Unfortunately for too long now: “A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away”
Directed by:
- Uwe Boll
- Michael Bay
If you see this logo:
The company is the king of what used to be called Direct To Video. Now it is all Direct to Streaming.
Don’t forget Adam Sandler
Only if it’s a Happy Gilmore production. If he’s acting in someone else’s movie, he can be a great actor.
Ehhh… “Spaceman” was pretty good actually
Two character immediately infordumping to each other as if that’s how humans normally communicate.
“Are you ready? This is going to be a hard job. As you know, they’ve tightened security but we got a man on the inside. As long as does his job then it’s smooth sailing.”
“I was born ready. Eveeything will be fine as long as the shipment is on time. As you know, we put a tracker on the lead car and I can watch exactly where it is from this device in real-time.”

How dare you besmirch The Princess Bride!
Compare this to the bank robbery opening in Dark Knight haha.
I’ve never seen Heat, but I’ve also never seen any newer movies top that scene since.
Heat is as good as people have been telling you.
There’s also a novel, Heat 2, written by the movie’s director that serves as a prequel and sequel.
And I hear soon there is Heat 2 the movie
I hope they use younger actors. ‘Space Cowboys’ had younger actors lip synching Eastwood and Jones for the early scenes. Either that or do it an an animation, the way they brought back Adam West to do a final Batman movie.
I hate deaging.
Leo and Bale it seems along with other well known faces
Heat is, in my opinion, a really bad movie. I just don’t see what others like about it, outside the action set pieces.
The cat & mouse between the protagonists and the unfolding similarity of their drives and subsequent impact on their personal lives.
Ok, but that’s through stilted, awkward, and dull conversations … I stopped watching at the halfway point because I was bored, and skipped to the action bits TBH (and that’s not something I’ve ever done for another movie)
Oh, please watch Heat if for no other reason than the sound work. Nobody tell him what I mean by that.
Agreed, this reads to me like the whole introduction hit the cutting room floor
Oversaturated marketing campaign and overly bloated cast are the two big red flags for me.
Both are indicative that the budget for the movie was not put towards the actual content of the film but about trying to pull in the largest demographics of people.

Jared Leto
This is a 100% accurate statement
I see your Jared Leto, and raise you an Adam Driver.
You see my FIFA and raise an orange slice? 😅
Directed by JJ Abrams
Wow first one to say Jared Leto.
Unless I’ve missed morbin time suddenly becoming popular?
Bladerunner 2049 is great. In that, he plays a self-absorbed sadistic rich asshole. Phenomenal casting if you ask me.
Meh, of course this is all subjective but I wish Jared Leto’s character wasn’t there in Bladerunner 2049. The first Bladerunner worked so well precisely because there was no real baddie. Everyone had reasons, a story, anguish, frustrations, internal turmoil. Jared Leto was standard issue evil mastermind creep.
When you can’t escape the ads for it.
When the trailer is just a highlights reel of the entire plot. If the movie was worth watching they would let it speak for itself.
If it’s desperate to give me the whole plot in the trailer to try to hook me into watching it.
- Netflix lighting
- Generic, Zimmer-stolen OST
- Franchises
- Standard blocking
- Overexposition
- Whedonisms
- More broadly, anything that’s been big budget Hollywood for the last 30 years or so.
Whedonisms
What the heck is that? I liked buffy and firefly, so use those as an example if you could.
Yeah, do they mean pre- or post- marvel?
Never watched Buffy but anything that’s been flogged to death by Marvel movies, yes.
Movies funded by Germany.
It’s always the same type of movie. Either we get some boomer vs. youth plot, a family (+child) with relationship problems or something about the second world war. It’s the most boring slop for our aging population you can imagine.
If it’s a comedy: the first joke.
But there’s always exceptions to any rule. I recently watched Spaceballs (yes, first time) and it would normally fall under “suck”, but it got increasingly better as it went along.
- Camera cuts
It sucks for me because once they start with the unnecessary cuts it pulls me right out and I’ll probably stop watching.
Starring Mark Wahlberg.
The only exception is The Other Guys.

Though i will say the production value on the latest daily wire show was really high, probably the absolute fuck-tonne of money they spent on it.
What the hell is Angel. I am seeing that company logo all over. Are they a distribution house or are they some sort of religious shit?
Definitely the latter, but also MAGA, the whole shebang. They recently made full proper movie versions of Q-Anon “documentaries”. One of my favorite podcasters grudgingly had to admit that the production is more than just OK.
They popped up on fascist grifters podcasts, but are going more mainstream now.
They are clearly benefiting from the current political currents in the USA.Also, Jim Caviezel 🤮
I think they are kind of like a production house with an additional kickstarter backing thing, or small individual investors of some other kind, i’m not sure.
Here is the wiki
Their programming is pretty faithy, have a look at the lineup and you’ll see from the titles.
I don’t care much for that genre, but i don’t see it as that much different than any other genre, it’s just not for me.
What i will say is that their productions are the faith based equivalent of straight to vhs action movies.
It’s generic dross with meh writing and some reasonable production values.
but that’s just my opinion, perhaps it’s worth a shot if you’re into that kind of genre.

logos? Like regular pluralization?
