Movies 52 - 1917: Sonic the Bad Boys of Prey

I went and saw Mission Impossible...it was fine. It's friggin exhausting and there is way too much going on (there must be a dozen chases and plot twists) but it is worth seeing once. I get the feeling though that they realized they had enough for like a 4 hour film and decided to split it and add a bunch of filler.

I give it a 7...half hour shorter and it gets an 8 or 8.5.
 
Watched Boys Don't Cry last night. I'd heard about it, didn't really know anything about it until I watched it. Powerful film. The pos that was sentenced to death in 1996 is still on death row.
 
So apparently if a few screens showing your movie break down, because that happens sometimes and movie theaters have been struggling for a few years and have had to delay maintenance, or if your movie is on very few screens because its release is shoe-horned between blockbusters like Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, Barbie, and Oppenheimer, it's all a massive globalist conspiracy against you!

I actually agree with this. I wanted more, but the longer it went the less I got.

Are you by any chance talking about "Sound of Freedom"? I've seen a lot of ink on that one.

Yeah it is interesting (and friggin prescient on many levels) but since it is a "Part 1" they just started way too many stories and a bunch of them weren''t needed. The big one being Haley Atwell whose character was just a stupid waste of time and an obvious tipping of a plot point later. (not to mention I found her performance pretty flat and lame) The main story I think is great and Esai Morales is always a fave of mine I just wonder if they needed like every side character to be double or triple crossing everyone. Its convoluted and most of the time was revealed and ended so fast they could have honestly just skipped it. The big one being Carey Elwes which was stupid because he is stopping Kitritch from getting it. Their motives are both the same and different and it just gets so messy.

I have faith that Part 2 will be awesome and make Part 1 better overall I just found this one to be lacking whereas the previous 3 had been so much better balanced and fun.

BTW, Tom Cruise is now older than Jon Voight was in the first film if I read right :^o

Oh and Tom Cruise tried to lobby the AMPTP on the AI issue and how dangerous it is...talk about meta!

BTW the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have been releasing what they asked for and how it was countered. The studios are seriously demented. Here is a good account to follow: https://twitter.com/carolinerenard_

4 screenings today at the theatre 0.5 mile up the road from me. Multiple other screenings available throughout the metro area at the chain's other locations.

But sure, they're being "silenced". *yawn*
 
It wasn't until this weekend when I saw articles referencing this chart that I found out just how wild the variety of projection options there are:

What an absurd and wonderful way to shoot a movie. I can't even imagine the time it took to frame those correctly and/or make the edits to convert it.
