Suki is a badass. I like the breakout at Boiling Rock.

Sex is the white elephant.

Joseph and one of the daughter/wives going for a handshake and missing was a highlight.

I watched this on stage this afternoon, before then, I knew some of the songs but what I knew of it was entirely from the bible. I was told to watch this version when I got home so here it is. This is very different.

It's no Jesus Christ Superstar.

Biggins.

Miyagi-dough is actually genius.
Surprised to find it's called Miyagi Hut in other countries.

I have to start this by saying I had actually managed to be two seasons behind on Cobra Kai, I binged the last two seasons in two days. I have lived and breathed The Karate Kid for the last week and I really enjoyed this. I know a lot of people don't feel it fits very well with the rest of the franchise and I agree, but screw 'em. This is fun, Ben Wang is kickass and I'm totally onboard with his fancast as Iron Fist in the MCU.

Daniel's inclusion did feel a bit forced, as if he was just there to stop people complaining about him missing like with the 2010 film. Han saying "I'm going to see my friend" and then just being with this guy that has no idea who he is was an odd choice and I think I'd rather he wasn't in it at all. If you're going to make a sequel to The Karate Kid (2010), just go all in.

It was rather rushed after Victor's thing, I'd have liked some more time with him, his and Li's relationship was my favourite part of the film but after that little mishap, they don't interact much.

7.5/10, would watch again.

Lisa Kudrow didn't roll on that limo for long enough, I wanted at least a few more bounces.

Miyagi has the wink, Han has the sob in the car.

I was one of the many people that mocked this movie on release, it should have just been its own thing rather than using the The Karate Kid name. But hey, what did I know? I was 11. It's actually not that bad, I still don't think it should be called The Karate Kid though, he learns Kung Fu.

Dre was just asking to be picked on. Kid just moved in, hadn't even unpacked, and he's flirting in the park.

There's also no way that he made it up that mountain.

Now I have to catch up on Cobra Kai before Wednesday. There was too much stuff being released when the last season dropped so I haven't gotten to it yet.

There's not much karate in this one but at least Daniel isn't being a creep. Unfortunately there's another brat to deal with.

Miyagi needs to stop hanging out with kids. He looks so fed up having to listen to Julie and Eric.

Ambition without knowledge, is like boat on dry land.

Domhnall Gleeson as Owen Carver, the only billionaire we should let live.
Only because it's Domhnall Gleeson, not because of the character, fuck that guy.

The Shrek the Third of The Karate Kid franchise.

The only thing it is missing is Johnny showing up to put Daniel in his place.

Shrek the Third is my favourite Shrek.

I will never understand how Daniel LaRusso is so popular with the ladies.

A wink from Miyagi would make me feel invincible.

He's 24, leave the poor guy alone.

How do you go down on someone at all when Spider-Man 2 is playing? That should have your full attention.

The most positive thing Kevin James will ever do for the trans community.

That chicken should be cancelled for all of his turkey jokes.

Miyagi kicks a teeneager in the balls.

Daniel is a creepy prick and should be on the receiving end of Ali's right hook.

I forgot it just ends.

Every little interaction between them made me smile.

This was just lovely.

Eh, So B. It.

I have to give credit where credit is due, it's not terrible, I think Stitch looks decent and I do like that it's given more attention to Nani. The actors for Lilo and Nani did a great job, I don't blame them for any shortcomings and wish them the best.

Why is David dumb now? They just made him an idiot, he should be thoughtful and ive of Nani, not just one bumbling fool that acts as a lackey.
Jumba and Pleakley, I don't think look as good as Stitch. They also don't have the same chemistry I expected of them. They were written so differently to their animated counterparts. Zach
Galifianakis' voice just didn't fit for me.

As I sit here taking a dump, I think about my ohana and how I will encourage them to just rewatch the original.

Did get Stitch dressed as Elvis though.

My favourite show, Denton, what are you doing here?

I hope his gran didn't live to see this.

How did this get multiple screenings but Odeon can't get their shit together and show some Lionsgate films?

There is no way the new Lilo & Stitch is going to top this.

How do you convince the owner of a trawler, that you're trying to shut down, to let you film their work?

My takeaway from this is that we need to open a Chum Bucket in the Mediterranean.

Truly a testament to the genius of Humanity's creativity. Wow! That scrolling text full of exposition, miraculous! The formatting really made me feel as if I was about to go on a magical journey.

Those arrowheads are horrendous. They wouldn't enter cleanly and the exit would make a mess. Using them on any living thing would be incredibly inhumane but I suppose that's to be expected of elves.

So much contradictory dialogue.

Like a crappy fantasy show from the 90s/00s dragged out to an hour and a half but somehow worse.

Why are all the extras filthy but the main cast are all dolled up?

My favourite part of the film was a guy eating some bread.

Stock footage animals.

I'd rather rewatch this that watch Mission Impossible.

Linda Cardellini.

They both should have broken down crying and had a big sloppy bro hug on that sofa; the pat on the back was not enough.

Half a star to lesbian nonna.

What does it mean to 69 someone nonsexually?

That asshole at the end itted to being a minor, he should have been kicked out of the club at that point.

It's a sweet lil thang, good watch.

Aww, Matty.

Sue, you deserve someone as special you.

Daniel, you're a prick but we'd have probably been friends.

I'd read a lot of negative things about the film and I can see where they came from but it's certainly nowhere near as bad as they'd have you believe. I only had a little issue with the pacing; after the perspective shift, it slowed down quite a bit but once it got going again I had a really good time.

Fuck that kid.

They had a study asking a bunch of kids what they thought was cool about Final Destination and then a movie was made with two of the things they said and way too much shitty CGI.

