I agree. Deadpool was a lot of fun. Deadpool 2 was disappointing.

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 ...

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.

Most of them are older movies whose stars and directors have since passed on.

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.

I had few ideas but none of it is worth pursuing.

Yet some kid in Korea made 20 million or so last year, filming himself opening new toys, or something.

New Tricks (brilliant, hilarious 12-season BBC detective/murder-mystery series about cold case files investigated by three retired detectives)

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.

The good programs are all being produced as 10 part “shows” independently and are on streaming services.

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.

People who think the movie business is dying because of "wokeness" or whatnot are missing the true story. 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.

A little of the model released pretty girl video sold as stock.
