The worst of it is that the movie is taking itself so seriously that it's going into CAMP territory. And not in the iconic Mommie dearest camp. I think this will flop in the box office for sure. At least I hope so, because this is a disgrace. I was prepared to love it, since the critics DEFILED it as a piece of trash weeks ago. I thought this was going to be some misunderstood masterpiece, but no... It's Lady Gaga taking over the Joker and acting like she is ACTING. Some of the scenes looked like a parody of the original movie. SCARY bad.

A remarkable quote from the same article, it polled worse than Megalopolis!

"the fanboys full-out rejected the sequel last night on PostTrak with a 1/2 star and 40% positive. Holy guacamole, Batman. Did the Megalopolis cynics show up last night? Because that’s the same Thursday night grade (actually 45% positive) that the Francis Ford Coppola-directed $120M dystopian epic received a week ago before inching up to one star on PostTrak."

We just watched it... since it's out today.

WOW...I can just say... WOW.

I've never gotten so creeped out during a movie... ever. It's not a HORROR movie, there a no jump scares, but it f-cks with your head more than the scariest movie you can imagine. And the acting - this is how it's done. Brava. Brava. Brava. One of the best serial killer movies EVER. 

10 out of freaking 10!

If I could... I would give it 11.

WATCH IT. IT'S on Netflix starting today!

And you know what...? Outside of the hook ('Is Tamera here?'), it doesn't seem like a remake at all. Reboot, but I am finding it highly enjoyable.  So I don't understand the hate, either.

Ha! Great to hear that someone else liked it too. It really got so much hate...   Yes, it was not some prime thriller or some deep meaningful cinematic experience... but it was fun suspenseful flick.

I remember and said that to you, too. But...I don't get it. It really was fun and suspenseful. In a way, it opened up the story a liiittle (but not too much) more than the original.

 

While I love my deep movies as someone who loves independent movies very much, even I have movies that are just...there. When I see a Resident Evil movie back when they came out regularly, I went to watch because 1) I don't like zombie movies, 2) I expect to see Milla kicking serious zombie butt, and 3) the action is usually superb and the set-pieces are to die for, and finally 4) the plot ain't that deep though I love a good plot twist.

 I expect nothing else...either I like it or I don't. Usually, I love them. In fact, I'm overdue a binge...lol. 

 

And I'm invested enough to see the sequel which has to do the job of a good sequel and expand the universe the story is taking place in. But I feel confident they will do that. I'm just worry that the hatred for the first one might dismay anyone from seeing it.

Wow... this was my reaction nearly half a year ago... I was seeing all the negative press about Blake Lively... that is now... revealed to have been an orchestrated smear campaign. Then and now... I believe her. Shame on the people that tried to destroy her. They will never succeed.

    • I wasn't expecting this. Leslie was the first character I saw on GH when I started watching.

    • Thanks @Paul Raven . I love that she even drew up a petition. A shame she didn't get to finish out that storyline, although it seemed to become a mess anyway.
    • It's funny to think one of the only later mentions of Justin/Sarah was in The Guiding Plight. They had some decent chemistry in the 1976 episode put out on DVD.
    • Very. They're building up his story again and picking the perfect time to do so. As the SilkPress storyline climaxes and go off in several great directions, they are building up that story to take a turn.

    • @Soapsuds Thanks for posting Night by night Mon 8pm The Rookies edged Gunsmoke but attracted younger(more desirable) viewers.NBC failed with Born Free/Smothers Brothers (how many different series did those 2 get??) 9-11pm  Maude/Rhoda/Medical Center dominated on CBS,but Football and Movies were competitive on an occasional basis. ABC tried  SWAT/Caribe later in the season and the former worked for them. Tues 8-11 pm CBS all the way Good Times, MASH, Hawaii Five O,Barnaby Jones. NBC had the fading Adam 12,Movie and Police Story mmm...don't see that listed? ABC Happy Days, which ABC decided to keep despite lackluster ratings, the Movie of the Week and Marcus Welby-once pulling big numbers but no longer. 8pm NBC had a new hit with Little House, easily beating Sons and Daughters, which was axed and replaced with Tony Orlando, which did much better. ABC had That's My Mama and the Wed movie. 9pm Cannon was the lead here as Lucas Tanner failed to capitalize on the LHOTP leadin. ABC continued the movie. 10pm Manhunter started strong for CBS but petered out and was cancelled. Petrocelli manged to beat Get Christie Love, which was replaced by Baretta-no ratings winner but ABC decided to renew. Thurs Another CBS night with The Waltons and a movie. ABC counterprogrammed with Odd Couple/Paper Moon then Barney Miller/Karen NBC did even worse with Sierra and replaced it with Mac Davis which improved ratings quite a bit. However, it was moved to 9pm for Sunshine/Bob Crane 9pm Some good numbers for ABC with Streets of San Francisco fending off Ironside,Archer and Mac Davis. 10pm Harry O had a slim victory over Movin On Fri 8-11 NBCs best night Sanford/Chico/Rockford/Police Woman. 8pm CBS had high hopes for Planet of the Apes but it bombed. Replacement Khan did even worse. Paul Sand and We'll Get By were tossed in at the end of the season. With poor lead ins the Friday movie didn't deliver. ABC's odd line up saw Kodiak flop, Six Million dollar Man struggle and Texas Wheelers  quickly cancelled. Kung Fu was brought in @8 and Six Million moved to 9. Then Kolchak took over at 8 and Hot*l Baltimore/Odd Couple 9-10. Despite controversy Hot*l flopped. 10pm ABC tried Kolchak then Baretta and finally Get Christie Love Sat CBS lead  with #1 AITF then Paul Sand/MTM/Bob Newhart/Carol Burnett. Paul Sand lost too much of the lead in so CBS spun off The Jeffersons and it was a smash. NBC did OK with Emergency (which beat Paul Sand on occasion, thus hastening that show's demise) and a movie. ABC was a disaster with New Land/Kung Fu and Nakia all failing. They introduced a movie @9 and moved Kung Fu to 8. Sun  NBC  with Disney and Mystery Movie (Columbo McCloud, MacMillan and Wife/Amy Prentiss)did well. ABC flopped with Sonny Bono and recovered by moving Six Million Dollar Man from Fri as a lead in to the movie. CBS hoped Apples Way would be another Waltons but no, so Cher did what Sonny couldn't. Kojak and Mannix successfully finished out the night. Two other shows on the ratings list were Adams of Eagle Lake starring Andy Griffith. Only 2 episodes aired and did well, so I'm not sure what happened there. As for The Law it was a series follow up to a 2 and a half hour NBC special movie .
