I didn't find E6 boring for a change, a lot of things actually happened. just pretty piss poor by lotr standards, which is a shame because this guy playing Adar is fantastic and owns every scene he's in.

Just all feels like bad fan fiction

yeah the return of the fighting made me realize how boring it's been as a whole so far
 
Pretty shameless by Apple. Surprised by them being first out of the gate with this.

Also, I'm sick of that guy. Zero interest seeing anything with him in it.

Well, other than video of the slap itself, which is in fact still the greatest thing ever captured on tape.
 
Watched the first 3 episodes of the Quantum Leap reboot. Hoping it gets better, but so far it's missing all the charm and je ne sais quoi of the original.

I don't think I realized at the time, just how good Scott Bacula was. I watched a random episode of the original series the other night and it was just so much better than the reboot. It's not just nostalgia either... Bacula was pretty damn charismatic.

Not sure I can look at him without seeing that slap anymore. Cruise jumped on a couch and it hurt him for a few years. This can't be reversed.

I'm also really starting to get tired of these mostly bad dramas that come out September-on that aims to fool voters and get awards. Most are terrible. I am also sick of some great performances in non Oscar bait films getting ignored.

I mean...did that hurt him or did making mediocre movies during that period of his career hurt him? A month after the couch jump War of the Worlds dropped and did 600M internationally and it was shit. MI3 was mediocre and did 400M (MI2 sucked and did 550, MI4 was excellent and did 700M). Lions & Lambs sucked and bombed.

It was one of the weaker periods of his career for quality of what was dropping.

Will is going to be fine. Emancipation will probably be very good (Will can act his ass off) but take a PR/box office shit kicking for being a Will project and that will be his pennance. He's got a Nicky Barnes biopicish black crime project that will probably attract a bunch of attention (and should have an excellent story), and then Bad Boys 4 because nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

It’ll be overlooked, maybe as soon as this film, because memories are short, but I hope he languishes for a while.

Poor Cruise professed his love for his girl and was blackballed for years. Haha. Fresh fucking Prince should serve some time.

He needs a timeout. If these movies weren’t already in the can and burning a hole in their wallets, they wouldn’t be doing anything with him. Apple may in fact and have third party commitments with the director or others to release the film. Still not a good look.
