Movie #56: Abigail
Movie #57: Presumed Innocent
Movie #58: Prometheus

Movie #59: Twisters

Packed theater, too and they seemed into it.

Movie #60: Aliens

Let’s get myself into some trouble…

Movie #61: Alien³

Woof.

Novie #62: Thelma
Movie #63: Alien Resurrection
Movie #64: Alien: Covenant

Movie #65: MaXXXine

Pearl is easily the GOAT of this series.

Movie #66: Blade Runner 2049
Movie #67: Ready or Not

Movie #68: The Instigators

It’s like every actor asked “what’s my motivation” and they were told “I don’t know, the script says you do it, so just roll with it.”

Movie #69 (nice): I Saw the TV Glow

Movie #70: The Abyss

And thus completes my Cameron list of shame…well, besides Piranha II, but I'm not holding myself to that 😂

Movie #71: Detained

I guess it's nice that this job probably made a few people eligible for health insurance for the year 😬

Movie #72: Longlegs
Movie #73: Trap
Movie #74: Old School
Movie #75: The Killer
@matt Is this a straight remake of his old movie? It was so great.
@matt Loved this one! Glad it clicked with you even with the decent rating! Did the end credits stinger give you a good laugh?
@tchaten Sorta, although that guy was one of the people who I was like “NO ONE WOULD DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS” so it was dulled a bit 😂
@matt Ah … I am the kind of viewer that buys all into the world setup and goes along with what ride is in store and the decision making of the characters didn’t bother me at all for this one because everything else was so perfect to me
@matt By sheer coincidence, we watched it last night as well. We couldn’t abide it, but that’s just what makes movies so awesome - nobody enjoys the same ones!
@matt How common is it for you to turn off a movie that you’re not enjoying without finishing it?

@jarrod Oh man, it’s exceptionally rare. I generally want to see if they pull off something redeeming in the last act.

I got close with this one and watched at 2x for a couple scenes, which I never do either, but sadly that only revealed that the worst part of this movie was the third act 😂😭

@matt Haha same here. Good commitment!
@matt out of curiosity special edition or theatrical (VERY different ending)

@tchaten I once again must say that I watched on streaming and was not given any choice in the matter 😂

Looks like it was the theatrical cut. I’m assuming you like the special edition better?

@matt The special edition is probably my favorite Cameron movie. It provides a different context to the situation, and at least for me, it’s the superior version.
@matt Abyss has been my favorite for the longest time.
@matt Just “liked it”!?!?!?!?!? Matt are you sure you are watching the right version of these movies and not just some parody YouTube account?
@matt first time hearing of this! Will check it out.
@tchaten @matt Oh same here! I wanna watch this now
@matt “What’s their motivation?” is a question I’m constantly asking of characters lately and not seeing the answers. It’s what separates a lot of good movies from great ones.
@matt We almost watched it last night but it sounded like every other movie of that genre. Watched "IF" instead. Very sweet.
@matt I started … so bored with it, no idea if I’ll finish
@tchaten I…would spend your time on something else 🙈
@matt As a rule, I don’t like horror films, but that was a very fun movie.
@matt have you seen Prisoners yet? An earlier movie from him that is great too
@tchaten Yup, I dig that one too. I think the only one of his I’m missing is Incendies.
@matt Finally a good movie take. Though you failed to mention Roger
Deakins, so 0/10.
@ChrisLawley @matt are y’all going to do a movie podcast in the spirit of Comfort Zone next?
@nlott @ChrisLawley It would be called CONSTANT YELLING…but yes this would be a fun spin off 😂
@matt @nlott It would be funny but oh boy we would be yelling.
@ChrisLawley Oh buddy, believe you me, I'm a Deakins die hard!
@matt didn’t mention it though. 🤷‍♂️
@matt one of my favourite movies!

@matt agreed. Wrote my quick review a few weeks ago as well!

Attached: 3 images Watched the X/Pearl/MaXXXine trilogy this weekend and it was fun. Wrote down my quick thoughts on each movie:

Hachyderm.io

@fantinel Very nice! I actually totally agree with your reviews of each!

Also great use of color on the reviews 👌

@matt thanks! It’s from a pretty neat web app I use 😏
@matt Apparently I completely misremembered the plot of this movie.
@matt YOU DO NOT RANK THIS THE SAME AS ALIENS!! SHAME! SHAME!!!
@matt Love Covenant - the opening is brilliant - the David developments are fantastic - didn’t quite stick the landing - but also a fan of this one
@matt Oh boy I can't wait for your Prometheus review
@nileane @matt I was confused why Covenant before Prometheus and it turns out Prometheus was #58

@brzz @matt Ah! I missed that.

Well, I'm surprised you liked it Matt 😅

@nileane @brzz Prometheus is my shit! Probably my second favorite in the franchise behind the original.
@matt @brzz What 😭
@nileane @brzz I feel like I did something wrong but I don’t know what 😩

@matt @nileane I’m a Prometheus defender too but putting it above Aliens is wild to me 😅

Aliens is the best of the franchise

@brzz @nileane I’d flip those two personally. I know people loooove Aliens, I wish it hit as hard for me!
@matt @nileane What the actual fuck Matt????
@ChrisLawley @matt 😆😆😆
@nileane @ChrisLawley @matt Matt is a wise one Prometheus is freaking awesome!
