They were less thrilled about STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER than I was.

I was going to, but Honest Trailers said that they were going to say whodunit in KNIVES OUT, and we… haven’t seen that movie yet. I know, I know: it apparently was really good! It just worked out that way. Got the DVD on preorder (apparently it’s just in video release at the moment); my wife and I will catch it in a week or so.

Anyway, here’s the Honest Trailer. If you’ve seen the movie already. It’s probably funny.

Not bad; Honest Trailers was perhaps a little unfair to some of the films that I saw and liked, but everybody probably feels the same way about the films that they liked. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD absolutely should walk away with the awards, mind you. It’s Tarantino’s best work*.

Gonna be honest: I’m saving JOKER for a day when I’m in a bad mood anyway. Why wreck a good one by getting this in my head?

That’s not a slam of the flick, by the way. I hear that it’s great. But hoo boy but it looks grim.

Come, I will conceal nothing from you: I haven’t actually watched either BAD BOYS movie. I’m not entirely sure that this Honest Trailer is convincing me to. Or that it’s convincing me not to. I am, as they say, on the cusp when it comes to these two flicks.

This was fun.

I’ve actually only seen either five or six Tarantino films (depending on how we’re scoring KILL BILL), but the bit in the middle — you’ll know the bit I’m talking about — had me wheezing with laughter anyway. It’s unfair to Tarantino; and yet, it really, really isn’t. It’s also simultaneously a pastiche of, critique about, and paean to the director. It feels… appropriate.

It’s actually rather good.

No explanations, no commentary, but it did remind me of a couple of movies that I want to watch again (DUNKIRK in particular*). Worth a look, if you like movies. And I guess that I do.

*I assume people saw it when it came out in theaters, but if you didn’t and you get the chance, do so.

First things first: GALAXY QUEST. If you have not yet watched it, then you are in for a treat. Go buy it or whatever and then watch the Honest Trailer.

Now, if you want to watch NEVER SURRENDER, which is the documentary about Galaxy Quest, you can get it here. Feel free. Really: Christmas is coming up and the referral money’s always nice.

I think that THE LION KING remake kind of broke Honest Trailers.

PS: Mrs. Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.

…Yeah, Tony Stark was kind of an [expletive deleted] sometimes, huh? Even in SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME where he’s, well, you know. Dead. I liked the movie a lot, though. And I’m glad that Sony & Disney figured out how to resolve their issues.
