I watched the fantastic 80s French film Subway by Luc Besson, huge recommendation from me. This movie is just really cool, and has so many fantastic shots and colors the Paris subway pops. The movie revolves around a thief who falls on love with a beautiful wife of the millionaire he just robbed. The thief takes refuge in the Paris subway station meeting a cast of strange characters. I kept it very vague but it's awesome

Also watched Tron: Ares and I liked it a bit more than I'd expected. The music of course is the highlight.

But the themes in this one and the setup for a 4th movie are interesting.. Flynn's grid the programs have personalities, individualism. In Dillinger's grid they're just programs that obey. Two conflicting worldviews of what the digital frontier should be and how humanity should/could interface with it.

It'd be cool if the 4th movie is the battle between these ideals maybe a bit deeper than Dillinger becoming the next big bad.

Probably will never know though.

The only positive was hanging with my boy.

Such bad movies.

It's the one in theaters now, and there's not much point in watching these on TV.

Plus I don't care for doing 5-6 hours of homework before going to see a popcorn action adventure.

I've watched the beginning 5-6 times to show off my "new" 3D tv but never made it past the 1st hour. No interest in watching it at all and I am a huge James Cameron fan.

I've said it before, but buying a projector and setting up a media room(on the cheap) was a great decision. Watching at home is just better in so many ways if you have a decent setup.

I went to the movies yesterday after dropping off donuts and breaking down. Wanted to clear my head.

Decided to head to chinook and went to Hamnet which was just starting. Ten minutes in and I'm out like a light. It was not my jam. Wake up and I have no idea what is going on in it so just walked out. Holy fata was it boring and slow. Cannot give a review because I didn't really watch any of it. I am sure its fine but not for me.

What the hell is Hamnet? Like...a dude chasing pigs around with a butterfly net while misquoting Shakespeare?

Anyone watch this? Supposedly really popular but only 41% fan rating on RT so not sure I want to watch it. I haven't seen a good disaster movie in a while so maybe still worth it.

So I googled the word Hamnet, it's a historical drama film that's currently in theatres.

Have you watched Moonfall? it was entertaining to pass the time as long as you don't have to pay real money for it.

I hate buddy cop films. Don't presume I'm dumb please. My brother who makes movies said it was awesome. I do not share that view now. Period dramas can be good but not this one.

Hamnet is the other name for Hamlet apparently. About shakespeare creating Hamlet. I knew immediately I was fataed when that was explained at the very beginning.

What decade had better sci fi films 80s or 90s?

80s had things like Aliens, The Fly, The Thing, Predator, Robocop, Terminator, ET, Blade Runner, Back to the Future.

90s had Matrix, Jurassic Park, Total Recall, Fifth Element, Men in Black, Independence Day, Starship Troopers, Terminator 2.

It's pretty close but I might have to give a slight edge to the 80s, just more all time classics

Personally, Hamnet was my favourite movie of 2025.
