Perhaps wait until you actually see the movie before drawing conclusions?
You can watch the entire movie for free at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMq-L_OTWBU .
Well, that YouTube video seemed to show some of the video from the film (though weirdly in slow motion) but the audio sounded like a computer-generated voice reading the Wikipedia article on the film. So again, it’s not actually watching the movie. But that must be what passes for film watching these days.
If you’re going to be that way about it, now I’m not gonna.
My apologies. I didn’t watch anything beyond the first minute or so. I assumed that it was gong to be the entire film. That was very sloppy on my part.
I watched Mars Attacks! Well, that was weird. I was impressed by the all-star cast. Nicholson really reminded me of Trump at times. It was decent.
Then I had a nightmare, inspired by SJP’s hair. 
Nah, the expulsion threats (technically enforceable due to sneaking off campus without leave I guess?) started after the suicide.
As in, “Shit got real, your contrariness led to real-world tragic consequences, you will be cast out”, which from an authoritarian despot’s point of view is a logical argument.

I’d never heard a single song or seen a single moment of this movie or musical. I heard we can rent Part 2 on Tuesday, so we finally watched the first one.
Yeah, that was well done. Beautiful to look at and with some pretty good songs, though none that I think I’ll find myself thinking much about later.
We enjoyed it. Good movie and good musical. We will watch part 2 in a couple days.
Just want to add that I’ve finished Fackham Hall and my opinion remains the same – it’s an inconsequential but harmless little comedy with some mild humour and occasional laughs. But if you do watch it, by all means watch the credits, which contain references back to the events and characters in the movie. Most of them don’t mean anything without the context of the movie, but I just have to quote this one and leave it to your imagination to deduce what it refers back to: 
Upon reading “The Hobbit”, convicted donkey-fucker Bill Bobaggins sued the writer J.R.R. Tolkien for tarnishing his good name.
All during football they keep pushing the trailer for Greenland 2’; Electric Migration. Which alerted me to the fact I completely missed Greenland 1. Not only did I never see it, I never heard of it.
Did anyone watch it? Was it as stupid as the wikipedia plot summary makes it sound?
For some reason we all liked Greenland. I mean, it’s a silly film in many ways, but it delivers some excitement.
I saw Marty Supreme tonight. I liked most of it except for the ending, which I thought was cliched and sappy. The movie was full of chaos and lunacy, which I found very entertaining. I wouldn’t want to be within five miles of most of the characters, but they’re interesting to watch.
Nuremberg (2025). A retelling of the 1961 film Judgement at Nuremberg. A powerful film dominated by a fine performance by Russell Crowe as Hermann Goring. Rami Malek plays US Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley. If the film is historically accurate, once he returned home Kelley was criticized for “trashing America” when he warned of the risk of authoritarianism because there are evil people everywhere who seek only power. The book he wrote about his experiences was a failure and Kelley fell into depression, committing suicide a decade after the events at Nuremberg.
I haven’t seen Nuremberg, but I have seen Judgement at Nuremberg. From the clips of the former I don’t think it’s a retelling of the latter. Herman Goring never came anywhere near the latter film. It was about judges who follow Nazi orders and not the big show of the prosecution of the big wigs.

Hammer Films! I haven’t seen them since childhood.
Dracula is one of their better efforts. This is the first film in the Hammer series.
I recommend it with the caveat that they’re slow paced by todays standards.
I also saw Marty Supreme yesterday, and agree with your assessment (but I liked the ending more than you). There aren’t any likable characters – I was mostly rooting for the dog. Timothee Chalamet will get another Oscar nom. The biggest surprise was that Kevin O’Leary – of Shark Tank fame – has a big part and carries it off perfectly well.
My favorite part of going to the movies is the trailers. Coming soon:
Wuthering Heights (starring Margo Robbie). My reaction was “Really? We’re doing gothic romances again?” But this is from the director of Saltburn, so it’ll be a raunchy gothic romance.
How to Make a Killing. Glen Powell has to murder 7 relatives so he can inherit the family fortune. If this sounds like Kind Hearts and Coronets: Imdb calls it “loosely based on…”. Except Alec Guinness doesn’t play all 7 victims.
Disclosure Day. Stephen Spielberg. It might have something to do with aliens. And deer.
I watched Room for One More (1952 - Cary Grant & Betsy Drake.) A very sweet, heartwarming movie. I love Cary Grant, especially in this type of movie.
It’s also vastly changed from Stoker’s novel (or the stage play, or the 1931 movie). Hammer either wanted to forge their own path, or were warned by Universal not to do straight remakes, because all of the Hammer Horror films – Frankenstein, Dracula, mummy, Phantom of the Opera, deviate significantly from the Universal versions. Jonathan Harker doesn’t have to travel so very far to Dracula’s castle – it’s a land journey. He’s deliberately looking for a vampire. And he never leaves Dracula’s castle, getting turned into a vampire himself (the first time that happens, but by no means the last in Dracula movies). Also it’s the first adaptation of Dracula in which he gets destroyed by sunlight (although “Armand Tesla” – played by Bela Lugosi – dissolved under sun;ight in Columbia’s Return of the Vampire, and John Carradine as Dracula had dissolved thus twice – in House of Frankenstein and Hiouse of Dracula. And Lon Chaney Jr. bought it from exposure to sunlight in Son of Dracula0
You’re right. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Judgement at Nurenberg. Apparently Nuremberg (the 2025 film) may have been the first film about the prosecution of the 22 accused Nazi war criminals, of which Goring was the most senior. There was a TV miniseries in 2000 called “Nuremberg” on the same subject, but that wasn’t a movie.
Lee’s initial Dracula is slow for those day’s standards. I felt like Ian Malcolm and wanted to say, “Uh, is there going to be any vampiring in this vampire movie?”
