Well, this is off to a great start! Excellent first episode, and if you like a mix of action, fantasy and adventure, this will be right up your alley. I don’t watch too much anymore, but I like to keep my eyes open in case something new comes out that I might like like this, and this has the good as far as the first episode is concerned. Going into the second in a second, whole first season is out, so you can binge it.

Raring up for an explosive episode. Loved the image of the Mayor feeding birdseed to Sheriff Mike!

🤣 Yeah, that was pretty good!

Station 19 (2018) S7 E3
Alien 1 points 1 month ago.

This is season 7 not 19.

greyfur 1 points 1 month ago.

Oh, crap, my bad, 19 is the station. Still, 7 seasons is still a pretty long run for a show now either way. Still not very many can say that anymore aside from stuff like ‘reality shows’ which have little if anything of any ‘reality’ to them. Have no idea what people see in them, but seems to be a market for them. People watch.

Maybe that’s out of sheer boredom from all of the good shows getting cancelled…

WHY is this goin away? What is happening to tv? Shows just don’t hang on long term these days. This is an a real head grabber too.
Great episode. Strong message. Love is everywhere you look. Never be ashamed of being yourself.

greyfur 1 points 1 month ago.

What do you think is ‘long term’? This made it 19 seasons, very, and I mean VERY few shows make it even close to that these days, and there are a lot of shows that have well deserved a second or third season and got cancelled well before they deserved it. This one lasted a very long time. Same with Blue Bloods, hate seeing it go as well, but made it for a long time, lot of seasons. Beat the odds.

Twins —- The Shobijin (小美人, Shobijin?, lit. Small beauties) are two tiny priestesses or fairies created by Toho that first appeared in the 1961 film, Mothra. They accompany and speak for Mothra. We loved seeing Mothra again, though the tiny Kong was just insipid.

O.K., could well be it. Agreed on tiny Kong, he got on my nerves…

No it was 2 tiny girls.

greyfur 1 points 1 month ago. (Contains Spoilers)

That could be, been a long time since I watched one of those, I remember 3, but could be wrong. Might have been 2, like I said, been a good minute since I watched one of the older ones. Was still pretty cool how they did this. CGI has certainly come a long way, that’s for sure…

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
greyfur 2 points 1 month ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Well, this was a very different but also pretty good version from what we all grew up with. One thing I did notice though is that with Mothra it used to be 3 little tiny girls that communicated with it, rather then one grown teen. Then again, they always tend to modify things. Was still well worth watching.

One amazing classic episode ! :D 8/10

greyfur 1 points 1 month ago.

Yeah, that was a pretty good episode right there, I miss this show. Was in a far different time when people could make jokes about each other and people could take it on the chin and nobody went nuts about it. Miss those days.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
ThinMan 3 points 1 month ago.

The “young girl with the glasses” is none-other-than 18 year old Mckenna Grace. She was brilliant as a young wife (Esther Keyes) in “The Handmaid’s Tale”. She is very talented and morphs to her roles. She’s tiny… only 5’ tall. She will be able to play teens for a very long time to come. She was also featured in the predecessor to this film (Afterlife).

greyfur 4 points 1 month ago.

Ah! Thank you for that, no idea. You’re right though, she’s really good at what she does, and she really brought something to this I believe, and really helped to make it what it was, something enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the information!

So glad I didn’t read the comments here before watching because I enjoyed this movie - it was really good and recommend it for a watch - good for family night

greyfur 2 points 1 month ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Yeah, right? I actually read them, then watched anyway. I really don’t have the time to watch a movie anymore, but had the time for a change, and made a really good late dinner, and wanted to watch something while I ate, and this was there, and said why not? Comments were mixed, so I gave it a chance, and it was actually pretty decent. I really liked the young girl with the glasses, she was really underestimated by everybody, as well as very brave I thought. Kinda made the movie for me. Darn, now I think I need to ‘spoiler’ the comment. But still, your right, was a pretty decent installment for the series.

