I just read that Jim Parsons turned down 50 million to do two more seasons of TBBT, currently the most popular on TV.

Just to put in perspective for all you youngsters out there who didn't grow up during the Seinfeld era: that show was such a dominant icon that NBC offered Jerry Seinfeld .......

100.....

MILLION......

DOLLARS...... (hehehe)

to do a tenth season. That's beyond unbelievable money for a TV show in the 1990's.

theres a rumor going around that Solo cost 450 million to make (due to multiple directors and reshoots) and only took in 213 million.

Not a horror, but you could try Black Death, also by chris smith, author of Triangle. Not as good but still good.

The Neon Demon - 8.5/10. Visually stunning and the music was perfect. I was captivated throughout the entire movie.

Went to Horrorhound horror convention this weekend. I have many things to say about such things as I've never been to one, but I saw a premier of Japanese movie Karma - 4/10 - It was a plot holed worse version of Final Destination. It has been so overdone, and done better so this movie was quite a let down as a whole. The other ones I wanted to watch I got sidetracked.

I watched 5h of film,

Interstellar

Neil Degrasse-Tyson's favorite film, apparently, despite the science babble (a lot of it either speculative or just plain wrong).

I liked the matt damon docking scene. Everything else is rather mediocre, and considering Interstellar isnt a science film, isnt a scifi film (i dont see any of the emptions commonly associated with scifi), has very little of the adventure genre, in the end it's a film about a dad crying for his daughter.

6.5/10 because the visuals are pretty cool.

and then i watched

The Way Back

a massive 3h epic where a group of prisoners escape from a soviet gulag, and walk all the way to .. very far. No spoilers.

Also starring Colin Farrel in what initially looks to be the most miscast role ever, but which turns in possibly his best ever.

Absolutely engrossing film with a frightening runtime.
7.5/10

Yea liked it as well, Didn't think I would like the fist one but loved it and this one might even a tad better?

I liked the first one more. On repeat viewings I might feel differently, but since I had no expectation for the first one it had more of an impact I think. Now that I knew what I was in for, the 2nd one was good but just couldn't match the same impact of going in blind and being surprised.

Which of the two?


Right now im watching American Ultra

It's my second time. I remember i didnt like it but could not exactly put my finger on *why*, and i think i got it now: Max Landis sucks.
He's actually a nice guy but he should neither act not write films, both of which happen here.

In this train wreck, Landis plays Howell, a stoner kid who is actually a CIA superweapon. Except he cant play the part.

This film has a really, really crap protagonist played by a really crap actor, and no amount of weed jokes or supporting cast can save it. I just dont want to watch 1 1/2 hours of this miserable, unbelievable, unfunny, miscast idiot convinced he's the next action/comedy genius.

5.5/10
