Annihilation was pretty interesting Gerald's Game was good! A Futile and Stupid Gesture was VERY good! Win It All was great! I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore was GREAT! When We First Met was fine for what it was Little Evil, El Camino Christmas, Mute and The Cloverfield Paradox were abysmally terrible Haven't seen any others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 True, even tough I like the two Bond movies he made. But you can't do Bond for the rest of your life. It would be a bit repetitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was driving around Hollywood a couple of years ago I made sure to go by Marlowe's apartment building from the movie, with that fantastic elevator tower. Speaking of films where LA plays itself, I cannot wait for Tarantino's next film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. https://www.slashfilm.com/margot-robbie-as-sharon-tate/#more-500805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon only Marvel movies will be 'movies', the rest of them will merely be TV movies, not worthy of the Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 While I generally like the MCU films, I do agree there are just too many of them. But it is kind of extraordinary when you think about it. Over the course of TWENTY films, they've only put out one that can in any way be considered a true flop (Incredible Hulk). That's one hell of a batting average. Unprecedented in film history perhaps even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It helps the monopoly that a ton of other studios' cornerstone franchises have turned, or are in the process of turning to shit.
