Movies 52 - 1917: Sonic the Bad Boys of Prey

Binged a few movies on Christmas Eve:

Top Gun Maverick (Paramount+): 7/10. The not so suble nods to the original film really sold me in the first half. Like, the shot, for shot, for shot 4k upgrade to the opening flught deck sequence was perfect! The lack of effort on the CGI turning it into an MCU film for the second half took something away. Overall it was fun though, and one I'll probably watch again and again.

Muppet Christmas Carol (Disney+): 10/10. The BEST muppet/human film, with the second being Mupper Treasure Island. Seeing Michael Cane play his role with the seriousness of a heart attack while surrounded by Muppets makes this such a classic. Also, the cut song "When love is gone" has been restored and returns to where it belongs in the movie.

Charlie Brown Christmas (Apple TV+): 10/10. A holiday tradition. And it was free for non-subscribers for Christmas after not airing on PBS like it has the last two years. (Stupid exclusivity where the Schultz family sold the rights to Apple.)

Merry Kiss Cam (Hulu): 5/10. Trashy yet fun rom-com filmed on site in Duluth, Minneota with full support of the University of Minnesota Duluth. What really takes me out of this almost paint by number rom-com was the college hockey scenes. It was fantastic seeing the actual tUMD logo/name used, but who are the Wish.com NCHC schools they play against?
Fighting Stags - UND?
Whalers - Alaska Anchorage?
Red/Yellow - Ferris State?
Black/Gold - Michigan Tech?
Who the **** are the Oiler colored team representing?
How jam packed is the schedule in December? And all those home games? The main characters go to about three games themselves, and then they show a montage of another almost dozen games.
Amazing how Amzoil arena magically transforms from a massive arena in aerial shots into a local community rink for interior.
Just how are the Bulldogs portrayed as longtime lovable losers with no hope of ever making the playoffs with SO MANY National Championship banners hanging in the background of the bar.
How many "last second" goals get scored and the clock runs down to zero? What a garbage Hollywood trope.
The setup for the final act was telegraphed pretty obviously, but it moves the story along. Only rated that high because of the love letter to Duluth the film is. It highlights the region and its locals well.

Glass Onion was good, although I hated the ending.

Cameo spoilers:

Williams was the only one I saw. I still have no idea where Grant, Sondheim, Lansbury, or Kareem appeared in the movie, and I've never heard of Natasha Lyonne. Maybe I saw a clipped cut.

The first was the guy who answered the door at Blanc's house, the latter were all on his online game he was playing.
 
Everyone involved in Glass Onion also had to be pissing themselves in joy over all of the Elon stuff in the past couple months. I mean, I know Miles was a composite of various tech people, but it was definitely primarily Elon. And he's done dumb things over the past few years, but the past couple months with Twitter have laid bare what a lucky idiot he is, and all of that took place after they filmed all of this, so they could not have timed it all better.
 
What does that even mean? The Snyder Cut has gained self-awareness like Skynet and will appear at Comic Con and smite its enemies?

This is the Movie Geek equivalent of Q-Tards.

They talk a big game online and make a big fuss. It's a small, but VERY vocal minority.

But then they can't actually drum up support for the things that they actually talk about. For all the fuss, the upcoming DC movies will have Box Office results that will leave a lot to be desired unless the movies are an 8+/10.

The amount of laughs we get at these clowns expense is pretty friggin amazing. They think because 12 people on Twitter and a bunch of Asian Redditors agree with them that they have any sway. I honestly thought they might kill themselves when Gunn announced Cavill was out as Superman 2 weeks ago...

The Snyder Clowns are worse than those people who thought Avatar was real and that they wish they could die so they could go to that planet and live. Sad people are just sad and these are incel sad. Hell even Snyder had to disavow a lot of them and they are the only people who think he should make movies anymore.

To tell you how sad they are...a lot of them are the people who review bombed the new Witcher spinoff series because Cavill is no longer going to be on the main series. They threaten reviewers, they harass studio people and fans and even the artists themselves. Between them and Star Wars fans I can almost not stomach fandom in any way anymore.

They will show up at SDCC, cosplay, have a little metting outside and [post all over Twitter when they get banned for life when they spit in the face of James Gunn or some nerd they dislike.

I honestly have zero idea what any of that means. For instance I recall Cavill playing Superman, but no idea in what context he'll no longer be involved or if I should hate the choice or not. Also Handy you seem to be talking about DC only but I thought Gunn was involved with Marvel? Oi.

[edit] I couldn't stomach watching the whole thing but this seems to explain some of it.
