The Fall Guy’s box office has me asking the question posed in this headline. It is not rhetorical. I genuinely want to know, because I feel like I have no clue. screencrush.com/why-did-the-fa…

The Phantom Menace is older now than Star Wars was when it first opened in 1999. With nostalgia for it on the rise thanks to the Disney+ shows, I decided to give the movie another shot.

Didn’t go great to be honest! screencrush.com/the-phantom-me…

After years of hearing about it, I read the unmade script for Oliver Stone’s Planet of the Apes movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It is ... something. screencrush.com/unmade-planet-…

I asked. Here are the most common answers:

1. Movies are expensive. I wait for streaming. 

2. Trailers were bad.

3. Being based on an old show made it seem unoriginal.

4. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are old. The leads should have been younger.

5. Shut up old man.

Agree to disagree, but the ads I saw I thought made the fun/comedy clear.

Also Your mom WOULD probably like it! But younger folks might like it too. This was part of what I wrote about it in the piece. But perhaps I am just An Old too.

This is excellent.

I hadn’t really thought about ranking the films in ages, but if I’m honest VI, II, & IV are all close together at the top and VI also might top my list (it’s a tough call).

I must speak my truth:

I no longer think The Wrath of the Khan is the best Star Trek movie. And here is why. screencrush.com/star-trek-6-be…
