Beetlejuice (1988)- Watching in prep for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Boy was Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder young! Wait, we were all young! 🙃


Beatlejuice Beatlejuice (2024)- When the scream writers sat down to flesh out this story, they asked a question, “How crazy and silly stupid can we get?” 🤮

Not worthy, kind of awful. Michael Keaton goes through the motions, his heart does not seem to be in it. A lot of lame attempts to kindle fond feelings about the original story to provide cover for a lame, inconsistent, beyond my limits, silly, at times grusome, nonsensical waste of time.
 
My favorite Michael Bay movie is The Island, many physical effects. 😃
My second favorite Michael Bay movie is Armageddon (1998)- incredible energy, enthusiast performances, incredible eye candy, and bordering on over the top action.🙂 Then I caught an article regarding Bruce Willis and got a little depressed.

X-Men (2000)- Not the first Marvel movie, but it establishes X-Men in the MCU and in the overall story, devotes a great deal of time to Wolverine. At some point, viewing X-Men 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is a must. I have mixed feelings about X-Men 3, although it’s worthy enough, although they seriously short change the equivalent of the Dark Pheonix Saga. Although a later movie addresses the Dark Pheonix, I’ve not yet seen it because it got bad reviews. These are the actors I imprinted on, and I although I gave the later X-Men movies that portray the younger X-Men a chance, I don’t like any I’ve seen.

Q-6
any suggestion for some of the older movies, eg James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Bogart and such?
I cut cable several years ago and now miss TCM and AMC, neither offer subscriptions afaik. Not sure I want to buy some/all of those that I might be interested in.

The Internet Archive is the place to look, has thousands of older films. I watch a lot of Film Noir from there. Quality varies, but for these older films is generally good enough.


Should keep you busy for a decade or so LOL...

I cut all subscription services years back, is just a racket. Always been big into free open source software, same applies with films. I dont mind paying, I do mind renting, I buy only physical media latest being The Keep.

Since then have come across some exceptional films. Now I have the reigns and am not spoon fed the typical Hollyweird garbage of today by some faceless network...

YouTube does have a fair few old films; TubiTV, PlutoTV and Plex have a small selection. You can also find a lot of classic content in the video section of the Russian social media site OK.
