It is so unique to me and such a shit sandwich of a situation this young couple got put in.

All these horror films usually start with dumb decisions, let's go on this secret road off the highway or lets investigate the secret of XYZs death and end up their next victim, but this one?

Let's make a commitment and go house shopping and lose our lives window shopping houses.

There are unexplained things, like the guy who seemed to work as a handyman and used to manual labor gets killed by shoveling from sunup to sundown?

Also the girl I think she died from falling through the multiple layers of the same community?

Ultimately being put in the body bad suffocated her, but what took her from a healthy young adult to Padme levels of losing the will to live seemed like the falling through levels she went through. I guess only the aliens were able to survive that.

Yeah, it was a really wild movie. I didn't really understand what they were trying to say with it, but it was intriguing nonetheless.

When checking the Wiki page, it said also like:

Good news is that Matt Damon has signed for a sixth Jason Bourne film.

The plot of "The Bourne Crypto Crapto" has already leaked:

Jason Bourne made a "Fortune Favors The Brave" crypto ad for crypto.com. Subsequently, the crypto market plunged. Bourne doesn't remember anymore that he has made the cringe crypto ad but then finds the massive bag of ad money sitting inside his barn: real cash, no crypto currency. Bourne is puzzled, cannot fathom how he could have been a mouthpiece for the crypto industry, investigates his colossal momentary lapse of reason and single-handedly addresses the matter.

In the current film plot 'Bourne' can deal with everything that's thrown at him but understandable he has had another bout of amnesia after doing this particular ad

I wonder if he ends up fined like Paul Pierce.

Going to watch "Violent Night" tonight. Heard it is a fun ride.

Will let you guys know what I think.

I would usually do that as well but it'll be raining here tonight so I can't take my (almost) nightly walk so I am going to watch this instead. It recently came to my TV for a reasonable price.

Murf the Surf · 02-21-2023, 06:41 PM

I am definitely watching this: The most fun you can have watching Nazi's get destroyed.

asianF22 · 02-21-2023, 08:54 PM

watched Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania this past Friday, thought it was ok. could it have been better? yes, just my .02

So watched this last night. Was funny with some action. Was not really what I expected. Honestly, wish I had waited for it to be free.

M5Rick · 02-22-2023, 12:13 PM

Watching this now, got the Bourne bug and in this one Jeremy Renner plays the hero; I wish him well recovering from his real time horror accident.

Yeah nah looks shite. And oh look a mixed race couple! How refreshing.

UncleWede · 02-22-2023, 03:24 PM

Watched the Menu after dinner last night. Might have been upset if I had paid theatre prices for it, but watching it on a borrowed HBO Max account, it was a good waste of time. Wife didn't seem to care for it, so kept coming up with excuses to make me leave the dinner table where I was watching with my son and g/f.

While I see myself ending up at some of these fancier restaurants, I also maintain I'm just there to enjoy the food, not see/be seen.

Sedan_Clan · 02-22-2023, 05:44 PM

I watched M.Night Shyamalan's new movie, "Knock at the Cabin Door". I was expecting a twist - as is typical of his movies - but there wasn't one in this movie. Not a bad watch for a Firestick and Coldstone night. I like doom & gloom, the world's going to end-type of movies though.

I've eaten at a few places like this.
Never really my choice...

If you like the taste of hubris, you'll like those places.

Ya, it was alright, can't say it was bad but was expecting something but nothing came of it. To me, the 'decision' was kinda a no-brainer.

As many in the movie stated, I want to ENJOY my food, and I want to leave no longer hungry. These places that go off the deep end with presentation vs function (fill my belly) I won't want to go to very often.

Decades ago I rode a snowmobile to a cabin in the woods near Denver to have dinner. I might have been able to make my own way back. After seeing The Menu, no way am I getting on a boat to an exclusive island for dinner

Check out 'Old' if you haven't. People love it or hate it. I loved it.
