  1. The movies are well made and gets better with each sequel, which is rare.
  2. The FROZEN flashbacks was overused in too many scenes imho. Most successful sequels have little to no flashbacks. Reference sure, but no flashbacks. Jury is still out for The Rock in a live action Moana but is that a good idea at this point? Seems kinda redundant with another animated movie coming out so soon.
  3. My main complaint with FROZEN 2 is that it was too heavy on nostalgia/flash backs from the first movie which to me is lazy and didn't feel fresh. I'm hoping Moana 2 can learn from this. Shame that can't be more original with the title too. I think adding Maori language to the title would have been more fitting, they use Maori for the songs ffs. MOANA: Tangata Whenua (people of the land) for example. On a side note I'm not a fan of The Rock as an on screen actor but do enjoy his voice work in animation, looovvee "You're Welcome" so my expectations will be high for the sequel's music and songs too.
  4. I have yet to see a Disney animated sequel that is better than the first. Ralph Breaks The Internet was equal to the first movie imho. Most sequel titles with just a number only don't ever seem to be an improvement over the original and comes across as lazy. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't think of one. Hence why I'm sure many are skeptical. edit: Toy Story 2, 3, etc all seem to be better than the original.
  5. Uhhh, while I'm not a SONIC fan that was an impressive trailer. Looks very much like a feature film.
  6. Hopefully it's better than FROZEN 2. I really enjoy MOANA for its Maori roots as my deceased step-dad is quarter Maori from Rotorua, New Zealand. NZ is like a second home for me and I've had 3 extended stays there since 1999. During my visit last August 2023 I heard the Moana soundtrack in retail stores and outside schools so its still very popular there.
  7. Looks really good! Missed out seeing the first two films in the theater, hopefully won't for this one!
  8. Currently watching SEVERANCE on Apple+. Good series that is holding our interest well. Much more so than Monarch did.
  9. @Return To Kit Form Totally sucks! My second car was a '97 Mustang GT convertible. Yours looked pretty sweet before the crash. @Seto Kaiba It looks like we'll see some production news on the Dodge EV very early next month. I'm excited for it as well as its the first EV I've seen that doesn't look like a station wagon. https://www.motor1.com/news/707226/new-dodge-charger-daytona-debut-march-5/
  10. Oh, you are right. Thought it was that one episode that Carl directed where they were facing down TIE fighters, again!! Funny how some episodes seem very similar, lol.
  11. Carl Weathers directed that fun episode too.
  12. IKR... Both my parents (mom 82, dad 75) and my FIL (80) all have crappy health and Carl Weathers who looked to be in good shape and still working suddenly dies at 76. Carl could have had some underlying health problem, genetics, etc that we don't know about but still doesn't seem right that he died.
  13. Watched SALTBURN on Prime for the WTFs!! Couple of scenes grossed my wife out, lol.
  14. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C23T4jHu0B9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  15. I just read, very sad news. Carl always seemed young at heart and always ready for new acting work. Gonna miss seeing Carl in The Mandalorian and Grogu film.
  16. Positive sign that this new movie will be titled BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE and hopefully enough for a third film titled... BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE! Hopeful all these decades of development hell pays off.
  17. Thought the same before seeing Napoleon, ugh. I use IGN for movie reviews and they're mostly spot on.
  18. OMFG... this could be a repeat of our last date night where we watched Napoleon. Can't we ever get a good f'ing film?!?! 😡 https://www.ign.com/articles/argylle-review-matthew-vaughn
  19. On a solid note WTF ever happened to the AKIRA anime series that was announced several years ago??
  20. Yeah but only the five richest kings of Europe can afford a flying car 😜
  21. Looks fun with a great cast but probably will wait till it comes to streaming.
  22. You'd think there would be a EV Kaneda style bike by now but I said the same about flying cars too, lol. I also recall when colored tires was gonna be a thing that was in development but that went nowhere too
