Southern Comfort 7.5/10
Solid, easy to watch film from the early 80's about a group of Louisiana national guardsmen who are hunted down by Cajuns looking to kill them. Based on when it came out, it seems like an obvious allegory to Vietnam. But I've always found it entertaining in a Warriors-type way. I first saw it on Fritz the Night Owl's Night Owl Theatre when I was a kid.

Watched the documentary “My Octopus Teacher” and it was great. Almost need a new thread for strictly documentaries.

Chernobyl miniseries on HBO. Outstanding telling of the disaster, it's causes, how it was handled and the human toll. Highly recommended.

Jared Harris was so good!
Yeah, he was great. The guy from the Central Committee was great too. Very well produced.

my son is deep into the monsterverse. so we've been watching different movies in that series for the last few weeks:
Kong: Skull Island - 7/10
Godzilla: King of the Monsters - 8/10
Godzilla vs Kong - 7/10
Next week we watch Godzilla. It's a mindless watch but it's hilarious watching my son and daughter going back and forth about which monster is the best and all that.

The Terminator - 9/10
A great classic. I never got into any of the sequels. But Arnold was so cool in that first film.

Whoa whoa whoa, T2 defines what an action movie is! I’m a Godfather II guy, it T2 is all time sequel stuff.
T2 was okay. The liquid metal guy was cool. Arnold being "good" was not good. Sarah Conner was a very annoying character.

You may be the first person I’ve ever met/heard of who doesn’t think it’s at least on par with 1. And one of the top-10 action movies ever. Arnold you didn’t even know was good. That reveal was groundbreaking.
It was good, but I just liked the first one the most. It's probably the ages I was when they came out - 14 for the first one, 21 for the second.

This is the shittiest take I have seen in quite a while.
Thank you. I'm proud to have achieved this.
Seriously, I didn't mean to sound like I hated T2. For me, it the first one was the best because it was all new.

Didn't watch and don't agree.
Now we just need someone who watched and doesn't agree to cover all bases.
I watched Dredd (2012) last night. Fun movie, a 7 or 8.
