My partner and half his family have this gambling bug. You can see it in their eyes. You can see it when they win (not that often.) You see it in the veiled "next time we will win" excuses when they lose (most of the time.) I am glad I don't have ....this vice.

Not only was this a really bad movie (the Dwarfs!?!) but they also cast an outspoken pro-genocide actor as the evil queen (fitting.) Way to go Disney!

I agree with your point about it inspiring ...better film making and originality, that is sorely needed. However, to see a film doesn't mean getting back into the theater, especially since theaters started dying/declining even before COVID, dating back in the early 2000's. Great films aren't going to save movie houses. Streaming took away all the downsides of seeing a film; cost, audience annoyances, bad food and travel time to see one. They will still be around, like drive-in theaters were for film buffs and nostalgia.

OMG, that is funny. Yeah, when they do this sort of camera one take style with drama series, it works.

It was a really well done movie, interweaving a main story with interesting characters, interweaving time periods, an homage to blues and some blue's heroes, and at the heart lies a classic horror genre made fresh. This one took me by surprise. I plan on watching it a second time, just to recapture its essence again.

Now with that said, did it really rescue the film industry? I say no. One great one amongst a flow of mediocre movies you would wait and see at home, does not save the day or the movie theaters.

It is a good series, well written and the camera style, which is a lot like 'The Bear', really puts you in the drama. Very well acted, the kid should win all kinds of awards. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, which was a detective style show/series, oh no. It was snapshot of a something tragic in a family...and you are right there with them.

No, lots of us. Who wants to be the first to confront them and tell them the truth? One of our family members just had one, sent out photos. I swear, it looked like a 97 year old man. It got lots of likes. 🤷‍♂️ I made the comment to my partner that it must of been over-baked.
