I may be guilty of doing this...this thread is targetting me!

I think they may need to do a course correct and move on to Doom as a big bad for the future! Isn't FF slated for 2025 or so? As much as I enjoy most of the Marvel stuff and this series in particular, it does feel like Marvel Studios has been all over the place since Endgame. Or maybe since FFH/NWH, since those felt like an epilogue to it.

That was the third one!

There's also Click with Adam Sandler. More of a going forward in time one but I think it still counts. Also, it has one of the most depressing scenes in a comedy movie for me, the flashback to the last time he spoke to his dad part. Timerider! I haven't watched it yet but I know it involves a guy going back to the old west from the description. Maybe someone can help me with an older one, my uncle says he swears there was a movie that came out in the late 80's/early 90s that was a Bill & Ted rip-off, he thinks it was called Norm's Awesome Adventure or something like that. It involved vikings, maybe? Google fails me here. He insists he saw a trailer for it back then but it does not sound familiar at all. Aren't the Planet of the Apes movies about time travel? Never saw the originals. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is a time loop movie.

Wow, that cube scene in the last ep was pretty dark for this series. Even if you don't see anything, just the thought of it is enough to creep me out.

Krull was the bomb, I can tell I'll rewatch it in the future. It's just a fun adventure movie with great characters and music. So I watched Friday the 13th III! So it starts off with a disco sounding track LOL. I thought that had died by the early 80s? So...this is by far the worst one so far. The story, the writing, the characters, the acting...oh boy, the acting. It's just so bad. All the characters are so vapid, there really isn't anyone to root for here except Jason. But he finally gets the trademark mask! One of the best bits is early in the movie when a biker gang is in the convenience store and one of the main characters gets held up by them, right in front of the cashier who does nothing LOL. Of course, they get killed when they show up at the campsite, except for one who manages to wake up after getting the beat down from Jason earlier. He comes to and and tries to attack Jason only to get hacked up seconds later. I had to laugh because the girl trying to get away would be wondering where this random biker dude came from. And the movie ends with the Final Girl getting into a boat to just drift around. It worked in the first one since viewers wouldn't have seen the jump scare coming but in this one you're expecting it, so it's dumb. I guess the surprise was that it was Jason's no longer headless mom jumping out this time? There's an odd timeline thing in this one. The FG tells her sort of boyfriend, who had a neat eye popping death scene BTW, that she ran into Jason in the woods months earlier. When would this have happened? I'm not sure how much time passed between 1 and 2, a year since that's how much passed IRL? But 3 picks up immediately after 2. I guess she ran into him prior to the second one but it just seemed weird, also because he was running around without a face covering. And then it ends with that same disco track! I do not recommend the OST for this one.

Yes, you just see her scream after finding the dude's body! They don't even show her body later, oddly enough. I did have to laugh at how the "You're all going to die!" old dude is one of the first to go LOL. Like, you know the camp is cursed, so..go hang there at night? Makes sense. Oh! This one did not take place at Camp Crystal Lake, it was at a neighboring camp on the same lake. Interesting fun fact to use for a trivia contest.

Friday the 13th part 2! Sticking to my October horror movie watching. Guess I could put this on the horror movie thread, too but whatever. So no hockey mask yet, just JV in in his overalls and a bag over his head LOL. He's not that intimidating in this one, even one of the dudes in this manages to fight him off. I mean, he loses but he lives to the end. And that's another thing, this movie introduces multiple characters that end up surviving! The final girl, her boyfriend and the funny dude. Funny dude only lives because he stays late at the bar instead of going back. We never even see him again. Sometimes it pays to party all night. I see this one started the nude scenes and the gore, you had the one girl skinny dipping and you actually saw most characters getting killed in this one. And they had like a whole 30 second shot of that girl's butt in tight jeans, they knew their audience back then!

I agree, Majors is awesome in the part. Not exactly comic accurate since Kang is supposed to be from the future and not the 1800s. Guess they gave him a little bit of the High Evolutionary's background for the MCU!

So I finally got around to starting this, I only watched the first one so far. So that opening was...yeah, that was a thing. From the first episode alone, it's already worse in terms of content. I don't mean the series is bad, but it's more twisted? To characters getting killed by menstrual blood to...small person sex play, think shrunken down Wasp with a normal sized man, it's an interesting show so far! It's kind of like the X-Men to the Boys Justice League.

I feel like I've seen Prince of Darkness but I only remember it's about the devil coming back or something. It did have a cool theme song!

I watched The Thing! So I thought I had already seen this but I guess that was the prequel one. So that worked out because this one starts where that one left off. This movie has some of the best and disturbing practical effects I've ever seen! Ending to this one is way better than the prequel since it's so ambiguous. "Let's just...wait here and see what happens."

Second one was a bit slow, doesn't feel like much happened other than finding out where Sylvie is. Bit odd an Asgardian sorceress would choose to work at a McDonald's but whatever makes you happy LOL.

More horror movies for October! V/H/S 85: Weak entry IMO, the only good one was the lake/family part of it. The rescue worker one was pretty dull, the video tape killer one was okay and the lab monster segment was....well, the end of it was funny. Totally Killer: I wanted to like this one but it was only okay. I know they had to incorporate time travel into it but couldn't it have been the MC being chased into some lab or something instead of her high school friend's science experiment that just so happened to be a time machine LOL. But great casting for the characters! The younger actors really did look like younger versions of the older ones. I felt like it petered out in the end, when they got the killer it was just like "Oh, it was them, well, they're dead now." 7/10, worth a watch but not as good as it could have been. I would recommend Happy Death Day as a better horror comedy that involved time travel.

I agree, awesome first ep! I hope Ke Huy is in the whole season, he was great in this. Loki has been my favorite of the Marvel D+ series and it looks like that opinion isn't changing.

New season starts tonight! Looks like Disney is keeping the 9 PM schedule for their series from now on.

If they had Billie play Leia and they gave her the sidebuns, I'd keep thinking of her as Chanel #3 from Scream Queens LOL.

Yeah, not the greatest finale. I feel like they just decided to throw in a bunch of action for it but didn't move the story forward enough for a season ender. I knew it would be a cliffhanger ending when it was over halfway through and we hadn't seen Baylan or Shin yet. Hey, I saw someone on Reddit suggest Jonathan Frakes for Baylan! I have a hard time seeing him as a villain type, he always seems too nice. Think he could pull it off? I don't know if any of the big Trek people have ever starred in anything SW related before.

No One Will Save You! Interesting take on the home invasion type movie as this this time the intruders aren't human. There is also almost no dialogue in the entire movie, either, I think there are two lines total. Wait, no, there are other lines but you won't understand them LOL. I liked it, 8/10 for me!

I just found out Claudia Black was one of the Nightsisters!

It's not bad but it is a very by the numbers super-hero movie. I'd still recommend it, worth seeing on streaming at least. The characters are likable and it was neat seeing Ted Kord's costume, even if it was just on display. Not much else to say about it, honestly.

Failed certificate!

These last two eps have been the best! Awesome choice getting the same actor for Thrawn, the voice really makes it. And that is seriously live action Ezra, it's amazing. I love those little turtle guys!

Maybe it's like the Nexus in the Star Trek movies, where if you've been there once, a part of you is always there. So when Ahsoka was near death, she went back there until she revived.

Yes! Let's get some Old Republic stories.
