Glad to hear the thoughts on M4. Maybe I’ll see it, maybe not.
After watching The Ring with my kids (we all were underwhelmed, seriously), my daughter said there needed to be more carnage and death. 😳 She’s twelve in March.
I’m seriously impressed. She has such an excellent grasp of Hollywood versus reality. No nightmares. No jump scare antics or effects. Ice water runs through her veins.
So, we then watched another two Christmas movies, A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place 2. I still think both are excellent movies. She says they were, “Interesting.” I think I’ve found my thriller-horror muse. If I can write something that scares the bejesus out of her, I’ve possibly succeeded as a storyteller and writer, but failed miserably as a father. No guts! No glory! Therapy can deal with the rest. 😜
I really want to watch Dune but I don’t want to commit to three hours of something I may dislike. I’ll wait until the time and mood is right. Same with, The Hobbit. I know it’s not as good as LOTR, and I fear it may tarnish that masterpiece. But my son really, REALLY wants to watch it (and the other Hobbity movies) with me. We started. To be continued…
Another movie I’ve avoided on principle is Guardians of the Galaxy. Just more stupid Marvel/DC/whatever crap. But sooo many people and reviews speak highly of this movie. If I go into it with extremely low expectations, as I would, then maybe it might be okay. I’m being drawn to it like gravy to mashed potatoes and stuffing.
Lastly, my son and I really enjoyed, Venom. It was funny and Tom Hardy was wonderful in it. I sense the sequel is going to be watched before school returns after the now, COVID-19 variant extended Xmas break. Yup. Kids are getting an additional week so the schools can better prepare for everyone’s safety.
