Matt Damon gave an interview and made this point. Back when he started producing in the 1990s the DVD release gave a movie a second life. That gave the creators a little leeway to play around. Now a movie is tie to a big opening weekend, so the makers have to stick closer to the formula.
Well, I never played the game so I went in knowing nothing. I got it for free.
From that stand point, I’d gibe it a 7.5/10. It was no worse than Guardians/Galaxy 3. It had some funny moments and some good action. I watched it to the end, which puts it ahead of a lot of other movies that way less hate.
0·16 days ago“The Veil” with Elizabeth Moss. First of all, it’s wild to see sweet little Peggy Olsen doing a turn as an ass-kicking super spy. Second, it’s a nice twisty plot with good acting and photography. One short season, so you can binge in a day.

Go read old school science fiction writers like Roger Zelazny and Poul Anderson. Roger wrote about men becoming gods and vice versa, and Poul created hundreds of alien races.
There are literally thousands of great stories out there that no one has ever done.
We want new stuff!
Modesty Blaise was supposed to be a ‘refugee’ raised in ‘the Middle East.’ She could be Kashmiri, Afghan, or Iraqi.
I’d do it with two actresses; a fifty-something Modesty narrating her life story and a younger actress for the early years.
Left Wing people know that are going against the State when they protest. They leave their phones home.
Right Wing people think they are doing God’s work, and expect to be praised for taking the law into their own hands.
Giuliani got lucky when a reporter named Jimmy Breslin broke a the story on a big scandal involing a local Democratic bigwig. That was what lead him to winning the New York City Mayor’s race. As Mayor he was famous for bullying civil servants and arresting the homeless.
When Rudy was mayor of New York he proudly arrested homeless folks and subway fare jumpers. Surely such a dedicated protector of the law isn’t averse to being treated that way himself?
Is there anything that more adhesive when wet?
Asking for a freind.

Teflon is non stick!
Just what you want in sex!
Someone said that they think the Mayans were right and the world did end in 2012. It’s just sputtering along on momentum.
Yeah, self made man Obama who never looked at another woman after he married is a tool of Satan, and the guy who embodies all Seven Deadly Sins is the finest man alive.
Oedipus blinded himself after he found out he’d slept with his mother.
That’s devasted.
There’s an old myth. Man finds a genie. Genie tells him that he gets one wish, and whatever he wishes for will be doubled for his worst enemy. The man chooses to lose an eye so his enemy will be blind. That’s the MAGoos, willing to lose half of what they have to make sure their enemies lose everything.
The Evangelicals have addressed this.
David had Bathsheba’s husband killed; Noah was a drunk; Lot had sex with his daughters. All were holy men, chosen by the Almighty to perform great deeds for the faith.
Sometimes the Lord chooses broken vessels.
This isn’t satire, it’s how they explain it.

There was a contest to win a dinner with Trump.
Somehow, none of his supporters ever actually got to visit him at the White House.
No one despises Trump’s people more than Donnie.
Broccoli’s father produced the original Sean Connery classics, and she grew up with the franchise.
The bosses at Amazon only got control because of a deal they made where the franchise was part of a much bigger package.
Of course they aren’t going to listen to the woman.
This is why “enshitification” is the word of the decade.
