Sort of like being given all the tropes of Fleming’s fiction, adding any of the unused stories/ideas from previous EON productions, and then making a script out of them, but not a hodgepodge (ducking under my desk now).
A script, a hodgepodge. Who cares?
The Meg
Yeah, the first one.
I had seen it back then and was lukewarm about it, possiblly because I had expected it to be more „Jaws“-like.
On second viewing I did enjoy it a lot, I must admit, because it really is more „Jurassic Park“-like. And the CGI is pretty great, so much better than in so many other films, especially recently. Also, it is wonderfully paced and throughout highly entertaining.
Now I want to see the sequel.
Strangely enough I’m looking forward to seeing this more than any movie this year
Why is Wiseau doing this to himself?

Zack Snyder remixes Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Avatar, Dune and whatever…
This is what’s wrong with Netflix and the algorithm structure. You don’t get anything original, just a mishmash of everything you have already seen too many times.
Joseph Sargent and James Bridges warned us in 1970 that an algorithm would turn out to be our overlord. And we didn’t listen!!!
Next up: “What do you mean, Terminator predicted this???”
Here’s something… a trailer that flat out admits the movie was created based on reading social media comments
Debased immoral brutes asking for debased immoral brutality on screen which they think looks cool but in real life would send them crying to their basements.
Are they going to properly pay their writers? And no more live action remakes! I hope.
And…
