I can honestly say I have never watched Shakespeare in Love.
Last movie I watched in theater was Dr Sleep, because my daughter and I shared a love of Stephen King novels. Before that, it was the Hobbits, Die Hard, Passion of the Christ and T2. We still have a Drive In and that is not really going to the movie. It is tailgating with a cooler.
I caught that movie by accident, really. When it was on again, hubby and I watched the entire thing. I liked it; and, I am not a Stephen King fan.
I used to go to the movies a lot. But, now I find that I'm not all that interested in what Hollywood is offering. It is never a movie to "entertain"; it is always a movie to preach. Got sick of Hollywood lecturning me on how I'm supposed to live and think.
And, what is with the titles of these things. I have lost any interest in going to some films just because the title is ridiculous. You have no idea what the movie is about.
I heard Dr. Sleep was a prequel to The Shining or something, so I was expecting something of that quality. I was terribly disappointed, and should have realized that without Stanley Kubrick we weren’t going to get anything comparable to The Shining.
The last really popular movie to get the Best Picture Oscar was what? One of the Lord of the Rings flicks (2004)? The Departed (2007)? No Country for Old Men (2008)? Maybe Slumdog Millionaire (2009)? The King’s Speech (2021) and Twelve Years a Slave (2014) were talked about, but did a lot of people see them? Everything else nobody really saw or heard of when they got the award.
But Hollywood isn’t making pictures like Dr. Zhivago or Lawrence of Arabia any more, or if they are, it’s usually a cable TV series, not a stand-alone film.
T3 is not bad if you are a Terminator fan. I thought Terminator “Genisys” was decent. Terminator “Dark Fate” was quite good, IMHO.
