Recently Watched Films

Yeah, I saw a trailer for Love and Thunder and it looks awesome, lol Though, they seem to be potentially doing something with it, and while it's the kind of thing I'd usually like, I'm not sure I'd want it in this case, but I guess we'll see how it turns out.

Better than The Living Daylights on every level. And underrated as hell overall. 

And with that, I have finally seen all 25 official Bond movies. I'm going to check out Never Say Never Again and maybe the spoof Casino Royale just to see what they're like though. 

I thought this was mostly pretty solid, though nothing overly special or memorable. The main character was amazing, though, and I really don't see how they can pull off a sequel without Chadwick Boseman, tbh.

A very psych horror influenced giallo. The conclusion isn't very satisfactory, but it is pretty grim. 

Yeah, I really don't see it going over well, unless some miracle happens, lol And yeah, for a movie that's only about half a year away (supposedly), it seems we know next to nothing about it, and I don't even think any trailers or anything have been released yet, when it obviously would have had to have been filmed by now, unless they're quietly delaying it. But I mean, considering these movies often have close to full cast lists announced a year or more in advance, it seems weird we don't even know who the MC will be in this one. Obviously, what happened with their star is very unfortunate and sad, but yeah, this definitely feels like it could end up being a huge mess.

Anyway, my next movie is the highly touted Infinity War, which is one of the main movies I was doing this run for, so hopefully it lives up to all the hype. (Ironically, I'm less hyped for Endgame, because from what I've heard, Infinity War actually does some surprising and challenging things, while Endgame sounds like a typical, gift wrapped ending sort of thing, that's surely fun to watch for the sheer spectacle of it, but it seems to not be as impressive overall, from what I've heard.)

(But yeah, I know a character I really like gets killed off, and as far as I know, it may actually be permanent, as their only appearance afterward takes place before Endgame, I believe.)

WOW! It certainly lived up to its hype, even if I had a pretty good idea of what to expect going in. It was every bit the epic thrill ride I expected, but with some actual teeth to it (even if pretty much everything will likely get reversed, somehow, LOL) At least in the moment, it has some really dark and heavy scenes. I've seen fans of a certain JRPG series I love compare two of its games to this and Endgame, and after seeing this, I can see the parallels between the first halves near perfectly. 

I was considering just watching Endgame tomorrow as my next movie, but I realize Captain Marvel apparently appears in that, and I really do wanna watch her movie first, so I think I'll just suck it up and attempt to get through Ant-Man 2 as well, which will push Endgame back to Sunday. Which would work fine, anyway, because that should be a quiet day and I'll wanna have 3 hours straight of free time to watch it in one go, because I have a feeling it'll be hard to put down at any point.

So true. I've never bothered with AvP or anything because that seemed like a good place to leave it.

Well, that kinda kills some of my excitement, lol Hopefully I can make it through the Ant-Man movie, but if he's major in Endgame, that does not bode well. It'll basically be the opposite of Infinity War, where most of my favorites got big roles (especially the Guardians and Thor), and I liked Thanos a lot, which also helped. Obviously, I know a lot of characters I like aren't exactly in a position to be getting much screentime for at least the first half, so I expected that, but if they're replaced by Ant-Man.......
