“STEAL” becomes a joke pretty quickly because for every plot turn, there are tech reasons why it wouldn’t happen. Simple stuff like printing out sensitive financial docs. (That shit is logged and alerts are sent.) A day of research on Google could have fixed the script 🤩please Hollywood take note.😢

“Die, my love” excellent cast - great acting (Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, & hats off to Nick Nolte!) Buuut the pieces don’t quite fit. (Editing was slow but also the direction was off.) Like, the actors did what they what they were told, but even they didn’t know why😅

“Creator” had a great set up, but it ends up coming off more like a kid’s movie. The violence is pretty mellow and there’s no blood - ever - & they keep babbling on about how androids aren’t real & “they are just programming“ and they hit you over the head with that for two hours. Oh well 🤖

“Hidden” (2018-2022) have been really good, but it decided to have unecessary drama and torture porn & as a result is about seven episodes longer than it needs to be (I only was watching 1) I don’t have time to just sit around and watch people suffer when it doesn’t even advance the plot yuck.🥸
