This guy like to play in movies alone!
After a ball, a robot in the next one with who/ What he going to speak ?

This made me laugh out loud especially after reading this excellent article by The Verge: https://www.theverge.com/press-room/22772113/the-verge-on-background-policy-update
Composer did The Last of Us. Another awesome apocalyptic story.It's a good movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it. ? ?
Good music selection throughout movie too.
I watched it, thought it was a pretty good movie, although I found myself wanting answers to a lot of unaddressed issues. Like how he was living in a bunker under a wind farm where only one windmill was operational and when it stopped working the power went out.
Yet he then creates a robot that doesn’t need charging, doesn’t seem to have any kind of significant battery packs, so why wouldn’t he have used that technology to ensure constant power for the bunker? And the robot, not only was he self-powered, but he must have been made with some kind of mysterious super-metal, with motors / servos that could generate huge power to allow it to lift the RV to change the tire.
And the RV had those giant solar panels on it, but clearly the thing needed gas/diesel, as we saw him filling the tank with a gas can, which no way would have been enough to get them from St. Louis to San Fran. So was the RV a hybrid diesel electric?
I get that the point of the show wasn’t to address technical advancements of our dystopian future, but rather how a robot became sentient and human.
Without numbers to compare against, these kinds of claims are meaningless.Apple TV+ movie "Finch" set a new viewer record on the streaming service, according to Deadline.
I can’t believe what a good movie CODA was. Has to be the sleeper movie of 2021 and probably hardly anyone knows about it.It was a really solid watch. Best Apple film since "CODA."
I wouldn’t say I hated it, in fact I loved the visuals and the potential. But it’s so disjointed and messy and slow that I didn’t care to keep going. A few people are saying that it picks up right where I abandoned the show, so maybe I’ll give it another episode to see if it starts going anywhere or working for me. Clearly it’s a show that was made with a lot of care (and a huge budget), but it’s lacking any compelling reason to keep pushing through at the moment. I hope to be very pleasantly surprised!Foundation is great, the last episode was really well acted and gripping. People are hating on it because they've either read the books from the 40s and they've changed things or because it's not a Disney basic action series with no depth.
ok, I finished watching Finch and it's fairly nice but no more than 7/10. Certainly not a must watch and I now realize that it's kind of pointless to compare it to blockbusters like No Time To Die. It would not have been a huge draw even if it was released in theaters. I mistakenly thought it would be because it set a new record on ATV+. Not sure what to make of that fact now. I guess it's mostly Tom Hanks' star power. Apple really needs a smash hit that people will REALLY want to see, enough to subscribe. Ted Lasso is the closest they have so far but it's not enough. They clearly banked on Foundation being the next Game of Thrones but it's already clear it isn't going to be that at all. I was hopeful in the beginning but it hasn't lived up to my expectations. Scattershot plot pushing some ridiculous cringe-worthy ideas (robots having religious visions?! WTF?) of the show runners and completely abandoning Asimov's. Whatever faults there are with B&B and Game of Thrones, the first few seasons when they were following the books were stellar. It only went south when they run out of original material and tried to write their own. Foundation abandoned the original material off the bat and what they came up with instead doesn't measure up.yes, that’s a good point. I thought of that but had nothing more immediate to compare it to. the numbers in a couple of months will be much more meaningful. looking at the numbers for Greyhound (the previous high mark for ATV+ movie according to this article) it has 85k imdb ratings after more than a year out. quite a bit less than Dune and No Time To Die after 1 month. of course this is not unexpected b/c the platform is limited. If Finch exceeds the Greyhound numbers after a few months that will indicate subscriber growth of ATV+.
The film was shot in 2019.I like Tom Hanks but, as a verified Old Guy, I found this film hackneyed and derivative in the extreme. Haven't we seen the human-like robot and the apocalypse theme three times a year for decades? Nothing was added this time. I think this was made during full-on pandemic; therefore, "let's do a film with just one actor." Irony dept.: Hanks caught covid anyway.
It was a really meh watch.It was a really solid watch. Best Apple film since "CODA."
It's kind of like this: You know when you watch a show/movie, and Party A just happens to be at the same place as Party B, in which A and B would NEVER meet. But the movie/show you are watching well guess what? This is the 1 in a million time that this actually happens... and their showing you! That's how like tons of shows are... Super Coincidental Shows, you just have understand that this CRUX is the whole point.I watched it, thought it was a pretty good movie, although I found myself wanting answers to a lot of unaddressed issues.

Boring movies get better ratings than the good ones interesting to see how Apple rates there moviesIt was a really solid watch. Best Apple film since "CODA."
Will only show the popularity of one genre v the otherIf Finch exceeds the Greyhound numbers after a few months that will indicate subscriber growth of ATV+.
