I think we can start with the dumb name for a movie - named after the book or not.
It is a problem when you’re giving money to people that hate you, hate your values and hate everything our country has stood for and are enriching them to do everything against you and to tear down that country.
Is this the first Stanley Kubrick film to have a sequel made?
They did it to Alfred Hitchcock as well with a half dozen unnecessary Psycho sequel and prequel projects.
2010 was the sequel to 2001.
Doctor Sleep was good. Not great.
I saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood this year. For free at a preview screening (and it wasn’t crowded, but maybe that was just the promo team).
I’d have to think sometime to arrive at the last movie I paid to see in a theater that wasn’t at a museum.
Nothing like that at the theaters these days. Although it would be interesting. You might find that on youtube and it would be free and you could watch it from the comfort of your living room.

Shakespeare he is not.
90% of life is failure. Like shooting an arrow, there is no significant difference in effort between making a miss or a bullseye. Making movies is a highly visible and expensive example of this law of the universe. But for everything in life, failure is the rule, success the exception. It takes an unshakable faith to keep going in the face of crushing odds. Most people are not culturally equipped to do it, which is why they are not out there starting businesses, fighting evil, paying the price for freedom, exercising their God given talents, or creating new things.
Christian faith is an example of a useful and significant competitive advantage available to everyone. Just like all scientific models and theories, it is a simplification of the real world, a tool to make sense of the chaos, so it is certain to be wrong on some level and therefore easy to reject. But the price of rejection is giving up in frustration and a life of complete and total failure.
Stephen King "hopes for the best", but does not purify his soul to deserve it. Well, if it doesn't work out, he can always hit the bottle.
Didn’t see it. I slept in instead.
