The trailer is already better than the last 8 seasons of The Walking Dead and its associated spinoffs

@dogmeat because zombie movies are the dumbest and dullest genre fare
Terrible trolling

Watched it with the other half. Wasn’t too bad.

Moana 2
I quite like kid's animated movies I watched with the family when younger and often try and catch sequels/remakes when the come out, so tried Moana 2.
My advice: don't
Bland, pointless, boring, paint by numbers waste of time, even for a kids movie.
1 at least there was popcorn out of 5 can I have my two hours back please.

Napoleon. Holy fook this was bad. Farking awful. Appalling not only in terms of historical accuracy but was also a meandering mess with umpteen scenes of Napoleon mulling over some issue while eating. The final Waterloo battle had some cool scenes, but was ruined by an absurdly camp performance by the dude playing Wellington and a guy with a fůcking sniper rifle!!! Complete trash.
Blink Twice. Also shit. Potentially interesting premise about billionaire luring people to his private island and abusing them (shades of Epstein) but poorly executed, poorly acted and boring. Only interest in seeing what Christian Slater and the kid from Sixth Sense are up to these days. Clearly not much.

Wicked
Having seen the stage show a couple of times, it was going to be interesting how they translated it with basically unlimited square metres to play with.
My complaints: they fucked arrived with a couple of the songs too extend the timing of certain scenes. That's it.
Overall tho it was pretty bloody good. Arianna Grande is actually fucking funny and her voice is far better than I expected from a pop star.
5 talking goats out of 5 Jeff Goldblums.

Side note: while I grew up with parents who had a decent appreciation for musical theatre (Gilbert & Sullivan's featuring prominently), it was my wife-to-be's family who got me genuinely interested when I moved to Sydney.
Her father was actually one of the leading percussionists in Australia in his younger years, and first call for any show coming to town. Also toured Asia a few times with Australian productions, and when he was just a teenager went to Vietnam as part of the entertainment.
One of our first shows together was Chicago which was interesting for me, sitting in the third row: very attractive women wearing not much and gyrating on stage.
