The Eternals - Could have been amazing if they weren’t trying to tell like six origin stories AND THEN a team-up story in the same film

Honorably mentions:

The Marvels - The first act was some of the best post-Endgame stuff in the MCU, the bickering between the three leads really reminded me of how the Avengers fought in the first Avengers film. It really was a shame that they just said “sorry” in a cornfield and released all the tension right at the end of the first act.

The Substance - Had the potential to be a timeless classic but it forgoed poignancy for 40 extra minutes of absurdist, overindulgent and redundant body horror

The New Mutants - They should have never hired the director of The Fault In Our Stars for a movie like that

LEGO: The Adventures Of Clutch Powers - Too much setup without payoff

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair - HORRIBLE pacing really hurts this movie even though the story, atmosphere and worldbuilding were incredible

Ohhhh that’s right cuz she uses #Peertube and #P2P chatrooms. Makes sense, although I think Fediverse Chick is, at least, working alone if not a scammer.

What’s up with the Fediverse Chick thing? Seems like a scam with no catch. Pretty weird.

Even AI costs money.

A Different World is known by many as “black Friends” or “Friends before Friends”, so maybe Netflix wanted a whiff of the hype that Warner Bros. got when they upscaled Friends to 4K

Oh. Yeah I looked it up and there’s actually a fan 4K restoration of Song Of The South on Archive.org.

Well for what it’s worth Gone With The Wind is one of my favorite classic movies so maybe I’m in that same boat. Just got the Blu-Ray before the Mexico tariffs hit.

That sounds pretty cool actually

We should have contracts that mandate minimum number of seasons for all of this.

Yeah if I ever ran a streaming service that made original content I’d put in a stipulation that if a cancellation order is made, the producers still get to make a proper end to the series in the form of a final season or a special or movie. How Netflix especially treats their original projects feels like if Barnes & Noble sold books in halves and flipped a coin in a back room to determine whether or not to sell the second half in 18 months.

They’re doing the remaster? I had no idea.
