I thought Gilmore 2 was pretty solid, although the Maxi tournament weirdness was pretty dumb. Not nearly as much cringy stuff as I was expecting, and the golfers all acted half decent.
Agree on the tournament. Very hard to sit through, but so thought the rest was genuinely entertaining and pretty much everyone (cameos included) was better than I expected they would be.

I watched Sinners was blown away, such a fantastic movie. This is going on permanent rotation every October, absolutely loved it. Sad I missed this in theaters
Eddington - another banger from Ari Aster
Magic Farm - this one surprised me. actually very well produced even though it comes off as a bit 'indie'. The characters are engrossing and the situation is really funny. Has Alex Wolff from Hereditary and a few others. Looking a bit older compared to Hereditary.. funny how time flies
easy. it wasn't the script but the fact he's getting paid 275 million to make only 4 films.
I've heard conflicting things. I heard it was a 4 film deal that he wanted to get out of, but also that there was an extension on the deal and that this is the 9th film he's made for them.
I think Sandler was clearly happy with the product, because he must have called in some favors for the shear number of Cameos in the movie.
I think overall in terms of level of comedy I would call it a return to form for Sandler, were I have found him fairly bland for years now. But, (and I acknowledge this is weird to say), the plot was not grounded enough. The really successful Sandler films, Waterboy, HG1, Billy Madison, Big Daddy... were about grown up children occupying an almost believable world (Because I think that's who Snadler really is), this movie was more grown up children occupying a crappy video game, SIMs style world.
It's been a long time since a comedy has ranked that high with critics. Hopefully it does well enough at the box office so that we can finally see a resurgence of quality comedies
So I watched '28 Years Later' and I gotta say...5/10.
I loves me my Zombie Fare but the little kid ruined the whole thing.
There were unique and interesting ideas, fresh takes on Zombies that I thought were cool, but centering the whole story around the kid and his mom? She's crazy and he's an idiot.
In any proper Zombie Apocalypse a surviving society would have killed them both themselves.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

Kids always ruin movies. Perfect way for writers to put the characters in a situation is to have dumb kids do it.
I re-watched 28 days and 28 weeks this weekend (still havent seen 28 years) and the crux of 28 weeks later is kids doing stupid stuff
