"Set in the DCEU. Only shown in exclusive screenings in August 2022. The film was set to be released on HBO Max, before it was shelved in 2022." What a shame. This is a film that hasn't slipped out for other to see (ex: like the shelved "Fantastic 4 [1994]" film)... Hopefully some film fan out there will be able to get a copy and upload.
@gazex69 - have you considered a small external box (like a mini-PC) running KODI? Most TV's are both underpowered and lack the memory to handle good playback. Kodi is nice as it will handle anything you throw at it, and is free. Kodi is a simple to use platform... However, you can get complicated with it as well: I have a centralized NAS PC with 65TB (and a 65TB backup), and all the other screens run KODI. And they end up using a centralized SQL DB that allows all the devices to share the same watched list. (You can load KODI as an app on many TV's, but unless that TV handles external memory well, you will end up running out of space quickly. I don't recommend that.)
s01e01 was a good start to the series... I hope the quality of the story stays as good. . (ps... the "woke" complaining folks... yeah, I get it. Your white hoods prevent you from enjoying life.)
The name of the show was going to be "Good Christian Bitches". And as you expect, the show was canceled after one season. One really fantastic season. If you find this, download it. you won't be disappointed.
@askanison - Yes! she did! Lost 30+ pounds (if you check online). While she was good in Argyle (2004), her weight made her character a bit unbelievable. But here as a "stand up comic" suddenly turned undercover cop... she was very believable. Considering that I haven't heard anything about this flick before it showed up here, it's really a good watch! Good date night flick.
Greet vampire flick. Like most vamp flicks, the first half is setting the stage: Getting to know the characters and their lives. The second half is when everything goes straight to hell (in the vein of "From Dusk Till Dawn".) For sharecroppers in 1930's Mississippi, Jim Crow laws made sure that freedom was not much different than slavery. The Juke Joint (black owned bar/dance hall) was one of the few respites from a truly horrible life. Two brothers who had made their fortunes in Chicago had come home to open a Juke Joint, and then... Well... watch it. :)
"my" predisposition? I spoke out against the homophobia of another poster and YOU jumped in supporting them. You can't have Freedom only for some. It doesn't work that way. Me? I'm Hetro. and Old. Like crypt-keeper old. The idea that folks need to "adjust" is bullshit, as it just allows hateful bigots to continue to be hateful bigots.
@Raf - Here's why, and you may want to ponder this for a while... For fascism to work, you have a population ready to say: It's us against them. All our problems are cased by "those" people. If we just get rid of "them", then everything will be perfect. Right now, Fox "News" has called out over 200 things that are "woke". Woke is being used for ANYTHING the sub-intelligent MAGA want to vilify. Eliminating "Woke" eliminates anything they feel like. It empowers the hateful and the ignorant, justifies hatred, beatings and murder, and loyalty to an authoritarian. Pick a minority, suppress it, destroy it. (Hungary & Turkey are going to shit in the same way) This is why Freedom is hard. Because if you fight for and believe in freedom, then it is not the freedom of the majority, but the freedom of the minority that defines the freedom of a population. I'm done.
@Raf - Freedom is something that is very hard for some. Yes, 30 years ago, LGBT was less "noticeable", but that was because people were killed for trying to be who they are. In some locations of Africa, being outed is a death sentence TODAY. Do you support that? Is that your agenda? Kill people for who they are? (Like Africans, Jews, Armenians, Tutsis, Bosnians, etc) The Roman Catholic faith influenced the "LGBT free zones" in southeast Poland. Do you really think that "eliminated" people who are gay? Do you think that there were no gay people a 1000 years ago? 6000 years ago? If it makes you feel icky... but you previously said two lesbians are OK with you, then are you "against" or just feeling "left out"? Freedom ends at your arms-length. Lucky for you there is a remote control there. Watch something else.
A penguin, a revolution. A true story. it is absolutely amazing how much you will learn about the 1976 fascist revolution and the disappeared in Argentina while watching a film about a broken man and a penguin. it is so well done. Recommend.
@unruly-flat-earth - Hmmm... I guess that is why they SPECIFICALLY put into the movie the x-ray scene with the scientist SPECIFICALLY saying (in a movie exposition way) that it is NOT a member of the horse family. IndyWire has a long article on how they decided on the features of the unicorn, for those that want to know. Personally, I think the tripping balls feature of the unicorn was far more interesting than lasers. After all, it's sharks that get fricken laser beams on their heads. As to the movie: watchable, but mixing comedy, fantasy and horror is a tough balance to blend right. At first it seemed a bit slow, then it really teetered on is-it-fantasy or is-it-horror without a deep enough commitment to either. As a result, some of the horror (ex: head scene) seemed out of place. Tea Leone looks great for 59. In the end, it is just a dad-daughter bonding flick. With a lot of blood.
It's a movie that you have seen MANY times before: a perfectly wonderful boring place where residents have created someplace that they think is unique and special... Then pull pack the veneer and horrid things exist. It's kind of a boring film.
What a shame.
