Caught «Still», the new documentary about Michael J.Fox and his battle with Parkinson's Disease on Apple TV at the weekend. Highly recommended.

finished watching the rest of Suicide Squad 2021. Not bad but they didnt do a good job with Starro where all they did was use him/it as a giant monster attacking the city and that was it.

That and the King Shark character being just a big dumb shark humanoid

This week I'm watching Postcards from the Edge, Sleeping with the Enemy and the Last Airbender live action movie

«Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves» is a film that I remembered being significantly better than it really is. I bought the recent 4K special edition from Arrow Video with some degree of nostalgic anticipation and was disappointed to discover that, Alan Rickman's magnificent performance aside, the movie is actually pretty dire. It's a very nice boxset, though, so not a total loss.

@LN78 Got the same special edition, but have yet to watch it. I too remember it fondly from back in the day, but I will now lower my expectations before going in for a rewatch

@FuriousMachine In my mind's eye, I had it somewhere in the just below «Temple of Doom» category along with stuff like «The Rocketeer» and the first Brendan Fraser «Mummy» flick but it's nowhere near as entertaining as either of those. I think I'd just forgotten/blanked out what a complete non-entity Costner's central performance is. Word to the wise — watch it with the original stereo sound mix because the surround track is pretty lousy.

@LN78 Yeah, that's pretty much where it sits in my brain's nostalgia-lobe (real medical name, I promise), too. Sad to hear that they botched the surround track, I feel kinda cheated if I can't utilize my surround
