Sex and love are two different things and not entirely related.And, more important, Jason1 is only really after his wife, because he really, really likes fucking this one specific woman. THIS is the reason he is chasing after Jason2, and going through the trouble of opening all those doors.
He generally manages not to suck. Seen Dopesick?I was shocked Keaton pulled off the Vulture, I was certain the character would suck.
Agree.The Watchers - 6/10 The Shamalamadingdongs do some things well. If they could just stick the landing I'd give it an 8. But it fell apart at the end as usual.
i watched
The Fugitive - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106977/reference/
which people back in 1993 were raving about.
It .. hasn't aged well. But, i can see why this would have been considered great back then.
The entire film hinges on a premise that would have been easily accepted in the 90s, that Dr Kimble (Harrison "Han Solo" Ford), well to do surgeon married to likewise successful wife, murders her. And, no expensive lawyer, no psychiatric evaluation, no year-long show trial, but rather one hostile judge later the guy is immediately sent to death row.
Also by pure luck the prisoner transport van gets hit by a train, allowing Kimble to escape, but also Tommy Lee Jones, detective Gerard, who has a massive hard on for capturing Kimble, goes as far as threatening other law enforcement representatives, to chase this Kimble guy who apparently is the single most vile criminal to have ever walked the earth.
And they make the whole crime stick by the motive that "wife had a life insurance policy". Really. Who would have thought that two NYC millionaires would each have a life insurance policy to the name of the other.
Anyway, Dr Kimble goes on the run, has a scene similar to Sigourney Weaver's "nude" scene in Alien, to reveal that harrison ford was fuckin' JACKED when he did this film, and then Kimble meets some colleagues that tell him yeah, so-and-so has falsified your medical data to push through the FDA approval on this new drug, and got you framed so you wouldn't talk.
I mean, not the most ludicrous of plots, i guess. But the resolution is that Dr Kimble shows up at the product launch and starts yellingSoylent Green is people !!"you falsified the data !!" and then he and bad guy fight, and hardass detective Gerard shows up and kills the bad guy .. and then Dr Kimble gets to walk free .. because Gerard has been told "the truth".
uh .. that's not how it works.
Those would be two separate investigations. Gerard would be likely suspended for killing a suspect, and falsifying medical data is not a criminal offense, the FDA doesn't sentence people.
And once Dr Kimble has been tried and declared guilty, HE WOULD GO BACK TO JAIL. There is no immediate legal right to a retrial in the US if new evidence is presented.
The whole point of the film is to have a very long middle section showing Ford's character trying to survive this relentless police chase; and in that, the film is well done.
It's really *a lot* like The Game, the execution of the middle part is flawless, but the premises it uses to get the characters there are tenuous at best.
A script re-write would possibly have improved it, or give it more longevity. Otherwise, decent film.
My vote today, in 2025: 6/10
Wife had a change of heart on this one, decided she doesn't even want to try.Started American Primeval last night and holy shit this show is incredible. We watched the first 3 episodes and I wanted to just watch the last 3 as well but it was already like 12:30am at that point so I'm going to either finish it tonight or tomorrow.
This really made me laugh, I say the same sort of thing about his movies. It really did crumble at the end. But they had to set up the whole Cloverfield 2.0 setup where the doppelgangers or whatever they called them, are actually out oof the woods now.The Watchers - 6/10 The Shamalamadingdongs do some things well. If they could just stick the landing I'd give it an 8. But it fell apart at the end as usual.
I thought you were referencing The Hunted at first until I got deeper into the reply.i watched

Was it due to how brutal/violent it is? My brother said his wife wouldn't watch it with him due to that.Wife had a change of heart on this one, decided she doesn't even want to try.
No I don't think it's that, IIRC is it set during the Civil War era? Just quick checked yea, it's a western and the time period.Was it due to how brutal/violent it is? My brother said his wife wouldn't watch it with him due to that.
funny, there's a fairly large part of The Fugitive that is *also* like Rambo but without Stallone.I thought you were referencing The Hunted at first until I got deeper into the reply.
I was gonna say this one is like Rambo for the 90's without the whole Stallone schtick.
And I thought The Hunted was this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8244784/reference/I thought you were referencing The Hunted at first until I got deeper into the reply.
The end of Peacemaker when he tells Aquaman - "Go fuck another fish asshole." Is how I think most of us feel about that character. Jason will make a much better Lobo.Aquaman and the lost kingdom - 0/10
This is so very seriously stupid. But I did watch the whole thing. Make of that what you will.
The finale of "The Fugitive" is considered one of the most watched TV series finales of all time, with an estimated audience of 78 million viewers when it aired, solidifying its status as a classic television moment with a highly-rated conclusion; the episode is often cited as having one of the highest ratings for a series finale in television history.
It was definitely a gripping movie. And the long, uninterrupted takes. Wow.Watched 1917 last night. Beautiful film. Very powerful. I can see why it won the Oscars it did. Both the horror and the absurdity of war. I really felt for the main character.
I didn't think Gunn could pull of Guardians but he did it. I thought no way are normies ready for a racoon and his best friend a tree. As the kid say- let him cook.fyi Lobo will be a character in a Supergirl movie; i dont really know how you can have two so-different themes and come out with anything that isn'y shit.
just so you know, i feel about Guardians the same way people feel about the Ewoks in ROTJ.I didn't think Gunn could pull of Guardians but he did it. I thought no way are normies ready for a racoon and his best friend a tree. As the kid say- let him cook.
You hush your mouth. For the year of production it is great. Better than some of the new slop.Starship Troopers 8/10
What is not to love? The cheesy dialog, the bad CGI,
