What are you watching, if not the Oscars?


Last hour of Mortal Kombat 2021, amazing.

The Oscar Special which has migrated mid-show to https://oncinematimeline.com/

Mortal Kombat was pointless, gross and super fun. "F*ck another four-armed monster showing up" is one of the best movie quotes in recent memory.

You haven't seen the new version 2021 Hbo max, totally worth the 14.99.

reply

No, I saw that one the other night. That quote is straight from the movie. Definitely prefer it to the 1995 iteration.

reply

Ok maybe its just nostalgia. I actually think the characters are strong, just needs a strong story.

reply

I thought the first 20 or so minutes of this one were kind of weak while everything afterwards was solid or better.

Some questionable choices, though, like that scene where the MMA fighter main character lays down a plan for his allies while Raiden, the GOD OF THUNDER AND PROTECTOR OF EARTHREALM, stands silently off to the side with nothing to contribute.

Even so, it's a definite improvement over the '90s predecessor.

You're right but honestly I hate every movie I see lately..So for me to even slightly like something is serious...On a serious note I just finished Joker, for the second time...Ahh that was a hard day. genius...I hate it.

finishing sleepaway camp 2, next up sc 3.

reply

wow...thats some low quality stuff..love it.

reply

i reserve my sunday evenings for the worst of the worst.

reply

I haven’t seen Sleepaway Camp 2 yet. What do you think of it?

reply

it's pretty good! it's not as wonderfully insane as the original recipe, and it doesn't try to be. it's a perfectly good 80s slasher. mostly moves along well enough, has some gore, has some cute girls, has a touch of nudity. it's fine.

reply

both 2+3, as well as the original, are on tubi if you feel like checking them out.

reply

I might give 2 and 3 a try sometime soon. I’m a major fan of the original. 👍

reply

I'm going to watch Mortal Kombat later this week. It looks way better than the 1995 version.

reply

Do it..its not everything we want as gamers, but its good.

reply

I plan to, but there's other stuff I want to watch beforehand.

reply

Watch it to see for yourself, but 1995 >>> 2021.

Then again, I like the '95 film a lot. It sounds like you don't.

reply

From what I remember, it was average. This one looks less cartoony.

reply

Haven't decided yet, but fuck the Oscars. As the Oscars have grown more and more political, my interest has increasingly declined. This year saw my interest reach total bankruptcy. I legit didn't even know they were happening until I saw it scheduled on my cable guide.

reply

Currently I'm watching ' Shadow and Bone ' and have seen four of the eight episodes. So far I would say it's better than ' His Dark Materials ' but not as good as ' Carnival Row '.

reply

I started watching them. During commercial came upon Avengers: Endgame. Never went back.

reply

I LOVE action movies!!! Lolz! I came across #TheMisfits movie, and I'm looking forward to watching that movie. It stars Pierce Brosnan, Jamie Chung, and Mike Angelo. There is a ton of action going on in the trailers I saw. I can't wait to watch it. #TheMisFitsMovie #MikeAngelo @TheAvenue.Film
