    Since this technically marks the end of the 365-day challenge(I will be watching tomorrow), I'm going to put the long write-up here.

    I want to start by thanking the Happening, you weren't just a movie for the whole year. You were a year of my life. It was rained 31 times, snowed 9 times, while I was watching you.
    My return to going to the after (about) a 20 year absence. My first concert(Westlife), my first trip to a city(Boston),…

    The movie that would get Sean Connery noticed for the role of James Bond. The story goes that Albert Broccoli's wife took the kids to go see it, came back and told her husband he should take a look at Connery, two years later and the rest is history. And you can why, Connery not only is best thing about it but also between his charisma and take charge screen presence he completely owns the screen.

    The rest of it is a man wheeling and dealing with a Leprechaun

    Released 9/7/01....it's all coming together...

    Painful boring, like watching paint dry, hardly any music and when there was it was terrible, whole lot of nothing happens in it. It was at its best in the last 5 minutes when it remembered it was a movie and even there it was baffling as it decided it was suddenly a doc style movie. I desperately couldn't wait for it to end.

    "We some kinda of rock star or something" Burnable $5 wigs.

    I don't think we could have asked for a better, more fitting, more beautiful end, if we tried.

    Top Gear has been part of my life for well over 15 years and saying goodbye feels like saying goodbye to a part of me. I respect them completely for going out on there own terms and who knows this might not be the last we see the three of together, just not with cars. But I'll miss it terribly and I'm…

    Congrats to the Russo bros you shoved 320 million worth of shit into a one pound bag.

    We're not even four minutes in and we the audience are being told how wrong we are for rejecting robotics technology.

    The Russo brothers have been extremely public about their love of AI. They made it perfectly clear they don't care about quality or hard work that goes into making films. They envision a future where AI makes the movies because who cares…
