearance differences didn't bother me at all. The most significant one, imho, was Todd's simply due to weight gain. The age difference for the rest of the cast was mild, I thought.

        Also watched The Laundromat. Personally, I thought it was a mess. It obviously isn't an easy subject matter, but given the star power associated with that movie, it was pretty disappointing.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            Finally finished El Camino...meh it was ok. Really no point to any of it and sorry but it never truly felt Breaking Bad. It was fine when to watch while working out but I would never care to watch again. Too much time passed.

            Speaking of that:

            Zombieland 2. Yikes was that boring and rather unfunny. Completely unnecessary and honestly I almost fell asleep in the theater watching it. Literally the only thing of value was the scene from the credits...but beyond that I wish I hadnt gone.

            To the Star Wars people...sounds like the GOT guys are leaving that universe.

              Dan and Dave aren't doing their Star Wars films.

              “We love Star Wars…When George Lucas built it, he built us too. Getting to talk about Star Wars with him and the current Star Wars team was the thrill of a lifetime, and we will always be indebted to the saga that changed everything…There are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects. So we are regretfully stepping away.”
              The Rian Johnson trilogy is still reported to be moving ahead.

                      Sorry but it just wasnt as creative or enjoyable. Even the easy tropes (like the off brand version of the main cast) got old after like 2 minutes. Every joke ran too long or was a copy of the first film.

                      The different versions of the zombies was pretty good though.

                        Outside of The Mandalorian I just can’t get excited about Star Wars anymore.

                        I definitely won’t be watching RJ’s trilogy unless a miracle happens and he’s Devined a magical storytelling capability i’ve Yet to witness. Sorry, RJ fans, repeated viewings of TLJ and a second watch of Looper enforce for me that he’s just not a director that interests me whatsoever.

                          Time Trap:
                          A professor enters a cave and goes missing. Some of his students come looking for him and get trapped in the cave as well.

                          Forget about the cast. You won't give two craps about them. The concept of the movie, though, is good, and it was done decently. There's nothing groundbreaking, but as the movie goes on, it's fun to figure out when everyone else is going to figure things out.


                          Rattlesnake:
                          When a single mother accepts the help of a mysterious woman after her daughter is bitten by a rattlesnake, she finds herself making an unthinkable deal with the devil to repay the stranger.

                          YAWN. Stopped it after about 15-20 minutes, because it really sucked. I halfway tried to find the ending on the internet, but even that wasn't worth it, so I stopped trying. One could probably predict the gist of it.


                          The Command:
                          The film follows the 2000 K-141 Kursk submarine disaster and the governmental negligence that followed. As the sailors fight for survival, their families desperately battle political obstacles and impossible odds to save them.

                          Based on fact, and of course some truths were bent a bit for dramatic effect. However, still a solid movie, and I thought it was well-done, especially showing the seamen's despair/emotions. I would definitely recommend this one.

                                Read the bolded. It wasn't really an issue then, and in the show, it represented simple southern living, nothing more. Think: Skynyrd. People forget this, but the Dukes show actually taught morality, treating people kindly, and the truly good people always won. They really embraced the Golden Rule.

                                BUT THE SYMBOL!
