The Gray Man.
Crap. Why are Netflix unable to make decent movies, despite how much money they throw at them?
Rate The Last Movie you Watched
mono-stereo it’s also interesting that the Russo’s seem incapable of making a good movie that’s not in the MCU. They made the biggest movie’s of 2018 and 2019, and struggle when not working for Marvel Studios.

I watched this last night. Do they make these films for people with very short attention spans. Surely the actors must have read the script and thought fuck me this is dreadful but hey the moneys decent.

With a stock that’s declined nearly 70% year to date I’d say you might not have to be suffering these shitty efforts much longer.
Isn’t there talk about bringing adverts to generate more penny’s. YouTube is becoming almost unwatchable on a mobile phone due to the adverts
Don’t know, wouldn’t be surprised. Not going to improve their content though is it?
You would have thought with the stiff competition from Apple etc it force them to make better programs. Still not as bad as Amazon which is woefull
Wouldn’t know I only trialled Netflix for a month and it was just wall to wall dirge. The thought of ever having to see Jeremy Clarksons stupid fucking face is enough to make me never watch Amazon.
Yeah, the grey man was distinctly poor - Chris Evans was amusing to a point but it was just a string of lame action pieces strung together with a flimsy plot covered by giving actors big pay cheques (much like Extraction)
Maybe Kevin Feige really is the secret sauce behind Marvel films and they just did what they were told to do on their Marvel flicks.
You could feel Netflix’s requests all over it. - make it lowest common denominator dumb as fuck so people with zero attention spans can watch it, have them go to as many locations as possibe so every territory can point at the screen and seal clap ‘that’s (the capital city of) where I live!. I’m sooo seen by netflix!’ and make sure you have a character that paints India in a good light because that market is rescuing us at the moment with subscriber numbers.
Meh!

Watched the first 10 mins of The Grey Man, before fucking it off. Torturously bad. A film for thickets.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Starts off brilliantly, and they could’ve done a much better job - basically Nicholas Cage playing himself. Turn into a right load of old shit with a few funny bits. 3/10
Homegrove Interesting you say that, as about half way through I suspected it might be directed by someone who’s been involved in Marvel films due to the near constant explosions and wafer-thin dialogue.
Never seen a decent marvel film yet. Absolute bilge.
I’ll never understand how people will watch a movie from start to finish and then decide at the end “that was shit.” Just walk away.
If you found an eyeball in the bottom of your pint you wouldn’t sink the whole lot and decide it tasted a bit off.
mono-stereo their Marvel-movies are great though, best in that genre. Not even entertained the idea of watching their other work. They came up in the business directing Arrested Developement and Community, and were great at both. But then the one season of Community they were showrunners for when Dan Harmon was fired sucks, so maybe Wally is right and they don’t have any good ideas of their own.
You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Revolutionary Road
Sam Mendes does his own take on a Sam Mendes film, featuring the permanently middle aged Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio playing a typical Leonardo DiCaprio character.
I hate all of these people and it has all the hallmarks of a crap film, but it kept my attention for 2 hours late on a Monday night.
Watchable long flight fodder. ⅗
mono-stereo The anti-Titanic movie. Quite a depressing watch. Thought it was good, but I would never do it again.
