Just finished Tiger King. No important commentary on our society or the safety of wild animals. Just a mesmerizing, unfolding trainwreck featuring narcissistic, disassociated clowns wearing their crazy flags for the world to see. Entertainment.

Saw Once upon a time in Hollywood. Such a letdown. Wow. Story nonexistent, no suspense , no action no nothing. The dog and the little girl did the best acting jobs. It's my own damn fault for having such high expectations. Not going to tell you all who haven't seen it what happens tho. Maybe Tarantino set the bar too high with his previous movies. Maybe

Watched the last Star Wars movie. Was good, wasnt any long dramatic lulls in the action. Like in the second trilogy. Thought it would be funny when they showed a brief montage of the dark sides' greatest villains, if they included Jar Jar Binks.

Maybe I was bored and wanted to stop watching around about the first third of the film, but it became a lot better and I liked it in the end |

I still haven’t seen the last Star Wars nor have I seen Rogue one. Is it worth it? I did see Mandalorian and I loved it.

Have not seen Mandalorian but the star wars stuff really quite boring. Its formulaic and visually not interesting as it once was unique. They are popular and have its fans. Saw the one with jah jah binks recently and it was just bloody awful. |

Maybe Ha, I understand both view points- up until the bit where Leonardo dicaprio had his meltdown in the trailer I was starting to think the film was a big disappointment, but that scene and beyond really picked the film up- loved the bit where Brad Pitt went to cults hangout, and the ending too. Good film! |

The movie was a fable, not a historical depiction. I loved it also. Never knew where it went.
The finish was magnificent. I can see how not everyone would like it. |

Well everyone's pencil box has different pencils in it. I am not saying it was total crap, but it did not hit on many notes for me.Pissed off Leo trailer scene? Meh. Brad pit visiting the Mansons hangout was anticlimactic after Fight Club. The scene with the blender of iced margaritas telling the " damn hippies" to get off his property was Leo at his best character, very convincing tho. Actress watching her own movie looking around at the audience reaction? I dunno. I started having real doubts after Bruce Lee parody. What the heck was Tarantino thinking? Baaaad. That's a slap in a face to anyone who likes martial arts even remotely. Especially after Kill Bill. The ending? That was supposed to be Rosemary's Baby meets Pulp Fiction. Instead we get vanilla alternate reality Tarantino losing his edge. That little knife in Brad Pits thigh is a symbol of how miserable the ending was. Flamethrower could not revive the anemic confrontation. Now if it somehow malfunctioned and it spilled the fuel on the operator who was supposed to be blind drunk then we would have ourselves something at least.

I thought it got better after the first few seasons- I like the bleak tone of it and that it's not afraid to kill off popular characters |

Westworld season 3 is even more insane the past seasons. One word...Yakuza! That's not even the craziest thing!
