Oh 100%, he was sold a dream like everyone else in the movie that didn't work out. The Christmas Adventure Club are the uber villains in it.

Yeah, I'd be curious. (I'm just glad it's not a 3D glasses situation where it's just a second pair)

Sean Penn's character is almost a parody of a Paul Schrader protagonist so him being frustrated that we have no empathy with him is also very good.

The movie being nearly three hours means the final sentence is either a typo or a very funny backhanded compliment.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. FB friends have asked my opinion. Filmmaking at level A+, but try as a might I couldn't muster up an ounce of empathy for Leo D'Caprio or Sean Penn. I kept waitng for them to die. (Penn's performance , however, is a masterclass in peacock acting.) What held me in my seat for the better part of two hours was PT Anderson's Joy of Filmmaing.

Oh, I saw Peter McGann is in a new one for younger audiences (I think) called Showkids that looks interesting, so hopefully soon.

Yeah! Also I watched "No Worries if Not" recently and very much enjoyed it, so I think they are figuring it out at the moment.

I assume you checked the carbon footprint of the appliance company before you bought their freezer. 🙄

Oh yeah, it's all good until there is a mix up and a pensioner accidentally read aloud the cursed words of the Necronomicon. Did you consider that, Melinda?!?!?
