My biggest problem with the new 'Wednesday' show is as a 31 year old man I feel like I just can't enjoy it as much as I would have as a teenager.
I was also too young to watch the original Addams Family just slightly so there is no nostalgic feeling for me there.
I really do love Jenna Ortega's work and am a sucker for anyone that stars in A24 films and felt she did a solid job in X.
But I don't know if i'm going to continue this show 2 episodes in.. I definitely do understand why it's breaking records and an absolute hit with other age groups however.
We just finished it and really liked it.

That is actually somewhat realistic looking cello playing. Huh.

My only complaint was that the younger versions of Morticia and Gomez seemed very different than the adult versions when it came to energy, emotions, and their overall expressiveness. From what I remember of the 90s movies the adult versions matched up pretty well as they seemed similarly detached I guess? But the younger versions didn't seem to match too well. Maybe they're supposed to have mellowed out as adults, but they seemed like polar opposite performances so I found it a little jarring during the flashback scenes.
Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro is stunning. A really beautiful movie. I didn't expect the story to go the route it did but probably should have based on his past movies.
I think it's going to be an instant classic for many people.
Lol yeah.. I mean look at this, and I think Ortega is wearing like 4" tall shoes too. Christie could probably just pick her up and put her in her purse.

If you enjoy stop motion as much as I do, you'll like this comparison between the shooting and the final scene.

Plus, she makes Christina Ricci look normal sized which is quite a feat.
