Nice breakdown of the current situation at Paramount. Haven't seen Fall Guy yet, but I'm old enough to remember it as a TV show, although I was super small and the reality is it's not IP. So few of us movie fans will remember it. Honestly, it was a the opening credits as a 4 year old that drew me in with the flying pickup truck. What are your thoughts on Civil War? Not sure if you already wrote about it, and I missed it.
Thanks Steven! Lots going on. And who knows, maybe no one buys them. Wouldn't that be wild? As for Fall Guy, I never watched the show, but after seeing the intro on YouTube while doing my post I got curious too. Enough to watch it? Probably not, even though I'd love to, at 2am while barely awake, hah. Seems like a classic 80's "monster of the week" show.
Civil War, I did post an overview, but still need to see myself (see below)! Seems a divisive one from people I've talked to. Though aren nearly all movies when we get down to it? 😅
I actually did not find Civil War to be very divisive. I think it was a stark warning for us all, and went into the horrors of war, and how it might play out in a civil war scenario. I loved it as an excellent work of art that made super interesting choices (especially with the narrative and character choices), even though I found it incredibly disturbing.
Yeah, I should've clarified that the "content" wasn't necessarily the stuff that was divisive, but honestly just whether people actually found it interesting or not. Or maybe a better way to put it is whether people connected with it. As I wrote in this week's post, I'm finding that with Challengers. I really connected with it, but lots of friends are far more "meh" about it.
