Mild and utterly forgettable


As shallow as latte culture. Not worth the bandwidth.

yeah, I couldn't make it through it.

they just pop out any old crap now, and people stare mindlessly at the colorful moving pictures.

so.... quantity over quality now. It's the new norm and nobody knows any better, and it won't change.
While on the other hand, they whine and pine for "80s movies" or whatever, when it is obvious what the difference is between those and the new $#!t piles.

It's not all shit of course but they do make tons of crap for the Netflix crowd. As empty as the calories in a bag of Doritos. 6 underground, Extraction, The old guard, 12 strong and what have you. So far I managed to avoid most of them. This Rogen vehicle was probably something else, a vanity project or something but it veered off into oblivion.

Guess I'll be reading metacritic some more beforehand in the future.

I thought it was funny. It doesn't ask any more than your mild attention. Don't like it? Don't watch it.