A win in my book. Lots of story still to tell, so like others here, I hope they continue. Great sets, effects, costumes, and skullduggery - unbeatable combination:-)

Sure looks like there will be a season 3

greyfur 3 points 1 month ago.

Screen Rant has a good article on if or not there will be a season three, nothing is set in stone yet, but they explain what it would like as not look like, and the article is very detailed about the HALO universe. Actually explained quite a bit to me as I watched all of this with out ever playing the game, so I picked up quite a bit of information. I really hope this is done, would be a great 3rd season if they indeed do it. I would love to see this continue.

X-Men '97 (2024)
Themoo 5 points 1 month ago.

Easily the best voice acting in the series entire history.

Gone are the constant moans from a fainting Jean Grey
Gone the cartoonishly bad Cajun accent of Gambit.

Storm’s original actress reprises her role with the same gravitas that stole many a scene, and finally matched by Magneto in this, who’s clearly a cut above the rest.

greyfur 3 points 1 month ago.

Have no clue why you got downvoted for that, but gave you an upvote and agree with you. I saw all the older episodes, and am a bit of a fan. Not going into spoilers, but am surprised so far of how this is going and am very interested in how it’s going to pan out now as a season.

Animation of this seems like it’s exactly the same as the original series, though it does seem to me they changed Magneto a little, though I like it (don’t remember the long hair, though I could be wrong). Good to see Morph also, really missed him.

~Dime~ 5 points 1 month ago.

Okay, so hear me out before ya’ll kill me. This movie wasn’t all that bad. If you look at it as a stand alone, having nothing to do with the MCU, it’s a damn fun watch. Was it worth seeing in the theaters? Depends on you. I would of seen it if it was not for all the bad reviews. It’s what I call a popcorn flick. I sat down, ate some popcorn and had fun watching it. That’s all I can ask for out a movie like this. If it was fun to watch, and it was. Give it a shot guys. It really isn’t that bad.

greyfur 3 points 1 month ago.

Been saying!

Madame Web (2024)
Rasnac 8 points 1 month ago.

I really did not get why people hated this movie so much. I watched it and it is a really enjoyable fun thriller/superhero movie. I think the outrage comes from fans having so high expectations from comic book movies nowadays. But not every superhero flick has to be a masterpiece that redefines the genre. It was a good solid movie, and that is good enough for me.

greyfur 3 points 1 month ago.

I can tell you why. Critics watched this with a lack of understanding of what the movie was about, expecting a Spider man movie, and didn’t get that, talked about how it sucked so bad, and people believed that. Then, the few that actually did watch it, got mad because THEY believed it was a Spider man movie, and added to the confusion, and made it worse.

I think a full 1/3 of the people bitching never even watched the movie, and are just using other people’s complaints to act like they did, as well as the ones the critics had.

This was NEVER a Spider man movie. Was never intended to BE a Spider man movie. This was about Madam Web, her origin story, how a young girl got to BE that, a blind woman that can not just see into the future, but all possible futures, and all possible timelines, and eventually, into the Multiverse. That’s why they call her Madam ‘Web’, she can see into the ‘Web’ of all possibilities.

Unlike a lot of people, I walked into this knowing full well what it was, screw the critics, and liked the movie. Knew full well he wasn’t going to be in it. Grief, you would think people would pay at least a little attention to what a movie is about before the get mad at it. This was not that badly done, and I’m glad you noticed it. Could have it been a bit better? Yeah, but it could have been a lot worse.

And all things considered, for the price I paid to watch it, I really have no complaints.

Man, that was just wrong. I really liked that little guy. He was totally cool, and they should have kept him, he would have been great to have around in a few more episodes, they really could have done a lot with him. He did a great job in this either way.

Love, Death & Robots (2019)
Steppenwolf71 3 points 2 months ago.

Oh, o.k. Makes sense. Thanks for the info. You’ve eased my frustration. I love almost every episode. Especially, the very real moral dilemmas represented. It, honestly, made me a bit sad, to think that not enough people found it as fascinating as I did. I’ve always found a huge lack of awareness (in the world, in general), and genuinely intriguing, and challenging… subject matter, to gnash my mental teeth into. So… anything that bridges that gap, makes me happy. I’ll be waiting, impatiently… for the new season. 😉👌

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago.

