I agree. Deadpool was a lot of fun. Deadpool 2 was disappointing.
One of my favorite scenes!
Well said. Many of these people are responsible for killing their own industry. They drove their audiences away with their big mouths and idiotic insults. They and their industry can burn in hell.

“Died 30 years ago when they ran out of interesting plots. Now everything is a sequel or a remake.”
there’s THOUSANDS of fantastic books that COULD be made into amazing movies, so story is NOT the problem ... the problem is the failure of hollywood to want to make great movies that tell great stories, instead desiring simply to rehash past garbage and occasionally adding new garbage to promote leftist propaganda ...
Completely disagree and the Chinese angle?
The whole thing took 5 minutes.
Nonsense.
Roku has a classic something or other for 5 bucks. Watch it for a few months and turn it off.
Robert Ryan and Robert stack have a post Wwii Gangster movie set in Tokyo. Really interesting.

I have several series TV shows that I just play over and over, by the time one starts over, I have already forgotten ever watching them. Well almost.I always recognize that I have seen them just not necessarily the exact ending. The joy of aging is not having to watch re-runs ever again.

Great one and clean enough, but most of you list include the filthiest talk a sex scenes I have ever had the misfortune of trying to watch.
Streaming and "binge watching" are the future of visual entertainment.
"Breaking Bad" set the bar as to the depth and complexity of storytelling that can be expected while "Game of Thrones" set the bar as to the quality of the production that can be expected and viewed from the comfort of one's home, at their leisure, and on massive (and now very affordable) 4K home theaters.

The very non-family friendly "Breaking Bad" and Game of Thrones" were two of the most popular TV shows of all time. It's just that the 2 hour movie has become obsolete. People expect more and streaming TV series can deliver this.
I never seem to have those good ideas.
Nobody wants to see me do anything.
I have a face for radio and a voice for silent pictures.
