Re: Gendo watches more movies in 2022
Yeah my friend who has been recommending it to me for years since it came out (i-am-robin from IMDB in case anyone happens to remember) said that he re-watches it all the time and can't get enough of it. 71. Clash of the Titans (2010) - Pretty bad, but a little entertaining. Aside from the story and...

Re: Gendo watches more movies in 2022
70. Onward - Excellent. Up there with some of the best Pixar like Up, Inside Out, and Coco. It was a fairly unique story, or at least told in a unique way. The characters were interesting and fun. The ending was fantastic in terms of how they went against the common expectations of such films. Maybe...

69. The Great Gabbo - Not bad for a crappy old musical. The main story was pretty interesting, with some good performances. But the musical part of it was kind of dumb. All lumped together as a bunch of songs near the end that had nothing to do with the movie itself. The ventriloquism stuff was pret...

66. Upstream Color - I've been looking forward to seeing this since it came out in 2013. Been on my wish-list for years, but the blu-ray was always pretty expensive online. Finally bought it, and watched it immediately. My feelings and opinions are best summed up with this: https://c.tenor.com/BxFmI...

I watched Arlo's long and very critical review of the game.

The only thing I disagree with is him not liking the boss fights much more than the regular fi...
