Fountain of Youth looks horrific. But it's Halpert and Portman on an Indiana Jones type deal, so I'm still gonna watch it. 

Portman has not aged well.

I made it all the way thru FoY.   It is so over the top it’s basically like Naked Gun, minus the comedy.  

It was like a spoof of the genre, without jokes. Really weird movie. Absolutely terrible.

Did anyone notice that the ending of Fountain of Youth 

Spoiler

... was a direct and complete ripoff of The Last Crusade? Jim Halpert was shot so that he would need the healing powers of the fountain. Then the main bad guy tries it out and ages really rapidly for about 15 seconds before exploding. Then they leave without the McGuffin, but yet somehow wiser.

Yeesh, sounds like Fountain of Youth is simply there to pad the content library. 

I assume it's like The Gorge - if it got a hot reception and following, it could spawn a franchise for them.

Instead, it was just a waste of money that they can easily afford.

Oh, for sure. It is fascinating that so far, the majority of the TV shows are pretty darn good, but the movies have had a harder time finding pop culture success.

From what I recall, the ones they did release theatrically had horrible box office numbers, so they shifted their future movies to streaming only via Apple TV+

At least they're not doing the HBO thing where they shelf the finished project as a tax write-off.  I will give Apple credit for still releasing them, even if they get panned as bad.

Found out Disney did this to TOGO which was a damn good movie. Gone forever.

Huh?  She looks terrific for 43.  Not everyone ages like frozen in time Beckinsale.

I don’t understand what apple is doing. Throwing lots of money at content with good production quality but the writing is just WTF on their shit. Especially on their movies. They are so closing to doing something great but it always seems to fall short

Could be that they got stuck in a production deal where they were contractually obligated to take on certain projects to get other projects.  Netflix had this problem with I want to say DreamWorks and a couple of other companies where said companies could just pump out whatever and Netflix had to accept it.

Well-written and tightly edited.  Just a fantastic movie.

Just talking Apple TV movies, by far the best.

While looking for something to watch last night came across this, which is from 2022

 

it’s 4 1 hour episodes, watched 2 so far and have enjoyed.   I can’t believe I’d never heard about this (show and the story) before now.

I watched the first 3 eps of Stick last night. It’s exactly what you’d expect. 

Ted Lasso on the golf course?

lol FoY was pretty bad…

It was lazy Indiana Jones meets National Treasure meets The Mummy, but removing the good writing and creativity and for some reason removing Guy Ritchie dialogue…

When you consider the people involved, it might literally be the worst movie I've ever seen. I can't believe they filmed that script.

A less likable version so far but it’s feel good. I liked it

Plus Judy Greer in anything rocks

How many more years can she play "40 something but still attractive bored out of her mind wife/ex-wife with a going nowhere man child husband circling the drain"?

owen's character isn't nearly as likable as ted.  more like tin cup as a wannabe golf coach. the mom has a great rack though.

I didn’t get Roy McAvoy vibes at all (Jesus that’s been 30 years!) we just got Owen playing his same only character.  We endured the suckage about 15 minutes and bailed.

Judy Greer would never be wed to fuckup like Owen Wilson.  So talented and so underutilized combined with great tits.

Fucking Humans!  

also try Your Friends & Neighbors

 

Just finished Your Friends & Neighbors. Watched all the episodes in 1 day.

Wasn’t bad…solid 7, probably an 8 overall.

Tried to start Murderbot last night and it was so bad I only made it 10 minutes before stopping. It was one of those awkward shows/movies that you think is supposed to be funny but I couldn’t find a single line worth even snickering at. Not sure if it’s actually that bad or if I didn’t give it enough time or if I’m not the target audience. Oh well.

Switched to Friends and Neighbors instead and wife and I both enjoyed the first episode. We were reluctant to start it because the trailer looked like generic cheese, but it was better than expected.

We’ve also watched a few episodes of Carême and we’re liking it okay.

Fountain of Youth:

  • Our team is bankrolled by a famous mega billionaire who is spending millions to raise the Lusitania
  • Also, we are using $20 Baofeng radios from Amazon for super secret communications

This is me with a lot of Netflix shows - it'll pop up in the past viewed/watch it again whatever part of the screen, and I'm like "I watched that?"

3 episodes is enough to have me pot committed, so I'm probably in for the long haul on Stick. It's insanely embellished and unbelievable but Owen Wilson keeps it funny and as already mentioned; Mom is fucking hot.

She starts in Club de Cuervos on Netflix.

She's 47, so she's in my wheelhouse.

That’s where I seen her first too. She did great.

never saw her again until a man called Otto. Which she was great in too. 
 

47. Would have never guessed. She looks damn good

I liked the pilot, but here we go again Lasso heads. Extremely positive coach haunted by some dark shit in his past. 
 

Spoiler

The dead kid is a pretty tough hang for a Lasso/Tin Cup remake. Is losing a kid and then becoming a surrogate father a more interesting story than party animal loses his golf career and seeks a second chance via coaching? I’d argue it doesn’t really matter with this cast.
 

I enjoyed Season 1 of Lasso, but I bailed during Season 2 when it went dark with Ted’s mental health struggles. I hope Stick threads the needle better.

The real question about Judy Greer is how much of her own personality and life experiences make up her greatest character, Cheryl Tunt?
