I finally got through the Irishman. It only took 3 viewings to finish it all. My final thought is that it's a pretty good film that DESPERATELY needs an editor. Oh my god...so much fluff and filler. That's a 2 hour movie at most and they stretched it into a 3.5 hour epic.
Scorsese is suffering from his own ego to not cut that film with a hacksaw.

Finally got around to watching Terminator: Dark Fate, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was fearing. I guess I stopped caring about the franchise enough to be mindlessly entertained by it.

There was a lot of fluff, which speaks to his ego, no disagreeing. However, on a platform like Netflix I think it works. I'm surprised more movies don't go this route where you can spend more time telling the story without the traditional constraint in movie theatres of them wanting to revolve people fast enough to make a bigger profit. Netflix is flat fee obviously and they don't need to have X amount of showings per day to be profitable.

It makes me wonder if that was just released as a movie, instead of a mini-series, was to get the Oscar noms. I suppose theoretically every mini-series could just be released as a 3-4 hour long movie and now you’re double dipping Oscars, Emmy’s, etc.
