57. Return of the King

Mon Mar 13, 2023, 02:18 PM

Mar 2023

I’d also argue the Departed, Parasite, and Slum Dog Millionaire were decently popular and successful.

Not Avatar or Titanic money, but $250+ million is nothing to sneeze at.

But point taken. I couldn’t do Tar. I tried, I couldn’t. I’m exhausted with these movies that are Acting! vehicles. It ends up feeling a bit cold, calculated, and dull if I can perceive what is being done.
