It was quite hilarious. They talked about how she wasn’t really their friend.

I sorta enjoyed Dark Fate which I watched earlier this year but the point remains. It’s just done by T2. There’s no juice left no matter how you spin it - and it’s arguable that there was juice in T2 that came from itself and not from simple contrasts to the first.

I like them both, though the second is a def crowd pleaser. But I kinda feel like the who story is done by the end of the second. There's no more bites of the apple, as each film has subsequently proven.

I saw Aliens in a drive in when I was like 9 or something and it scared me to bits lol

Yeah, lots of it holds up. The police station is still great. The model stuff is a bit dated, and hurts the end a little, but not hugely.

It was an R rated film when I was a kid so it was hard to get a copy that wasn't censored. But last night parents were bringing their kids. Time doesn't care a shit for you, I tell you.

Nice edition of the Bolaño.

Yeah, Hitman is great.

He has a lot of good, interesting character work. I feel like it’s a rarer and rarer thing to see these days, but he understood his losers.

Yeah. Ragging on those less fortunate is for everyone I guess.