Glad I could help, I like this show as well, and it’s really frustrating that it seems like all the good ones get knocked off the box after a season or maybe 2, but man, those ‘reality’ shows just keep coming and coming and …😖

Why did this series ever end?

greyfur 2 points 2 months ago.

It didn’t end, would say it was ended in the thumbnail if it had. There will be a new season by the end of 2024, was delayed by the writers strike, like a lot of things were. will try and send you a pm with a link…

Lights Out (2024)
YgraineDance 1 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Thanks! I just finished it, and found it a very entertaining watch. I liked the characters and their teamwork. Adkins wasn’t the main character, but as you said, Grillo is no slouch and he’s got charm and skills enough to make it fun.

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Yeah, I really liked him in this, but too bad Adkins wasn’t used more. Was kind of like how they did Segal (sp?) in that one movie, can’t remember the name of it, way back, he died right at the start of it, but a lot of people went to watch it on account of him being in it…

On the whole, though, was still well worth the time…

Lights Out (2024)
YgraineDance 2 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Damn, I was hoping for Adkins to be the main man! I’m still gonna watch but I ain’t happy LOL.

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago.

I won’t say anything, don’t want to spoil it for you, but despite that, it was worth the watch. I went into it actually hoping for the same thing though…

DownrightDebonaire 3 points 2 months ago.

Agreed. I had to stop the 2nd episode 15 min in and start over because I was so lost. I’m back on track, but losing interest in the setup they are trying to establish.

greyfur 2 points 2 months ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I’m going to give it just a little longer, as I’m a bit interested in that ‘scientific project’ that they had on the space station, but not too much longer. Something don’t break in the next episode or 2, I’m pretty much done.

THEDEVIANTONE 1 points 2 months ago.

looking at the trailer it looks like a good movie added to plan to watch

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Was actually pretty good, watched it on account of Adkins being in it, but he only had a small part in the last bit. Grillo did most of the heavy lifting, but did a pretty good job.

kerfy 4 points 2 months ago.

I have to admit , it’s sorta losing my interest .. I will have to continue watching, but without distractions.. kittens kinda makes it hard to follow.. lol .. I gotta pause and binge avatar..first .. heh heh

greyfur 3 points 2 months ago.

It’s starting to have that effect on me as well. There’s a couple other shows coming up I have been kind of been waiting for, and if they are worth it, I’ll probably drop this unless it picks up, or starts explaining itself a bit better.
No doubt, like a lot of things, if there was a book, or series of them, the reading of it was a lot better then the watching. I’m a bit more limited now on how much of my time I’m willing to spend now. Getting a cold at the moment, so will probably spend a bit of time going brain dead, but after that, I’ll go back to what I’ve been doing, and won’t have a lot of time to spend watching.

Savax 4 points 2 months ago.

The idea is not to rely on someone else’s judgment when you have your own active. use it and make your own mind instead of following some other’s preconceived notions

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago.

I don’t. They are normally wrong, VERY wrong. I tend to laugh at how wrong they tend to be. Actually liked this movie, and was surprised at how many people didn’t. Could have been a bit better, but wasn’t nearly as bad as people made it out to be.

Critics (paid ones) generally tend to suck for the most part, but on occasion when like I said in another comment, when it comes to a science fiction or super hero movie, if they all band together and say it sucks, I tend to wind up liking it. If they actually wind up liking it, it winds up sucking mud. There are reasons for that. I won’t go into them.

I don’t really set a standard for that on movies generally, just for those, but it’s been pretty reliable so far. For me anyway…

JadeEnigma -5 points 2 months ago.

I do that too! I’m also one of those who reads the 1 star reviews on Amazon before the 5 star ones :-P

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago.

