  • Tarantino has some stupid-ass rules for himself. Won’t watch a remake, won’t make films past 10, likes Joker 2…

    I mean, I can understand him not liking Oliver Stone’s version of Natural Born Killers… even though I enjoyed it more on multiple viewings, but to not even give some remakes a chance… it’s just stupid.

    Imagine not watching The Wizard of Oz because he’s seen the 1925 version. Or Scarface, or The Departed, or Cape Fear, or The Thing, or Ocean’s 11, or The Birdcage.

    And didn’t he pitch a remake of First Blood and thought about remaking his own Reservoir Dogs?

    I like his movies, but he’s a hypocrite.




  • I enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe it helped that I saw it on the big screen. It’s difficult to bring new life into what is now the ninth in the series. But overall, I thought it was decent, but not great.

    I did think Prey was a fantastic chapter to the Predator series and I saw that at home. That’s how you reboot a franchise.








  • I was kinda upset with Disney/PIXAR for not bringing back Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling due to pay disputes.

    Amy Poehler got $5 million plus bonuses… and they offered Bill and Mindy $100k each. Now, I know Amy’s character Joy is the most important with likely the most lines, but that’s a huge difference. And then you cut out taxes, pay managers, agents, lawyers… the amount is a lot less. A slap in the face.

    Would kids notice the difference in voices? Probably not. But then why hire those actors to begin with on the first movie?
