its on Amazon Prime

That's unfortunate because I don't really enjoy spending time reading books. I might be interested in listening to the audiobook though. Then I can listen to it while doing some other repetitive tasks that don't require much thought.

I feel like they should show certain movies to a test audience to get feedback and maybe rework things if needed before releasing it to everyone. There have been so many movies like this where I am captivated throughout and waiting for something to happen in the end, but then it disappoints and feels kind of flat. It feels like they came up with a good concept for a movie, but then didn't spend then time to fully work out a good story and just gave up in the end.

With this movie, I would prefer if they didn't stay faithful to the book and just made a more interesting movie. Everyone that enjoyed the book would complain that they changed it and I understand that as well, but you can't please everyone. Some books can't be easily turned into a movie and in those situations, instead of not making the movie or making a bad movie, I feel like the story should be changed and the two types of media will just be slightly different stories that are both enjoyable.

Thank you.

And welcome to mine!
It's a very enjoyable movie. But better avoid watching it with kids.
I'll just say if someone is alone watching a movie or listening to songs on headphones, take a break every once in a while to see if something has happened. I'd like to go into more detail, but it will cause nightmares. :(

It was! Thank you 💙

I really enjoyed it. I watched it in an old 'movie palace' from 1927 that has 'oriental' / middle eastern theming,
so it felt like I was there :)

Thanks! If you mean by 'teenie horror' one of those movies where a bunch of teens get killed off by some psychopath or other, then not at all. It's actually a pretty clever riff on a very popular movie from the early 90s that was not even a horror movie - not saying which as that would spoil the fun a bit. Better not to know before you watch it.

Usually like 8 but there have been times where I went crazy and watched 3 movies a day, every day, for a month. Burned me out for real, so I'm back to 1 a day.

Yeah I guess you need a palate cleanser when you go that hard with movies. One a day sounds like a good rate to catch up with you know... aaaaall the movies. Especially since you don't limit yourself to recent/US/blockbusters movies.

And you know you're already on my WL, but thanks for your comment anyway. :D

Heh yeah I should have said I just can't resist commenting on a thread that has "movie" in it somewhere.

Thanks :)
Yeah, I really enjoyed the unexpected twists, especially early on, in a sea of predictable movies, that felt new besides being a great critic.

thanks ^^
