I'm shocked that you haven't watched, and loved, this terrible movie already. I own it and have seen it multiple times 
I love it
Buried somewhere in storage
Free on HBO/MAX though
When you think of big blockbusters doesn't this come to mind? 
Trying to think of some other 'Fun' - Horror/Blockbuster/Summer Popcorn flicks to get going today - The Mummy with Brendon Frasier comes to mind - it's been years upon years - don't recall loving it but maybe I should rewatch it
Not many choices for 'Horror Blockbusters' out there. Maybe I'll get a JAWS marathon in since it's the kickoff to Summer. Maybe Piranha 3D - usually do that during Spring Break though (which I just did a couple of months ago)
Any Horror Summer Blockbuster recs?

Gotta disagree with you there. I liked it! I mean, yes, it is unnecessary, but aside from that I thought it maintained a pretty good level of tension throughout. Hard to believe it was also written by Krasinski because it felt like a bad remake of the original, written by someone who didn't understand what made it great. The prologue served no purpose other than to give Krasinski some screen time. We know the creatures came from space. It isn't much for world building and it served no purpose to the plot. They used the same weakness to defeat the creatures again, just in a different setting. We saw so much of the creatures that I felt like they really lost their luster.
It was paced well, it certainly never dragged at 1h37m. And the performances were solid. But storywise there wasn't anything there. They could've explored the breakdown of society with the group of creeps for a bit, or given us more than one scene with Djimon Hounsou's group. There was plenty of time to raise the stakes by showing us something about this world. A sequel should expand on the premise, this just gave us the same thing over and over again. Try to be quiet, accidentally make noise drawing the creatures in, blast them with feedback and blow their head off. Rinse, repeat.
It also relied too heavily on horror trope jump scares. I know it's a creature film, but it worked really well the first time around because there was so much mystery behind what these things were and how on earth you could defeat them. They showed us too much of the creatures and we already know their weakness, you're just waiting for the moment. It wasn't as tension filled in that regard.
Speaking of horror tropes. I've often called A Quiet Place the anti-horror movie because horror characters are morons who make terrible decisions to split up the group and die alone for no reason. In AQP, the family comes together to survive, time and again. Nobody bails, even after they have a fight they run toward danger to help each other out-- because you have to stick together in a world like this.
In this movie that all gets thrown out the window, everyone just kind of goes off on random side missions. Evelyn chastises Emmet for not wanting to help people, while she decides it's a bad idea for Regan to want to help whomever is sending that signal over the radio. Marcus is left alone with the baby and he decides it would be a good idea to roam around the warehouse alone with a gimpy leg. Regan decides to leave the family and take the majority of their supplies with her-- including the gun, the radio and of course her hearing aid which are their only defense! It's completely insane that any of them would do this after what happened in the first flick. And I was rolling my eyes after the 15th 'I think the creature is gone, oh no it's still here' jump scare scenario. There are much worse movies out there, but this was as generic as I guess I expected when it was announced. It didn't need a sequel and the way this film turned out is proof of that. You make some very good points and I don't necessarily disagree with anything (especially about the actions of the kids, and even more so about the boy, who really should have known better - he's not eight years old, for God's sake!) but I was still able to enjoy it.

Part III looks like it's going to abandon the suspense factor altogether and go full blown action. Watching Saving Private Ryan now.

