It's a great movie. Bong Joon-ho continues to impress me with his versatility in directing across many genres.

I have seen that many times, love it!
Enola Holmes (2020)- I suspect I am in the minority, but I did not care for this. I’ve decided I don’t like characters who are constantly talking to the camera because it reduces my immersion in the story. I hated that in She-Hulk too.

Yeah I'm gonna que up Galaxy Quest next and that's all your fault
Q-6
What movie have you seen and more importantly was it any good?
Watched Shutter Island, a psychological thriller. It just did not click for me. Without giving the story away, it took a turn I did not expect, which is not necessarily bad, but the execution was below my expectations.
On the other hand we just finished up the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the umpteenth time. You don't see epics like this very often.
If you ever wondered how they made 6' tall actors hobbit size, besides using short doubles for long shots, this is another method- forced perspective.
Just watched Ted 3 Days ago. Pretty funny. It was better than I thought it would be.
Back when Top Gun Maverick came out, my oldest son recommended it highly, he streamed (he now up to 7 times). It was in theaters and tickets were exorbitant, so I ordered the 4K DVD from Amazon because it wasn't much more than streaming several times or tickets. It wasn't released yet, so Amazon said they would send email when released. I waited all summer and the studio finally said it would be released Nov.1. Finally got it mid Nov., movie was worth the wait, lots of real time flying real planes. One big advantage to getting the DVD package was the Bonus disk. It went into great detail on how they filmed sequences and how the modified the F-18s with special cameras, all done by Tom Cruise. Without his insistence on every detail, the movie would be boring. No CGI, all filmed real time. Because the cast had to fly in the planes, Navy required the cast to go through a shorten version of the fighter jets flight training, including all the safety procedures, just like real pilots. BTW Tom Cruise is a certified jet pilot. Think I am going to watch it again tonight.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022 Netflix)- I liked it, but it kind of lost it’s mystery half way though when the narrative started explaining and showing all the things the audience was unaware for the first half. Good to see Ed Norton back along with Dave Bautista, featuring elderly Daniel Craig.
I understand that ET hated RH so much that it made filming difficult and shows in some of the scenes.
But then she married RB, and then unmarried him, then re-married him, rinse and repeat...

Is it necessary, or better to watch the first movie before this one, or do they stand alone?
Wondering if it's a 2hr or 4hr investment if I wanted to see what all the hype is about.
These are unrelated stand alone stories with the same core character so no need to watch them in order. I consider the movies watchable, but not great or my favorites. I prefer the second one to the first, because of the engaging way it is put together. The first one feels more like a typical Agatha Christy type mystery

Spiderman (2002)- This (watched tonight) and the second 2002, even the third 2007 are the best Spiderman movies ever made imo. Thanks Sam Rami and the unbeatable cast. Nothing that follows comes close to the core story. Willem Dafoe is impressive as Green Goblin.

Bullet Train (2022)- You might enjoy this if you can get past the farsical nature of the story, an empty train with mayhem onboard and apparently none of the train staff notice, but it has a pretty good and thoroughly unbelievable.train wreck
The title reminds me of The Taking of Pelham 123.
…except if I remember correctly that was a serious story.
BT has competent acting and humor, but the story in it’s exaggerated way is pure farce which can be enjoyable under certain circumstances, but for myself, it took me out and lessened the experience. Once your suspension of disbelief is broken (a personal standard) it’s hard to come back from that.…except if I remember correctly that was a serious story.
It was serious but just having Walter Matthau always makes things a little lighter.
Just finished this yesterday. I wonder how much it cost to license the original Beatles recording of Glass Onion for the soundtrack.Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022 Netflix)- I liked it, but it kind of lost it’s mystery half way though when the narrative started explaining and showing all the things the audience was unaware for the first half.

Eh, I think if you think of the film as being a "live action cartoon," which it pretty much is apart from the plot, like the cinematography, the dialogue, and the set design, the circumstances are not that crazy. At least the movie is consistent in how ridiculous it it, unlike the city destruction sequence in Ryan Gosling's The Gray Man.…except if I remember correctly that was a serious story.
Live action cartoon sums it up nicely. So there could be an expectations issue I was describing.
I won't make any claims about its greatness, but it is one of the more memorable movies of my youth, and if I happen across it while surfing, will cause me to put the remote aside.
Gesundheit!
Had to watch a Christmas movie whilst eating Christmas dinner...! ;^p
