Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Battleship is one of those games that you play when you are a kid to pass the time. Then you get older and you stop playing and either you have a real life or you start playing D&D. Well this movie might appeal to the kid that loves playing a game like Battleship but if you are an adult get ready to not care......

Hate Watching is the show where we go where no one wishes to go.

I just did a math equation for the first time in years.  I use math when I make stuff sometimes but this was a slightly challenging problem someone posed on Twitter and I thought, lets try.  Well luckily I was able to do it but sadly it reminded me of how much stuff we learn in our lives that never gets used.  Just packed away I the deep recesses of our brains slowly losing potency.  What a great analogy for all of life. Maybe I should get a brain app on my phone. Yeah that will work.  Maybe. Doubt it. Oh well.

Jonah Hex is a comic that even comic book people try to forget. So why make a movie of it?  That is a question that will never be answered. And they didn't even get the character right. Josh Brolin tries and John Malkovich does some stuff which is better forgotten. Oh yeah and Megan Fox is in this mess too.

Hate Watching the Show - a show with hate in the name

Well I had written a whole thing down here and somehow it got lost.  It was all about how we've struggled and worked to put out this show for a year to little or no accolades.  We are ready for our spotlight.  For the adoration. The limos. The Christmas gifts. When is our time in the spotlight. Even 15 minutes would do. Actually 15 minutes is way too short a time. 12-24 months would be better. I think think we deserve that for a years worth of shows. Come on. Please. Ok 1 month? Please.  Ok we will take the 15 minutes.....

It took a long time to get this Independence Day sequel and that time was not spent well.  This movie not surprisingly just sort of rehashes the old movies beats but with a new cast that just can't pull it off.  Will Smith rose to stardom based on the first film but don't expect that of this cast.

Hate Watching is a show that runs over the hour but with the comedy of a show half as long.

Has TV eclipsed the movies?  I think it has.  The TV space just allows for more through storytelling.  We love sitting in our houses absorbing 8 hours of the latest show on Netflix. And TV just so easily travels around the world.  People just fire up their devices and are feeding content into their brains.  That said the movie theatre is not going away.  People still love the experience or the huge movie.  Vin Deisel's face as big as a house. His teeth as big as a washing machine.  Big Vin Big Vin, they all chant as we get just one more fast and furious movie......

Geena Davis' star was on the rise and then she made this.  After that she had to wait around four years until she landed the coveted role of Stuart Little's mom.  Kind of sad but not surprising because this movie did no one any favors.  It is bad from top to bottom.

Hate Watching is a show where to unqualified dopes give their unqualified opinions about movies that most people have done their best to forget.

Well, well, well. Its that time of the week where I write my little thing.  I complain about the world and then try to find some part of the world that is working that counteracts the disfunction that we suffer through.  Today that thing is LICORICE.  What a strange word but what a wonderful candy.  Basically it is just delicious gummy sugar.  I am partial to the red flavors but have enjoyed weird flavors like apple in the past.  It would be fun to make it.  But ive never really made any candy.  Mostly I used to bake. I don't bake as much anymore because I like to eat what I bake.  Really like to eat it.  Uh oh here comes the horrible world intruding back not he fun.  Think licorice, licorice, licorice.  Thats betters.

Well Robert Downey Jr. has made some great films and now with all the power he has in Hollywood, he made this sinking ship.  It's bad and he is bad, really, really bad.  The only good news is that they won't make a sequel, right? (ps Venom sequel in theaters soon)

Hate Watching is the show about how two guys hate their lives so they watch movies they know they are gonna hate.

Dust - shall we talk about dust - is it all just specks of human skin? is that what we are always breathing in - are our lungs just dead dry human skin filters - that is a horrific thought - I'm not sure where I am at today but it just be a terrible place if that is where I'm going - I can hear the trash truck in the distance - collecting bags of reefs to be delivered to a giant mountain of garbage - the debris of human existence is a psychic drain on your mind when you think to long about it - maybe I was better thinking about dust.

Ghostbuster 2016 is a movie that almost ended our partnership on Hate Watching, definitely ended our friendship, and caused Dan to age 11 years even though he only had 9 more to live. Tony loves it, Dan hates it, the world ignored it. Sounds like the perfect movie to Hate Watch!

Hey Micheal Bay, just stop.  Why did you need to make this pile of trash? TMNT is the comfort food of entertainment franchises. Just let it be that. Don't try to refigure it out. Well as you might have guessed we didn't like this movie.

Hate Watching is a show where we talk about how "filmmakers" try to destroy childhoods.
Ps - sorry for the messed up sound....

Well summer is here. June gloom is here also. It is a nice thing in California right before it gets hot.  They are days that are almost like Fall but they are not.  Drizzle and gray clouds. Isn't weather amazing. We get to experience it and all it glory. But we still sit in rooms lit by electrical lights which illuminate rooms that are filled with screens feeding us entertainment.  Go out - see the sun - get a tan. or not.....

This one has a couple of interesting and upcoming stars but the rest is kind of a jumble.  Once again, an action movie without much action. But the guy who played Billy from Stranger Things is the star and he is charismatic enough to carry the thing. I know you're asking WHERE'S THE HATE, sadly this movie was not terrible....

Hate Watching is the show where Tony talks about all his man crushes and Dan just has to sit through it.

Well here comes summer - expect packed beaches and packed movie theaters.  Life is heading right back to normal but I'm still staying in my cave.  It is safe here.  The scary world is still scary.  I'm gonna hide in here. Until I'm forced out. Forced to interact with the world.  I wasn't good at it before and I've not gotten in better.  At least there will be comic shows....

If you are wondering what a Mortal Kombat movie would look like without Mortal Kombat, then this is the movie for you. The promise of the first fight scene is sadly thrown away with lots of characters and set ups that don't go anywhere.  Kano is great, Scorpion and Sub-zero are fun but not much else......

Hate Watching is the show that is like a step-brother, you wish he didn't exist because he is kind of a dick.

Well this week I discovered Tiktok.  It is a crazy thing. So much content, so short and so odd.  I think it is the ultimate thing for people with the attention spans of gnats.  I think that is what we are all becoming, if something is longer than 15 seconds, we get bored (just try to make it though all 2 1/2 hours of Army of the Dead without looking at your phone).  Is a 90 minute movie gonna be too long soon?  I don't know but if you made it this far in my rant, congrats, now go see if anyone liked your latest pic on Insta.

Space Jam is  a cultural touchstone but sadly not a great movie.  MJ is MJ. Bugs is Bugs. And there is a plot of sorts.  But this movie is envisioned a certain urban culture that is still going strong today.  So an interesting one to look at today and try to figure out what happened.

Hate Watching is the only movie show that dares to be so long as to alienate it's core viewer base.

Do cellphones make our lives better?  Well they make them more convenient. and certainly they have saved lives, made people lots of money and make it easier when our cars break down.  But they also act as a tether to the immediacy of life.  It is hard to get away from checking the phone, looking at instagram or ordering Postmates.  But there is a cost, our attention spans are fleeting, our memories unused and time so wasted on the morst of wasteful of things like Tiktok. But dammit, I need that connection.  I can't live without it. Until I do, then just as fast I forget how powerful that drug is.....
