Ah yes! The infamous Pearl Jam cover band! People never notice!

We could do it! And then maybe with ticket sales we could afford to fill in that damned crater!

Watched the first two, will probably do the third tonight.

Pretty solid. I don't love them, but I enjoyed it

Watched Freddy Got Fingered for the first time, don't know if it's the smartest comedy or the dumbest comedy I've ever seen but it's a movie I probably won't forget anytime soon.

I hated that movie, its just not my style of comedy, but as a film its quite interesting because Green very clearly made that movie as an 'F-you' to the people who gave him money to make that movie.

So in my opinion its a crap film, but its still an intriguing bit of cinema.

Its pretty rare that you make a movie just to stick it to the people who gave you money to make a movie.

So for me it was: "Ah. He's taking the piss out of Hollywood. Cool. This movie still sucks."

I was always a Tom Green fan and thought this was standard fare for him. I honestly wouldn’t know what else to expect from a movie of his. Was more disappointed that he kind of had to tone it down.

The thing I liked about Freddy Got Fingered was that it was a movie that would never get made today nor would AI ever be able to duplicate it. For worse of for better it was a movie made by a human and it was certainly memorable

Saw IF on the weekend. Not at all what I expected given the marketing. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't a fun and whacky family comedy either. Much more sad and somber than expected.

I don't think it quite worked. There are some good moments and some of the effects were great, but ultimately I think it needed a more skilled director to pull it off.

I watched the Fall Guy this weekend and found it to be entertaining if I turned my brain off. Ryan Gosling was good as he usually is, but he had no chemistry with Emily Blunt, so it made the main romance not at all believable.

They could've cast Emma Stone if they wanted instant on-screen chemistry, IMO.

I was actually enthusiastic about 'The Fall Guy' but the whole thing turned out to be..."This is a Film that was made."

It just all fell flat.

And I dont think anyone was 'bad' in it, but it just...I dunno, it wasn't interesting.

I went to Furiosa last night and enjoyed it!

The action scenes were actually really good.

Like all movies nowadays, it didnt need to be 2.5 hours. The denouement was too long

I really enjoyed my watch this weekend, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. It was exactly what it was. Fun stupid action comedy where Nick Cage takes a few shots at himself to soften up the audience.

Yeah. I actually enjoyed that movie. Its nice that an actor like Cage has that kind of a sense of humour.

I loved this movie, so I'm totally in agreement.

Also had me looking up if Cage wrote that movie to put his daughter in it, because it almost seemed like that type of movie. But the daughter is actually Michael Sheen and Kate Beckinsales real life daughter.

Which took me down the rabbit hole of how well even your classically nerdy looking guy like Michael Sheen can do if you just get a little rich and famous. He's built a fairly solid roster of former significant others.

I really like Michael Sheen! Whatever you want to say about him, the man is charismatic! I can see people falling for him.