I got to the point now where I started checking the IMDb now sometimes, never really did that before, but doing it now. Lot of times these flicks are really highly over rated, and the people that review them will cut them down to size, if there are enough decent ones. Only seem to get the high ones if it’s the people just involved in the movie itself.

You get a few others, you wind up finding out the movie actually sucked, or was average, but maybe worth a one time watch, but nothing special. Sometimes a trailer can tell you a lot though. Esp. if there are a couple.

Madame Web (2024)
JadeEnigma -2 points 2 months ago.

It wasn’t marked as a spoiler when I posted that comment.

greyfur 0 points 2 months ago.

Ahh, the green puzzle strikes!🤣 The prehistoric hopper of unmowed weed fields already mentioned that, and I said that that would change things. All spoilers should be marked as that. I guess by the time I got there the situation had changed. You guys must have caused that change by the time I made my comment..🤷

I have a bad habit sometimes of reading stuff marked as spoilers before watching something. Probably shouldn’t, but if it’s not too detailed, and it’s a good one, and not too involved, it can give me a good idea if the movie in question is really worth the time to invest to watch it.

I’ve been on here just long here at this point to learn who to listen to and who to blow off on stuff like that. I got to know now who likes (for the most part) the same stuff I like, and who don’t. Alien has never steered me wrong, and Piglet and I mostly agree, though we don’t always watch the same stuff. There are a couple others, but truth, once you look, you can’t unlook it…always one of those ‘buyer beware’ things..😖

Listed it as a spoiler, so even if he gave the whole movie away, it wouldn’t matter, he still listed it as a spoiler, which alerted people that they might not want to see the content. Fair warning was given. That’s why the spoiler alert. ‘contains spoilers’. You don’t have to read it, and no one forces you. Is what it is, and he says what he says. The ‘Ooops’ is on the reader…not on the writer.

Thank you. I had really wanted to like this and watch it, but all of the negative reviews were making me doubt if I should. You’ve made me want to again. Much appreciated.

greyfur 1 points 2 months ago.

Yuppers. These critics are a lot like how Siskel and Ebert used to be, if they both gave a ‘thumbs down’ to a movie, I figured I would like it, and that’s what they ALWAYS did to a sci-fi flick, as they just didn’t like those, period. Same with what happened here, but these guys expected a Spiderman kind of movie, and that’s not what this was, so they came into it expecting something else then what they got, and got mad, as they felt let down, and took it out on the movie, which was pretty decent.

I learned to never trust the critics on something like this, for the most part they are a petty and worthless lot…

Madame Web (2024)
Rosie 5 points 2 months ago.

I really liked it but i don’t understand why everyone is being haters

greyfur 4 points 2 months ago.

Yup, never trust the critics on something like this, they have never got these right, as they for the most part don’t understand them.

Madame Web (2024)
greyfur 1 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Just watched this, and was right, the ‘critics’ were full of crap. Hope this ain’t a spoiler, but they based their whole premise of downing this on the fact that Spiderman was not in this or even mentioned in any way, but the thing was, this wasn’t even ABOUT Spiderman. This was about Madam Web’s Origin story, and when you take this as that, it was actually pretty good. And in a way, it was kinda about the initial origin story (and you will get this from the trailers, so this is not really any kind of spoiler) of how 3 of the spider chicks meet each other as well.

So if you take it in context as that, it really is a pretty decent flick, or so I thought. So once again, the ‘critics’ got it wrong, and had no idea what they were talking about. At least that’s my opinion, for what it’s worth. I liked this for what it was, an origin story, and thought it was decently done. Others will have to make up their own minds, but I liked it. And in truth, I have seen far worse.

I agree the actors were good but the script was horrible i watched it in theaters i hope it can gain enough money maybe to make better sequels but i doubt it.

dampyiel2200 2 points 2 months ago.

I try to stay optimistic but I watch reviews from both sides to get an average and this time both sides agree the actors are good but the script is really bad. So don’t get your hopes up. I plan on watching this too. So let’s hope everyone is wrong.

greyfur 0 points 2 months ago.

Agreed.
