How can this have 4 stars and 4 votes when it hasn’t even come out yet? Anyone?

grasshopper rex 5 points 12 days ago.

It is in theaters now.

The Illustrated Man (1969)

For any Ray Bradbury fans, this is a must watch. It’s a classic and it’s captivating.

grasshopper rex 2 points 12 days ago.

The 1st Bradbury book I read. I hate to be that guy, but this is one that is a must-read.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
grasshopper rex 3 points 13 days ago.

7 episodes of season 3 completed, 3 to go. While there is, obviously, no word yet on an exact date in 2025 we will get season 3, it’s been announced that a season 4 will be happening.

Shin Ultraman (2022)
grasshopper rex 2 points 14 days ago.

Cheesy as hell, but it has that retro Toho feel that transports me back to my preteens. Could it have been better? Yeah, but if you turn off your brain and pretend you’re 12 again, it’s fun enough.

Missed opportunity if the intro isn’t ‘Under the Bridge’ by Red Hot Chilli Peppers! Series out this week.

Nirvana at the end was much more appropriate.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

A fun watch. I try to avoid going into an addition to a well known franchise with expectations or looking to compare it with other movies in the series, but just to enjoy it for what it is instead of lamenting what it isn’t.

An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th (2024)
yellow_rose1 1 points 14 days ago.

I can not believe it’s been almost 30 years since this happened. I’ll never forget watching it unfold on the news and the firefighter carrying the little baby in his arms. It was all so surreal that this could happen in a America. Now as I sit here today I’m surprised it has happened more often. I guess as we age and our innocence is stripped away as well as our desensitization that is to be expected. RIP to all those that lost there lives on that terrible day.

You wouldn’t have been surprised if our public schools weren’t teaching us a watered down, censored accounting of our history. As we’ve seen recently with shows about specific events that most are unaware of, like the Tulsa massacre, we aren’t being taught about certain topics. While it’s at least somewhat understandable from a perspective of those in power not wanting to give people ideas, being unaware of dark aspects of our history makes it more likely that those mistakes will be repeated. Valuable teaching moments are being missed.

I find it odd that there is still no specific US law for domestic terror.

Эпидемия (2019)
Civil War (2024)
breakmebad 2 points 16 days ago*.

This movie has caused a Civil War in my brain…. and I don’t really know which side I’m on. On the one hand, it’s a beautiful, searing and poignant drama that asks very hard questions about what modern America is and who we are as a people. On the other hand… it doesn’t attempt to answer those questions, outright pulls it’s punches, and leaves me wanting a lot more meat on the bone.
The cinematography, direction, acting, sound design, set pieces and action sequences are all absolutely phenomenal. 10 out of 10. But the story… it leaves me wanting so much more. I LOVE a great character study, but I feel the broader story/world-building and even the characters themselves needed much more fleshing out. This would have made for an absolutely fantastic mini-series in the same vein as ‘Chernobyl’, but as a movie, I’m not sure it hits like it should. Even so, I was 100% on-board throughout the entire movie, but the last two minutes didn’t sit right with me for reasons I can’t fully explain. Also, Nick Offerman and Jesse Plemons are CRIMINALLY underused. Overall, it’s a 3.5/5, but I’m rating it 4/5.

grasshopper rex 2 points 16 days ago.

Garland intentionally avoided the politics of the conflict. He wanted to show how war brings out the worst in most people and how there are no real winners in these conflicts, especially civil wars. Instead of glorifying it and giving us sides to choose from, we were given a cautionary tale of how our humanity is reduced. No one in their right mind should want this or think there is no other option left to us.

It’s shameful how many of their stories are about how crappy our health care system is.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024)
hellsingfan01 1 points 16 days ago.

The film has made nearly seven hundred thousand American dollars so it’s going to be breaking even within the next week or two.

grasshopper rex 1 points 16 days ago.

Nothing like what they were hoping for, I’m sure. I imagine they are scaling back a bit on those ambitious plans of theirs for a whole Poohverse.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024)
xuehuabingyu 1 points 16 days ago.

The first one was bad enough and a lot of people gave low rates. Even so, why would they want to make sequel? This is what I don’t understand. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

grasshopper rex 1 points 16 days ago.

