Yeah this was Kevin Spacey's last big movie and wow that is one way to go out.  This movie is supposed to be for his but it does not hit that mark. It is just kind of cruel and gross and never really hits any marks.  But what would you expect for Mr Spacey, he is not really Mr Warmth....

Hate Watching is a show where we make sure no one forgets how terrible some movies are.

Awards shows...they used to be a thing but more and more, no one cares.  For good reason.  The mediascape is so wide ranging, you can just go out there and find what you like.  The Witcher is a good example of this.  People love it.  I got bored after one episode.  Should it be destroyed and then off the air?  No.  It is made for a certain specific audience that likes it.  The rest of us should just F*** off and go find something made for us.  That said, the Witcher is silly and his wig is dopey.  I hope that is a wig, is it's Henry's really hair, ouch.

Chaos Walking was one of those movies that took a long time to make and then once it was shot everyone knew it was terrible.  So they kept messing with it and messing with it and eventually they gave up and just released it, warts and all.  And this thing is covered in warts. It is painful to watch.

Hate Watching is a show where two guys talk to much about movies that people just want were never made.

As we slowly emerge from our self-made coronavirus exile back into the world, you have to wonder if we have changed.  Has all the Zoom exposure, altered our psychic DNA?  Are we more evolved or has there been a devolvement? Are we not men? Are we DEVO?  Only time will tell. Hopefully we have improved. Chances are we are exactly the same. But you have to hope.....

New design and new friendlier Hate Watching.  Tony tries to get Dan to think a great movie is bad but as you might have guessed Dan gets Tony to come around to loving Twilight as much as he does.  Its a good and I am not just talking about Twilight!

Hate Watching is a show where we watch great movies and gush about them.

What is the next big thing?  I don't know.  Big things come out of nowhere.  They just evolve in the media space.  Sometimes things come and go without fanfare and then take years to be discovered.  Nightmare before Christmas was a bit of a flop at the box office and now it is known as the amazing film that was apparent to those of us in the know. Some things make lots of money then later we realize that no one really cared.......the group mind makes decisions, sometimes right sometimes wrong.......

Oh Venom, you were a terrible comic character and we should not be surprised that your movie was also terrible.  Tom Hardy sort of tries but not really. The fight scenes are silly.  Maybe as a 12 year old, this might have been good but it is not. Tonight the Spiderverse cries.

Have Watching is a show that routinely runs over an hour.

Tony starts with a story about a can opener which is more entertaining than anything in Boss Level. This movie is so thin that I had forgotten I had even watched it the day after I did watch it. So basically we hated it, no surprise. And a big waste of Mel Gibson, if you didn't think his career is over, this movies proves it. And then there is Ken Jeong, oh man, this movie is a sad testament to where his career has cratered.

Hate Watching is a show that goes to places that no one else wants to go. And for longer than anyone cares to listen.

Is streaming going to kill the movie theatre?  It may have already.  Still I think there is the need for the movie theater experience.  Sitting all together and hearing that laughter or other human responses to what is happening on the screen.  To see those human face blown up to a scale that is monolithic.  People still pay for that in person experience.  There are no lack of lines at Disneyland and other themed experiences. Who knows what the future holds but one thing I do know is that the newspaper comic is pretty much dead and never coming back. Things change and we get used to it.

In this one we actually give a fairly well thought out review of Cloud Atlas. It is a pretty good movie that just never came together but should be commended for what it tries to do.  Ugh, back to some real dislike of movies in our next episode.

Hate Watching is supposed to be a show where we make fun of bad movies but sometimes we miss the mark.

The Wachowski's changed cinema with the Matrix.  They keep trying to have another defining film by moving in a thousand different directions and sadly it has not really worked out too great.  This movie is kind of campy fun but it never really comes tougher and that is sad because there is some good stuff hiding away in a movie that is too noisy a lot of the time and and can't quite hit the quiet moments. Oh well......

Hate Watching is a show that sometimes verges on movie reviews when we are not careful.

The Trilogy.  As a kid we loved it. We fall in love with a movie and then they make 2 more and rake in the big cash.  Most of the time we get to that third movie and we realize that the initial idea really didn't need to be revisited that third time (remember the Ewoks).  Some franchises start and then keep going to varying levels of success (think Alien vs Aliens). Now we are sitting here waiting for 3-5 more Avatar movies.  Is there a hunger for these movies?  Who knows. But we may find out.  Zack Snyder envisioned a whole bunch more JLA movies and he is never gonna get them because Joss Whedon stepped in and made a garbage movie.  What's my point?  Like I have a point.  I guess it is that sometimes more is just more......

The comedy of Adam Sandler once ruled at the box office.  Now they go to him because he has nothing better to do.  Pixels is one of those weak Frankensteined movies with a lot of pop culture stuff thrown in to try to signal that this movie is fun when in reality it is a thin bore of a time. And we also have some bad stuff to say about every other aspect o this movie.  

Hate Watching is the show that no one asked for but we keep on making it.

Double Dragon is a movie that was judged way too harshly for the light, silly romp that it is.  It's a kids movie that people expected to be dark brooding exciting action movie. Don't get us wrong, this is no citizen Kane but it is fun. So we have some nice stuff to say about this one.

Hate Watching is a show where we occasionally enjoy the movies we watch but most of the time we are here to savage Hollywood garbage.

In week two of our month of video game movies we tackle the rightly forgotten flick Wing Commander. Be warned, Tony loves Freddie Prinze Jr.  Tony tries his best to make this movie seem okay.  It is sad. Feel sorry for Tony.

Hate Watching is a show where we watch the movies that you shouldn't and then report back that you shouldn't watch them.
