Hellishly boring. Just like Everything Everywhere All it Once. On that one I was at least smart enough to leave for the last half hour to "go to the bathroom" but really I just played on my phone outside the theater. Hated that POS movie.

Scott Pilgrim was the same. Quirky for nerds. Just a totally lame and uncool and unfunny and unentertaining long-ass movie. Sat through the whole thing bored out of my tree.

I 'kind of' watched the mastermind the other night. Had to keep the volume low as people were sleeping, and was a bit distracted. It's a nice film to look at but has been criticized for being too slow. So slow I was able to play a few games of chess at the same time.

So this is pretty much a non-review haha. The music and style was very art house, and I should give it another chance.

Uncut Gems: 9/10
####ing great. As one prominent reviewer put it, "it's the best worst time you'll have". Had to go back and finally see it after watching Marty Supreme. Similar tone and pacing. I was shook.

Send Help: 6/10
I'm a Sam Raimi fan, and this was a highly entertaining movie but I wouldn't call it a good movie. It really flip flopped in tone and I wasn't sure what it was trying to be. Random milking of projectile blood and mucus felt awkward, like it suited the Evil Dead franchise, but I'm not sure it fit here. Regardless, it was fun yet dumb. Bad CGI (like marginally better than sharknado at points). I did like the leads a lot.

Primate: 6/10
More dumb fun. At least it knew what it was trying to be. Had a gore scene that was executed hysterically. Having a pet chimp with nothing to defend yourself should it go rogue/mad is extraordinarily poor planning.