The budget on the 1st one was $50k and wound up making over $5 million at the box office plus VOD and streaming. I’m sure the thinking was that with a bigger budget, they could make a better movie and cash in even more, and it was a better movie, marginally. IMDb rating on the 1st is 2.9 and 5.4 on the 2nd. What they didn’t take into account is that while the 1st movie was a novelty that piqued the interest of many, it wasn’t nearly good enough to make people want more and to the best of my knowledge, 2 hasn’t broken even yet.

Good Times Black Again (2024) S1 E1
grasshopper rex 1 points 17 days ago.

Wow, that was bad. Almost nothing in common with the original except for the name. Its namesake was humanizing and inspirational, this is just filled with lazy stereotypes, seemingly with no other purpose but to offend. Given all the huge talent involved on this project, it is very disappointing.

It’s often amusing when they have a hard time staying in character, but way too much on this one. It felt unprofessional.

This looks silly af. I’m looking forward to blazing up and watching it.

Baby Reindeer (2024)
grasshopper rex 4 points 18 days ago.

One of the most overlooked new shows out there. Richard Gadd wrote, directed and stars in this adaptation of his one-man play by the same name that is based on true events experienced by him. Dark, funny and brutally awkward.

Looks to be an instant cult classic.

But, aren’t all links from a DVD? Pardon my ignorance. We can get Marvel once it’s on DVD. I get it. Mojo is as HUGE as Godzilla Minus One. Cuz I am still waiting the Z-Man -1 to stream HD. No wait. Rewind! Mojo is larger than Godzilla. Cuz he IS out on DVD. Anyway.. thanks for stopping by.

grasshopper rex 1 points 19 days ago.

Short answer, no. Most are downloaded from streaming sites. That’s how we get shows like Fallout so quickly. It wouldn’t be cost-effective to go out and buy the DVDs when you can just subscribe to a few streaming services and cable channels and have access to so much more at much less cost.

Fallout (2024) S1 E8
chuck1978 6 points 20 days ago.

they better get a season 2

grasshopper rex 5 points 20 days ago*.

Odds are pretty good that it will. The response from viewers, gamers and those that know nothing of the game, have been very favorable, as has been the response from critics, gamer media as well as mainstream critics. Plus, the California Film commission has awarded the show $25 million in tax credits to move filming of a 2nd season to Cali. Given that the 1st season had a budget of $153 million, that would be a huge influence on the decision to go forward with a 2nd season.

dang. Put in a request (the correct way) for links on this a month or better ago. Still Zilch. Great flick to watch and even better to just let roll in the background while you’re entertaining guests

grasshopper rex 1 points 20 days ago.

It’s still not streaming anywhere yet. Only available to buy or rent online and on dvd.

Civil War (2024)
kronickurves 3 points 22 days ago.

Ahhhh, now that makes sense to a Kiwi like me- California and Texas unifying over their mutual dislike of the Federal Government.
Robot barristas and guac making robots. One CEO said recently said on the Daily Show, after firing 90% of his workforce and replacing it with AI “It’s only a problem if you feel like a human”…??!!!

grasshopper rex 4 points 21 days ago.

That’s not really an accurate picture. Each has its own issues with the federal government for very different reasons, and it’s dependent upon which political party is in charge at that particular moment in time. The notion that the two states could see eye-to-eye enough to form an alliance is pretty far-fetched. Google Don’t California My Texas. lol

Lol yeah I watch a lot of shows already watched this was OK. Guess it’s hard to get recommendations when you don’t know what I’ve watched. The answer wayyy too much. Thanks anyways.

The focus was much different than what I expected. War correspondents are a special breed.

Not horrible, but be prepared to not know much more about what is going on after 20 eps than you did in the beginning.

I suppose but if a parent can not recognize the grooming process, then well I just don’t know what to say after that. It’s a sad state of affairs that’s for sure

grasshopper rex 1 points 23 days ago*.

What kind of parent would want that life for their child anyway? It’s no secret that actors are abused in many ways in that industry, not just children. Then you look at how many children don’t handle the fame and lifestyle well. Hell, many adults don’t make it through healthy and whole.

Thank you so much for this comment! I would have missed this great nature show without it. A favorite treat was seeing the Ruby throated hummers and facts I did not know about them. They are the only hummers that migrate to the area I live to breed from April through August.

You’re welcome. Keep your eyes open, it’s that time of year again. :)

I liked these costumes a lot but I felt like sometimes maybe there was too much sand. Maybe I’m phrasing that wrong because I’m not a good writer but it felt like there was maybe just too much sand.
