This is such a painfully funny show that really does need to seen to be believed.

Loving machinery is a kink …. Mechanophilia (or mechaphilia) is a paraphilia involving a sexual attraction to machines such as bicycles, cars, helicopters, and airplanes.

It’s scary how many of the themes in this movie are still relevant today. Many on the impressive list of actors for this film agreed to be paid scale just to be in a Dylan film. That’s kind of how I feel about this. Regardless of its shortcomings, it’s Dylan.

I will never get why you get down-voted for giving out these nice little pieces of relevant information.

I play the long game. My haters, and I have a few, like to jump on my comments right after I make them, but as time passes they often get voted up because those without an axe to grind appreciate the contribution. People can be petty and silly.

High Hopes (2024)

The 1st reality show I’ve been able to sit through an entire episode, but by the last one I was ready for it to be over. I don’t need a season 2.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two (2024)
greyfur 3 points 1 month ago.

Glad I saw your post, added it right fast to my ‘watching’ list, so it will pop up in my list when it airs. First one was pretty good, and thought it might be a good while before the second one came out, much less that there would even be a third, figured just a part two. Guess they are really going for it with this one.

grasshopper rex 3 points 1 month ago.

The casting on the 3rd part gives me hope that this iteration of the DCU is going out with a bang.

That was awesome. Rarely can a horror movie keep my interest anymore, but the tongue-in-cheek humor, great acting and unique premise did so with ease.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two (2024)
grasshopper rex 4 points 1 month ago.

That’s a quick turn around. No word on when Part Three will air yet, but it should come by the end of the year and will star Katee Sackhoff (Poison Ivy), Mark Hamill (The Joker), Dean Winters (Captain Storm), and Corey Stoll (Lex Luthor).

Easy Rider (1969)
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)

I really wanted to like these movies. A mash-up of Magnificent 7/7 Samurai, Star Wars, and Mass Effect that is so derivative and formulaic that it just falls flat. Some will say he is paying homage to these works of art, but it felt like theft to me. As I’ve said before, he does his best work adapting others stories.

Although visually stunning, as all his work is, the storytelling is uninspiring. We got Rebel Moon - Part One: Recruitment and Rebel Moon - Part Two: Origins and I still felt no connection to any of the characters except for the most overlooked of the all, Hopkins portrayal of the fallen “Quest Knight” robot Jimmy/James. Snyder said from the start that his intent was to create a cinematic franchise, much like Star Wars, with several ongoing movies and spin-off series, but at this point I only want to see more of James.

After all that criticism, I feel I should backtrack and admit that I didn’t hate, thus the 4/5 rating I gave it. The movies are beautiful, fairly well acted, and keep up a pretty good pacing. I just wanted a better story. Hopefully, the inevitable director’s cut will give me that.

Not only will this show get another season, but Apple is looking into their options for other spin-offs based on the Legendary Monsterverse.

Davidson called it quits on this just as they were ramping up for a start of production for a 2nd season this summer. I feel bad for him, but how many bridges can you burn before people give up on you?

The Last Thing He Told Me (2023)
Piglet 1 points 1 month ago.

‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Renewed For Second Season. But no release date which could be a long time from now.

grasshopper rex 2 points 1 month ago.

You are correct. The author will be releasing a sequel novel in 2025 and the 2nd season will be based on that. Garner, Coster-Waldau, and Angourie Rice are slated to return. Obviously, it will be a bit of a wait.

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

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 1 month 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)

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.

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 1 month 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.

grasshopper rex 1 points 1 month ago*.

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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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

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.

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 1 month 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.

they better get a season 2

grasshopper rex 5 points 1 month 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.