Watched Army of the Dead over the weekend. Pretty much agree with what people said here. It's dumb and it's fun, but there's a lot of missed opportunity with very predictable plot developments and yet also some gags that are teased and then oddly never pay off. And clearly they're going for a sequel, but (spoiler, I guess) nobody really survives, and the cast was definitely a strong point.
Anyway, it was enjoyable, but too long for a dumb fun action zombie thing, and there was one visual that I thought was out of place in a movie with an otherwise fairly light tone. I found the typical predator-esque clicking zombie sound effects pretty annoying after a while.
While I really didn't care for a good portion of the CGI, I thought the movie had a surprisingly cool photographic look. I learned later that Snyder acted as his own DP on this movie and he clearly went for a different kind of aesthetic. Unless he went with a digital process (which could be the case), it looks like he was using specialized or antique (maybe faux-antique) lenses. He was shooting a lot with wide lenses and prime, but there is some real character at the edge of those frames. There are oddities and flaws, and a loss of focus just around the exterior of the composition. It's a strange choice for the genre and tone of this movie, but it's maybe the most visually inventive that Snyder has been in a long time, and it's a very analog approach, or at least is convincingly made to look that way, which is not what you'd think you'd get with him.
Also watched Those Who Wish Me Dead. I like Taylor Sheridan a lot as a writer, and he is one of a few credited writers, and directed this. The cast is pretty decent but why Angelina Jolie chose this movie as her first in a while is a mystery. It's an OK time waster, but this movie is not good. You never find out what the Maguffin is. It's presented that there's a reason that 2 guys are trying to kill some people and will kill people who get in the way, but that's about it. The story kinda feels beside the point and just an excuse for tough guy actors to act tough during this firey action movie, but the action sequences and the wild fire backdrop are very lackluster. It's another of the recent action kinda things that feels like a throwback and is kinda ok for that, but it's just sorta bland.
Also watched the series Halston on Netflix. Very typical biopic structure and yet more evidence that not everything needs to be series. This could have been a solid 2 and half hour movie, but instead it's like 6 or 7 episodes. It's fine, and it's a guy and his story that I knew almost nothing about, but Ewan McGregor is doing some pretty good work and the lady who played Liza Minelli was great, although everyone is living a wild life style but they make her look saintly, which is odd. But it's fine, and even though it's longer than it needs to be it's not as long as other series. I watched a documentary about the guy afterwards which was fine too. Then watched a couple of docs on similar time periods and subject matter which were Studio 54 and I am Divine. Neither were really the kinda thing I have been very interested in, but both are a kinda interesting bit of history that I didn't know a whole lot about. So that was something.
Just started Queen's Gambit last night. I'm enjoying it so far, but again, don't know that this needs to be like 8 hours long. I'll never understand why people complain about a 3 hour movie but will which 8 hours of a series in one sitting. Makes no sense to me...
But these performances are good and even though some of the ancillary characters are a little cartoonish, the central roles are well drawn.
But so many newer series are set in the past but are very modern looking. The ultra high def digital photography just doesn't look good to me, and it sticks out so much more when it's in a period setting.

It's another of the recent action kinda things that feels like a throwback and is kinda ok for that, but it's just sorta bland. Vague spoilers ahead everyone. Yeah it works as a throwaway action flick, but there really isn't much to it and a lot of it doesn't make sense. Agreed about the MacGuffin. The casting was bizarre in general, not just Jolie. Littlefinger and Beast as the hitmen seemed like they pulled those two actors' names out of a hat. Also those two characters are like the dumbest hitmen ever and are written inconsistently. Movie starts off with them killing an entire family (including a crying baby you could hear in the background), yet later Littlefinger expresses reservations over killing a pregnant woman-- even after she's permanently disfigured him with a fireball to the face. The strangest thing about this flick is the entire subplot, the backdrop of Jolie and her smokejumpers is completely irrelevant. They have several scenes establishing these guys at the beginning, and you never see them again until after the conflict is resolved. All they do is give Jolie & Co. a ride back at the end. I know it's cliche (but hell, this movie wasn't exactly a masterpiece), but I was really hoping this would turn into an 'army of goons picks a fight with the wrong people on their home turf' kind of an action flick, but that never materialized. We spent so much time with these guys at the beginning for no reason whatsoever. Tyler Perry decided it was important enough to meet the hitmen at a truck stop but not enough to assign more assets (that were present in the area, because they met them at the airport) to the operation. A few more unanswered questions: (Nitpicks I guess, but really the movie is what it is.) What exactly was the purpose of trying to outrun the lightning, and why did it seem like it was stalking them? Moreover, why wasn't Jolie killed when she was struck? To be fair, plenty of people survive lightning strikes in real life, it's just odd that a film would set it up as a deadly obstacle only to have the person survive being struck. Probably the oddest scene was the crew at the bar picking on that chick and her boyfriend. She looked 20 years younger than the rest of them, was she supposed to be someone's daughter? Why were they talking to her? Again, that entire subplot went nowhere so I guess any scene with them was as useless as another, but this one seemed so completely random. Finally, and this is more of an unintentional comedy thing I guess, but whose truck was Jolie in when she attempted that parachute stunt? It wasn't one of her crew, and the guy never stopped to see if she was ok after she went crashing into the woods. "Ok lady, you can try jumping out of the back of my truck, but I'm not coming back for you!" I guess the scene further establishes that she isn't right in the head, it still seemed unnecessary and completely inconsequential which is the funny part. At the end of the day it was a low-end-of-average flick, I can't really complain because I didn't expect much going in. One positive I have to point out, a particular favorite of mine appears in this film, and that is the use of a good "Fuck you!" during a fight/action sequence, by the kid no less. Always a fan of that in any film, it's worth bonus points in my review.

