Dodged a bullet.
Actually I didn't mind ID4 2. I think people forgot how 90s action disaster films were. I think ID4 2 definitely played like a 90s movie with 10s effects.

She was technically the second Ann. Alessandra Torresan played her first in one scene for about 30 seconds and no one seems to remember. Alessandra Torresan is the real 'Her'?

Well if they are positioning this as a fight between authors and IA, IA is the giant and individual authors are David.

Just so you know, IA had incoming revenue of 36 million in 2019. I doubt many authors come close to that.

The ending isn't great if you do understand it. But yeah people were salty about that for a while.

It doesn't help that there were some awful movies recently that seemed to borrow heavily from the book like Antebellum and I seem to recall another but can't think of the name.

Season 1 of The Handmaid's Tale is pretty much the first book. They cut out the mother character and things like Gilead having tourists but most of the story is intact.
Most of the extra stuff is when they ran out of source material.

Fan of the book but living in Europe so waiting until it is available here before watching.
So I am actually surprised that it wasn't a mini series. It's not too long of a book. If they could get all of The Handmaid's Tale (314 pages) into a 10 episode run, it feels like you could hit most of Kindred (287 pages) into an 8 episode run.

I imagine what would happen would be that it fails to capture the same audience the original did. Then they will do what Fantastic Beasts did when no one was liking the movies so they decided to bring them back to Hogwarts. A Lost spin off can only avoid the island for so long.

There seems to be so many people who think the ending meant they were dead the whole time and I see it repeated often. The ending to AI is another one that isn't suppose to be ambiguous but people seem to misconstrue what is happening a lot too. They weren't aliens. They were just more advanced robots.

The Mowerys are doing Christmas movies at the moment. I watched one and Ray and Lisa played her parents. There parts weren't even relevant to the plot. They had them green screened in Hawaii talking over the phone. They have mini reunions like that all the time. There is a Netflix show with a Mowery and Jackie Harry too.

I think in season one he was very much the monster and villain. Season 2 tried to balance it by trying to make him reform and trying to be merciful to the drug dealer he trapped. By season 3 he was the rational one so Love could be the villain.

Show titles rarely make sense after the first season or two. How is Jess still the New Girl when she has lived with them for half a decade. Are they still Friends or a hook up circle. Twin Peaks? But James Hurley is out of town in that rich ladies house. He Broke Bad in season one. He's done Breaking. Even The Wire wasn't about a wiretap after season one.

Stranger Things episodes became movies, so it was more like when they released those three Fear Street movies weekly.

One problem with the show is that they don't really know what to do with Joe. They keep making him the hero of the story and then need to pull back when they remember that he isn't.

That's the joke. It's about a one hit wonder girl band of the 90s reforming after a rapper samples one of their songs. They then go through a whole thing where they realise they were exploited and that their songs weren't as empowering to young girls as they thought. But it is light on message and heavy on comedy.

Hopefully the move will do to Girls5Eva what it did for Cobra Kai.

She was Alia's roommate in Duck Butter which was semi-autobiographical, and the character she was based on was Elliot Page, who was Alia's onetime room mate.
