Oyaskii you remember back then we had discussions about HBOMax 4K content? Now see the titles for Max relaunch and you'd see HBOMax was never serious with 4K for the past 3 years.

Cinemas are not an easy business. Whether people purchase tickets or not, screens run. What a business of loss as electronics depreciate quicker from use. Sha, it was good as I viewed ATSV alone.

Not really.... The trailer gives a docu vibes of some sorts but it's probably drama.

Be calming down
Try and understand what he is saying first
Comparing Inception with Rodriguez's movie is a scandal. I don't see the similarity at all because I recently rewatched Inception, nothing can be compared to Inception except another Nolan movie imp.

The quality of films and directors Robert Pattinson has been getting shows an actor who cares about his craft. cool
Good to see him back on the menu after years of going underground with indie films and developing his acting chops.

Tom Holland has revealed in a recent interview that meetings about the next Spider-Man film are "on pause in solidarity with the writers," adding: "There’s been multiple conversations had, but at this point it’s very, very early stages."

BarbieHeimer owns July.... grin

Man shouldn't expect theatres to not heed Nolan especially after he entirely shot Oppenheimer all on IMAX 70mm film.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 6:14pm On Jun 02, 2023
Why do I find this funny.
I was always suspicious of WB keeping Barbie on that release date. 😂


July will be an interesting month....

Hypnotic ..........6.8/10


Watching this movie, I can see why some rated it very low and some others felt it was okay.

I think most of the people who gave this movie like 2/10 didn't get past the 40 minutes mark.

The first 40-50 minutes or so felt like the worst movie I'd seen in 2023...
I knew there had to be a twist, cos the movie couldn't be that bad...

I had several ideas for the twist including the Rourke being the bad guy or that Lev Dellrayne didn't exist...etc

I hoped the twist would somehow explain the bad writing decisions and make everything make sense

The twist came and everything did make sense


However this movie still suffers from an execution problem. The idea isn't bad, but the execution had problems. A lot of the plot points were set up earlier...a lot was foreshadowed but when it came to the execution, it wasn't done well

A major plot issue here is how hypnotics powers work. I believe it was said that they manipulate through the brain...i.e make people see a different version of reality.
For some weird reason this hypnosis seems to work on someone miles away even before they were in any close proximity. For example the division agents were under the hypnosis of Rourke's daughter right from miles away in Helicopters even without them being anywhere near contact.
It's even likely that she hadn't met many of them ever in her life, yet they were already under her hypnosis.
Things like this break the entire rules and power system set up previously


For the twist, while the twist could be said to be good, everything that came after was badly executed and mostly predictable. The plan of Rourke had many holes in it...same as that of the division
E.g Rourke being allowed by the Division to take his daughter away. For someone they were grooming that way with so much plans, there was no reason to let her out of their sights. Anything could happen, her parents could hide her, she could be involved in a random accident, a third party with spies in the division could take her etc

It makes no sense that an agency like that with their high tech didn't have a decryption AI to decrypt a code like Lev Dellrayne being very similar to the name of a street?
That they somehow had no info about his past that he lived with surrogate parents for many years?

Rourke's plan to lure every division agent out to kill them was laughable


He somehow bet that an entire agency would send every single agent out to get him? And they wouldn't have any more agents at their base?
If he killed the ones that came, shouldn't they have more to send after him?

He somehow bet that they wouldn't snipe him out of their helicopter or car? But instead all would come out in the open like idiôts against a hypnotic?

The after-credits scene didn't even make any sense. The division leader foôled Rourke, his wife and his daughter (the strongest hypnotic alive) easily.
Then why did they need the daughter in the first place

The division had hypnotics on their teams but couldn't use another two to breed and form another child as a backup plan?