Always a fan of that in any film, it's worth bonus points in my review. You're totally right about these hit men characters. They are, presumably, elite, well trained operatives working for, presumably, a high powered and well connected criminal big shot, but they also leave a mess a crime scene and discuss how someone really should be there to tidy it up, then they just fucking leave. It would have gone a long way to just show them covering their mistakes or doing anything that would suggest they were professionals in any way. I entered into watching this with the assumption that the Jolie smokejumping thing would be the main storyline. When they introduced the bad guys that are bad for some reason that they never bother telling us, I really thought that was going to be the subplot. But instead the subplot was the main plot, even though we were never told what that plot was. The lightning thing, as I understood it, was stupid enough but I don't think she got hit by it. I thought the kid asked her and she said she just got knocked down when it hit the field, or something. The rest I can't defend or explain, least of all the girl in the bar. That was so weird and out of place. Really every moment with those guys was painful. They tried so hard to make them seem folksy and just 'a group of guys acting like guys' and they were brutally annoying... somehow I ended up appreciating that they weren't around much, even though we all know that this movie should have been an old school action movie with the guys trying to kill Angelina in the woods during a wild fire like a better version of that Howie Long movie, but instead it was this... for some reason. I guess it was based on a book, which may or may not make any more sense or may not be quite so dull. I shouldn't have expected much from it, and I initially didn't, but then I saw Taylor Sheridan's name in the credits and I thought it might have a chance to be something.

I was like "ok, these hitmen picked a fight with the wrong people, this is going to be fun." And I guess that character did show a little sass but nowhere near what I thought might happen after all those establishing scenes at the beginning. About the lightning, she says it didn't hit her, but it seared her shirt and burned a hole in her shoes. It's not the problem with this movie, I just thought it was weird. I also didn't realize Sheridan was involved until his name appeared on the screen, glad I didn't because my expectations would've been much higher. I wonder if the film was just marketed horribly, or it deviates from the book, I have no idea. If Sheridan had more creative control would it have been better, or is the book that boring and he wanted to be true to the source material. We'll never know, I guess.

I have a backlog of books to get to and I don't really read fiction anymore, so speculation is all we have.

Rewatched A Clockwork Orange (1971) last night. I can imagine how modern day Hollywood would howl if that film was made today. Can't believe there aren't some who are looking to censor it now. I'm betting that within five years, there will be calls to remove it from the National Film Registry (even though it didn't get in until 2020).
Thank God Kubrick came along when he did rather than today.
After watching it, I think I'm going to view If .... (1968) next - - I need some more Malcolm McDowell in my life.

Have you ever seen "Accident, Suicide, or Murder"? I saw an episode of it yesterday and thought about you. This is as great an insult as I can imagine. Subtle as a hand grenade. I'm worried that I'm thinking about screamingtreefrogs when I'm not on this site.

Mike Tyson: The Knockout Aired on ABC in Prime Time All these years later this man is getting documentaries made upon him and they're airing on a major network in Prime Time It's always the same story. Always. How many times can you do a doc on him? But yet I (and the world) cannot stop watching them What a fascinating individual 1/2 through the 1st of 2 parts and it's tremendous as expected  Have you ever seen "Accident, Suicide, or Murder"? I saw an episode of it yesterday and thought about you. Never saw it but I just googled it and it's on the Oxygen Channel so I'm assuming I'd love it
I'm addicted to 'Snapped' - it's usually about some crazy broad who offs her husband/lover - true life stories
I'll have to give this one a watch at some point

It's well made. It's no American Justice, but there are traces of that show in it.
