@lalefi The one with Ana de Arnas and Chris Evans? That one didn't work for me. I love de Armas and after she kicked all kinds of ass in «No Time to Die», I really wanted this to be a longer version of that.

However, for a spy-action rom-com, the comedy didn't land, the romance felt forced (and I felt she and Chris Evans lacked the chemistry) and the spy-action was… okay, I guess? I suppose it fell victim to me having way too high expectations, but like most of these «streaming originals», I found it quite mediocre.The Marvel cameos were fun, though.

@AgentCooper The Favourite I can recommend. One of the funniest films I've seen in recent times, and I wouldn't class it even as a straight up comedy either.

Watch Hollywoodland instead of The Flash. That movie apparently using CGI to recreate George Reeves is one of the most egregiously vile decisions I’ve seen a studio make.

@nessisonett Not a fan of using dead actors via CG and I imagine there could be some interesting legal discussions if somebody ever tried to take that to court. There was a Vietnam war film in development called Finding Jack which was going to use a CGI recreation of James Dean, who has been dead since 1955. As you can imagine it caused a media firestorm but give them an inch and I guarantee you studios will take a mile. I don't know how any marketing department couldn't anticipate the backlash of digitally recreating actors who both died tragically young in the 1950s, or that it would not come across as anything other than poor taste.

@nessisonett AND Christopher Reeve AND Adam West. Nothing is sacred.

@LN78 Those two examples are bad but I think it’s so much worse considering the effects on George
