Dudes sound spoil AF, they quit all their jobs without putting in time because they know they can always fall back to mommy and daddy.

exactly. Dad's residuals alone are multi-generational wealth
I was gonna say! The fcuk is a QUARTER-Life crisis?!?!? Like you gotta be a wealthy bastard to have problems a QUARTER of your life in.

I used to work with this one Jewish cat late 20's and this motherfcuker took a 6month sabatical!!! I STILL don't know what the fcuk a sabatical is, I just know I can't afford to take one!

One of my coworkers told me he was having a midlife crisis at 60yo.


I told him - "You are NOT living until 120. You will be retired soon. The fuck?"

PRAISE: Having being a member of several organized religions over the years i found myself instantly involved in this movie about. Two young missionaries being pulled into the trap of a Mr.Reed.
Some of the discussions about the Bible ive had over time matched with the topics and questions brought up by Mr.Reed portrayed by Hugh Grant who looks like he's having fun in almost every scene he's in. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East are quite good as the sisters in religion. At first equally matching Reeds questions with their own analogies which made me smile, in fact I don't think i could stop smiling during the movies first 30 minutes. Even with the possibility of something sinister going on with Reed his questions and metaphors about faith and beliefs were always interesting to me. The intentions and objectives of Reed seemed obvious but i didn't mind because it's tied to the interesting parts of the movie.
There are several good moments of suspense and good uses of camera work as I was placed in the footsteps of the two missionaries as they approach certain objects in Reeds home.

PROBLEMS: Not much is done with a specific character i felt the placement was just there to be tied to a moment of convenience. The movie definitely runs out of steam in its last 24 minutes as things are explained as if I was watching a Scooby Doo Gang or Nancy Drew explanation of everything

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½

Kind of like how they run most franchises into the ground, a la Home Alone, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and others ...



Home Alone[a] is a series of American Christmas family comedy films originally created by John Hughes. Chris Columbus directed Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), Raja Gosnell directed Home Alone 3 (1997), Rod Daniel directed Home Alone 4 (2002), Peter Hewitt directed Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012) and Dan Mazer directed Home Sweet Home Alone (2021). The films revolve around the adventures of surrounding children who find themselves alone during the holiday season and faced with the challenge of defending their family's house or themselves from invading burglars and criminals.

Reason I still go to the movies...that and Bond


Exactly. Movies made for the big screen.


Surprisingly ... I've got an aunt who is 75yo (dad's sister) that loves blockbusters, so I've seen a number of them with her. Mission Impossible, Bond, Top Gun, etc. Dating back to the Bonds in the 2000s.

I remember seeing Fallout with her late summer of 2018 and going to work the next day and coworkers asking me what I thought. I was like - "Yeah, that was exactly what a blockbuster / popcorn movie is supposed to be. Fully recommend."

Joker 2 is a masterpiece. Anyone who thinks otherwise does not understand ART. I can understand why though. The public is used to eating McDonalds or Chick-Fil-A, this movie was like eating Fogo De Chao or Miller’s Union off Chattahooche Ave in Atlanta for the first time.

Acting, Production Design, Cinematography, Editing, and Directing was on fucking point. Todd Phillips literally took what movies of the 40’s and 50’s were and put them in DC Comic book, but still kept the narrative element heavy so the story was still there. The music elements worked perfectly in giving a true sense of the surrealism of Arthur’s disconnect with regular ppl and reality meanwhile showing his connection with Lee as she is the only one who understands him.

This movie is a prime example why I don’t take Rotten Tomatoes or anything that someone else says about a movie seriously, until I watch it myself. You ask most ppl what’s their favorite Halle Berry movie they will say something recent or where she was a sex symbol, Me I would say Losing Isaiah. You ask most what was John Singletons best work most would say Snowfall or Boyz In the Hood, I would say Rosewood. You ask most what was Al Pacino best performance most would say Godfather, Scarface, Scent of A Woman, or even Devils Advocate, me I’d say Dog Day Afternoon.
