#movie #77: Black Phone 2
This movie put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day 😅
#movie #83: Die Hard
First Christmas movie of the year watched and fucking adored.
#movie #84: Carry-On
Home sick, feeling miserable, put on a very okay movie with one wild sequence.
#movie #87: Wake Up Dead Man
Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyal, Rian Johnson?
Edit: I’m sure there are other murder mystery writers out there doing great things, but is anyone else doing it at such a mainstream level? If so, I’d love to hear about them!
jasonclarke@matt_birchler OK, but do you remember, or care about, the plot?
@jasonclarke Of course! The "doesn't rise to the heights of the last one" was because the story in the last one was really impactful for me.
Honestly I'm not sure why this franchise in particular gets this specific criticism. I have seen sooooo many more forgettable stories.
Tim Chaten@matt_birchler @jasonclarke Still need to watch 3 but 2 had a very impactful story for me especially at that time being a brand new dad
@matt_birchler Fair enough. I saw the first one, really enjoyed it at the time, and quickly could recall almost nothing about the story. Perhaps having been in 3D had influence on that, but it eliminated any desire to see the following ones.
