Okay, I like all of Donald Trump's choices for his cabinet so far, including Secretary of Treasury. However, it appears that Steve Mnuchin has a big black mark against him. It turns out that he was the executive producer of "Midnight Special" which I wasted my time watching tonight.
Did anybody else watch it on HBO? An all too predictable sci-fi. Kid has unusual powers. Government and cult are after him to keep him from showing up at a certain location. Kid makes it to the location and ET's himself into another dimension. End of story. Oh, and...YAWN.
Should Steve Mnuchin be grilled about producing that movie during his confirmation hearings? Okay, I am willing to see him confirmed but ONLY if he promises NEVER to produce the "Midnight Special" sequel.
Premise is stupid and story is dumb.
The actors totally carry the movie.
Despite the bad dialogue, and ideas in it.
I thought that was a concert show in the 70s?
But I liked Midnight Special.
I liked it better than Rogue One, which put me to sleep except for the last 30 minutes or so.
I learned the state of Florida has gigantic superstructures over it where alien peeping toms are watching us.
I already knew about those.
Waste of time, but most movies are. I wouldn’t hold that against him.
I preferred “Midnight Express.”
Hey, me too! I was shocked considering that’s where I live, but not too shocked, because we all know Floridia is the Southern Twilight Zone.
I thought that last bit of the movie was really quite good.
Hadn’t seen anything like that in a movie before.
Every traveler to foreign countries should keep "Midnight Express" in their minds. I was visiting Costa Rica and my driver asked me if I wanted to buy some ecstasy. This was when the drug was fairly unknown in USA. The moment the words left his mouth, I had visions of "Midnight Express" and I vociferously said no. And I kept repeating that forcefully the next few times he asked me until I made it clear that I didn't want to hear about that any longer.
I recorded it via TiVo, but haven’t watched it.
Watched the football game instead.
I’ve walked past the prison in Istanbul. It’s now a Four Seasons Hotel!
Same thing happened to me in Jamaica, except that a real friendly native shook my hand and slid something into it. I handed it right back.
That’s what I thought too.
It was better when Wolfman Jack hosted it.
LOL....I was kinda hoping that the “5 Neat Guys” would have made an appearance.
Trust the Trump.
“Rogue One, which put me to sleep except for the last 30 minutes or so.”
Same thing happened to my daughter, who just saw it on Friday.
