I’ll admit, as someone who isn’t normally a fan of A24, this looks intriguing. I’ll go see it.
Do you ever have to worry about long lines for concessions, or do you not get snacks at all?
I tried leaving at the start time once, and by the time I arrived, there was a long line to get popcorn and I ended up missing the first 5 minutes of Wicked. But I suppose that was an anomaly.
I could see him as Sinatra, there’s a very close resemblance.
While it’s not as beloved as Episodes I and III, it’s a shame they never re-released Attack of the Clones for the full experience.
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the 4K transfers of Aliens, True Lies, and The Abyss.
But I applaud the efforts nonetheless.
That too.
The point is, there’s a lot of factors that go into whether or not a movie is successful. Just “being a good movie” isn’t enough, especially not in this economy where people don’t go to the movies as much as they used to.
A movie needs both a strong marketing campaign and a great story to be successful.
Yes, you can use an Xbox Series X to play 4K Blu-rays
I’m using a PS5 myself.
Doctor Victor Von DOOM approves.
The first one seems to be beloved as an awesome classic, so there’s a good chance it will apply to this too.
See, now we’re starting to say “when I was your age” and “back in my day…”

Sausage Party (2016)
I was trying to make it easy for them, since blahaj.zone is their home instance. But thanks.
I saw it and posted my thoughts in the discussion thread, but if you want, you can see it for yourself and form your own opinion.
After seeing it, I can honestly say…it’s the best MCU movie since Deadpool & Wolverine.
…because it’s the only MCU movie since Deadpool & Wolverine.
In all seriousness, it wasn’t bad but it certainly wasn’t good. During the film’s opening minutes, I heard one teenager in the row behind me say, “Yo, that is not Captain America!” I think he echoed how most of the general public feels about Sam Wilson.
Basically, nothing happened in the movie. There’s a lot of stereotypical Marvel quips, especially from Joaquin. Lots of obvious CGI scenes. I’m not sure how to say this, but it didn’t feel like an MCU movie at all - just a generic action film that just happened to have Marvel characters.
I was expecting Red Hulk to have more of a presence in the movie based on the marketing, but it turns out Red Hulk was supposed to be the major plot twist/big 11th-hour reveal, so if you’ve seen any marketing for this movie whatsoever - even a poster - you’ve been spoiled.
It’s not worth sticking around for the post-credits scene. It’s literally just “Something vague is coming…”. One of the worst post-credits scenes from Marvel.
My immediate reaction upon leaving the theater was feeling like I’d wasted my time and money, and that perhaps the critics were right. But after reflecting on it for a few hours, there were a lot of parts I enjoyed, particularly the scene where Isaiah goes rogue and gets arrested, and when Sam stops the fighter jets from Japan. It wasn’t that bad, just not something that needs to be seen on the big screen (and as a huge advocate of the theater experience, I can’t believe I’m typing that…about a Marvel movie, no less!). I enjoyed this movie, but it’s definitely not something you need to rush out and see. Hopefully Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four can right the ship.
So, bottom line: if you can only see one movie this weekend, go see Paddington in Peru or Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
I’ll be seeing it in a few minutes and I’ll post my review when I’m done.
