You of all people shouldn't pay attention to what other people say.

I bet this would have won an oscar if any of the women had been at least a little attractive. The old gods would have wasted them regardless though.

In other news, Starship Troopers for dummies is the best one line review I've seen so far.

I'm watching No Sudden Move on HBO Max right now. Nothing like a good Steven Soderbergh crime drama with an A list cast to wash the taste of a bad film from your mouth.

When I first saw him kick over the recycle bin and Wahlberg didn't pop out I knew it was going to suck.

You don't hire an actor of Wahlberg's talent just to hide him in a trash bin. You hire him to BE the trash bin.

Then after 17 hours of reshoots in which you have to constantly remind him a trash bin wouldn't yell "Say hi to your mother for me!" to every passersby, you admit it was a stupid idea and you just call Rubbermaid.

The hepcat doth dislike Wahlberg too much, methinks.

Can you dislike him too much? I am not convinced.

There are endless things hep and I disagree on. That ain't one.

The quote should invoke the idea that I’m accusing Hepcat of actually liking Wahlberg.

I'd love to see Wahlberg in Taming of the Shrew. He could play a horse. Well, the backend at least.

I watched maybe the first half-hour of this movie the other night, and honestly haven't motivated myself to even hate watch the remainder. This thread didn't change my mind there.

I usually dislike time-travel movies/episodes even when they're well-written.

If you want to watch some quality programming, the final season of Bosch (the LA homicide detective, not the appliance) is now streaming!

Yeah, it really takes off around ep 4.

It obviously won't have Pratchett's direct input anymore, but I have faith that Gaiman will put together a worthy sequel in the same spirit. After watching this as well as the two series of Staged on Hulu I will watch David Tennant and Michael Sheen together in anything.

Neil posted on his journal that the story is based on ideas he and Pratchett came up with together - a proposed sequel that they just never got the time to write.

I'm skeptical that it needs a sequel but since Good Omens is among my favorite books I'll definitely watch.

Jeff V · Post by **Jeff V** » Mon Jul 05, 2021 9:30 pm

Gaiman is hit-or-miss for me (but I absolutely love it when he reads his audiobooks). Good Omens was more hit than miss, but I never followed through on the series, aborting a few episodes in.

I have one question about The Tomorrow War.

What did J. K. Simmons character do for a living? Was he a mercenary? A smuggler? A gun runner? An assassin? A technology-based supervillain? A rogue Liam Neeson?

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 7:16 am

He delivers toys all around the world once a year.

McNutt · Post by **McNutt** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 8:55 am

Didn't he say he worked on airplanes for somebody? He also had a side business removing draftee armbands.

That still doesn't explain how he has the ability to make secret flights to Russia. How did he and the team get dropped off? Did the plane land? If so, where? How did they have the ATVs there? How were they getting back?

You're really thinking waaaaaaaaay too much about this. And if you're going down that route, there are about 12,000 other things before that point that should be keeping you up at night.

Hey Hep…I got a movie on Amazon Prime for you to watch…Cowgirls vs. Pterodactlys.

Go on, it’s only an hour and nine minutes long. I’ll wait.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 1:57 pm

That's more a JeffV movie, it sounds like. Assuming it's rated R of course.

After her husband is taken by a malicious pterodactyl, a schoolteacher enlists the help of a prostitute and a gunslinger to rescue him.

A solid premise.

Nope. Solid PG rating on this one.

Ah, the cowgirl in the title made me suspect otherwise.

How does if it stack up against Velocipastor?

Jaymann · Post by **Jaymann** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 5:22 pm

Hey, it's rated 4.5 stars.

I like how they specify that this particular pterodactyl was malicious, so as to avoid unfairly branding all pterodactyls.

"Giddy" was also toyed with, but ultimately dropped early in the marketing phase.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 7:38 pm

Also when they're saying that the pterodactyl was malicious, are they saying that it like specifically targeted the guy? As opposed to just acting like a wild animal?

Police found threatening posts on the pterodactyl’s social media accounts. The neighbors said the pterodactyl was polite but kept to himself.

No one suspected the pterodactyl until they found the "Leatherwing Manifesto" in a secret room in his basement.

I was on what was either a second or third a date with a girl when she asked why I never opened the sunroof in my car.
I stated it was to prevent being snatched by a pterodactyl.
I think that was our last date.......

And yet nobody is talking about Llamageddon, despite it streaming on Prime Video.