The pool filter and escalator are iconic though; way to instill fear into lil kiddo brains.

My plan for this evening was to go to Birmingham and watch Pavements. I really want to see it but it's hot outside and I stupidly decided to watch an episode of Andor before leaving. I finished Andor. It's amazing.

Rogue One is everything great about Star Wars and watching it immediately after Andor elevates it to a whole new level. Cassian was a bit of dick but now I've watched two seasons of his life, I wish I could tell Jyn to fuck off.

Props to Michael Giacchino, his score slaps.

Watch Andor.

Watch Rogue One.

He watered the plants.

No, I just can't be arsed.

I don't like this franchise.

I can't even hate watch it.

Why is one of the biggest action franchises so boring?

No Wendy, it's sad that you didn't know SpongeBob lives underwater.

This films production was delayed so that Mary Elizabeth Winstead could appear in one of the greatest films ever, Sky High. I like to think that her short break from this film for that, made this one even better. Thank you Sky High for making such an amazing Final Destination.

Fake and gay, would watch again.

I've only watched the first few, I need to get through the rest before the new one.

Where does he get these masks from?
Is there a mask guy always at his disposal?

I just like seeing Ben Stiller.

Nooo, Nicky, don't be sad.

Shouldn't have stolen the little cup and saucer. You can steal branded stuff but not the establishment's own equipment.

That was, a cover of I Melt With You.

I think the highway pileup is my favourite of the trigger deaths. It's not anything extravagant but definitely left an impression on me. Everytime I see a truck carrying anything like that I think of this movie.

They need to stop letting Kimberly drive.

Uh teehee and such

I wasn't planning to rewatch this so soon but I have nothing to do until this evening.

My opinion has not changed but I do have a greater appreciation for what it does do right. It's entertaining but the other characters need more time in the spotlight. Florence Pugh, Lewis Pullman, you were fantastic.

Say that again.

FANTASTIC.

I've been listening to a lot of Ben Folds recently. I've not actively been trying to, Spotify shuffle has just decided that's what I need at the moment. I think it was trying to tell me to rewatch this, so here we are.

I need you to understand, I'm not rooting for the humans, I'm rooting for Dwayne LaFontant. That guy deserves major respect, being able to identify all of those animals on smell alone is astounding. I'm sure he'd have completed the job without issue and written it off as just another week if it wasn't for that coked up squirrel.

Justified crash out.

Fitzgerald needed more bullets.

I bought a ticket to a gig Friday but then tickets went on sale for the double bill of Final Destination and and an early screening of Bloodlines. Immediately got a ticket for that and decided I'd just live with the £16 loss from the gig. As much as I'd like to now stick with this plan, I want to rewatch the franchise in chronological order, that means watching the first film twice if I go to the bloodlines screening. Mary Elizabeth Winstead isn't in that one so I don't know how I'd manage. I'm just going to have to wait until next week and watch it on its official release like a normie.

I think this is pretty disappointing for the franchise and the ending is all that makes up for what I consider to be lackluster deaths compared to other entries.

I just watched a movie about sentient shoes.

That dog should have been put down the moment it was born and the kid should not have put his entire future into the aglets of some shoes.

This review may contain spoilers.

Should I have rewatched the first one? Probably, I don't a single thing from the first film. All I do is that I didn't really care for it.

Margaret is the only one with any sense.

What crappy glass. If it breaks from the force of one guy falling onto it, it shouldn't be used for anything.

Imagine going on holiday, your dad dying and then having to watch your mother get remarried.
Nicky took it all very well, not a single emotion was shown on his face.

All these reviews going on about Timothée Chalamet when Josh Ruben is right there.

Idk why this is rated so poorly, I really enjoyed it.

I know it's May fourth, but this is what I watched today. My Star Wars consumption for the day, is instead hacking at sweats with a lightsaber in Fortnite.

She could try and be a little more creative; do more than just draw horns and tails, throw a mustache in there occasionally.

A robot that forces itself on you to brush your hair without consent seems wrong.
And you can just tell your bot to go attack people? What other crimes can they commit?
Is that even a crime in this world?

The more I think about these bot and this society that is so dependent on them, the more issues I find.
I still want a robot though.

Greenwood deserved to get blasted.

Bad mum.
Good bot.

David.

Thunderbolts* is good, at least compared to some recent entries to the MCU. I love The Sentry, I'm happy to see him on the big screen, even if they've made some changes. I understand them, I accept them.
Him showing up is really the turning point, up until then, I was stuck in a state of waiting, waiting for something more.
I really wish they'd given more time to other of the team, they're all just a fucked up, instead they repeatedly went to a single event in Yelena's past. There's more to her, there's more to them all. Don't make a team movie if you're not going to show off all of the team.

That little girl? Damn.

Post credit scene, baby!

*just stand around while Bob and Yelena talk about their feelings

I don't think they're going to let that one boy back into camp next summer.

Big up Martin.

I think it's the soundtrack that does it for me.

There are so many references to the other one. I appreciate this one more now after finally watching the original.

Why are some American kids in the 60s using the term "Coventry treatment"?

I loved the remake as a kid, I've always meant to watch this one so here we are.
They really didn't change much in the remake.
Shot for shot.
Even a bunch of the dialogue is the same.

Imagine waking up to find that Obama is president and you're married to Channing Tatum.

Right at the end, they start to walk down the street, why did they walk so close to that kid on the sled? Give them some space, the rest of the foad is empty.

I love mac & cheese

My imaginary friend was a dragon named Harry, I don't think I want to fuck him.

That was beautifully horrific.

Props to the sound designers, that snow was crispy.
