    “Original” as in it has original ideas, or “original” as in it’s not part of an established franchise? If it’s the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I’m not sure everything made total sense, but it’s a kid’s movie so that was to be expected.

    If the former, then, uh… Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.

    Stop cramming activism into everything and we won’t hate the garbage you keep making.

    John Wick was an awesome series of movies.

    Damsel was horrible.

    One of those IPs was a good story about a guy fighting against a lot of powerful stuff, the other was constant virtue signaling straight out of the lifetime network from 15 years ago “men are bad and will hurt you”

      John Wick was an awesome series of movies.

      They’d burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that’s before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.

      Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.
