Jaws 2 is a great sequel.

I’d say Jaws 2 is a good sequel. Great’s pushing it, IMO.

Serviceable is my word of choice. It’s not amazing, but it’s competent and is nowhere near as acrid as the other two sequels.
Whether it’s a great movie or not; I don’t think I’d say it’s great but I do believe it’s a great sequel. This may sound like a dumb thing to say, but I’ll explain what I mean.
I feel it’s exactly what would have happened to Sheriff Brody after the experience he had in Jaws. I love the scene where he yells for everyone to get out of the water, and various other “false alarm” moments because of the trauma he’s experiencing. My favorite part is when he tells the board meeting he knows what a shark looks like and he doesn’t intend “to go through that hell again!”

As impressive as 4K77 and other 35mm projects are, my preferred way to watch the original Star Wars trilogy is on Laserdisc.

That does make sense, namely in that Brody’s actions follow logically from his experiences in the first movie.
Death/black metal are dogshit. I’d almost rather listen to Lil Wayne than that literal noise.

Super Mario Galaxy is an underrated game, and is better than Super Mario 64.
Beetlejuice is not a good movie. I read the original darker script, and while I still have quibbles with the writing, it’s still stronger than the final movie. Every major change made was for the worse.

I just watched Moontrap (1989) for the first time. This movie’s apparently regarded lowly, but I quite liked it. The ending was executed a bit weakly, but I still felt it was was well-made overall. How wrong can you go with Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell as the leads?

Unironic love for the PT must be countered with unironic love for Battlefield Earth/Manos: The Hands of Fate/Plan 9 from Outer Space/Reefer Madness/Robot Monster/The Room/etc. It’s the only way to bring balance to the Farce.
What about minding your own business and not paying attention to what people like? And I don’t say it in a provocative way, I’m saying it seriously. The same goes for the PT fans who are constantly criticizing the ST fans. Why can’t people just mind their own business and let others have fun with what they want?

I likely made that post when I was in an extra surly mood and/or drunk. Pay it no mind.

Not sure if this is unpopular or not, but the new Wonka trailer that just dropped looks really good, and I have a feeling it’ll be a good movie.

The nuked refrigerator scene in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull is the best scene in that entire movie. Despite being ridiculous, it’s the only scene with a distinct 1950s personality befitting the premise of the film. The majority of the rest of the movie is just a bland rehash of chase sequences from earlier films set in a non-descript boring jungle, and could easily be transplanted into the 1930s if you swapped out the Soviets for Nazis and the glass skull for whatever. Instead, the movie should have taken Indy to East Berlin, and eventually culminated in an action sequence at a secret Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
(Alternatively, Indy should probably not exist in the 1950s, because Cold War Indiana Jones starts to closely approximate James Bond if you stray too far from the ancient civilization archeology angle, yet the “adventurous archeologist” trope is anachronistic after British colonial rule in the Mid-East begins to collapse.)
Haven’t seen Crystal Skull in a long time but this is all true.

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I have just finished watching the fifth season of Supernatural, and I personally feel like it should have been the end of the series. I’m not even interested in watching the subsequent seasons, because the season 5 finale is too perfect for me, so I just want to stick with it and pretend nothing else happened after that.

Tom Holland is a good Peter Parker and an awful Spider-Man. I’m always going to see him as Spider-Boy.
JEDIT: Already posted this further back.
In general, I enjoy TV shows more than movies.

It is still worth collecting Laserdiscs and DVDs even in the current age where Blu-Rays and 4K are common.
As much as i very much enjoy collecting them myself i like VHS and Laserdisc preservations i can watch on my modern tv or laptop even more.
I’m too poor to upgrade to 4k. For the same reason, I still buy DVDs alongside BDs.

House of Wax (1953) is overrated and a step down from Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933). Mystery of the Wax Museum was a unique film that had a strong female protagonist and a unique visual look that the remake lacks.

Yeah. Vincent Price is the only good thing about the '53 version.

I think Joe Johnston is an underrated director.
Wish he had directed more movies.
Batman (1989) is the best live-action superhero film of all time. The costumes, cinematography, art direction and score are all incredible, and Keaton is the best live action Batman. I also love the reveal that the Joker killed Batman’s parents, making their relationship more personal than any other version.
