Nit-pick, nit-pick! Who cares! The only reason they seem to look bad is because of newer high-def TVs that go into more detail. I am wondering if there is a way that those films could be processed so they look better in high def. Unfortunately, not for the next four years. Maybe in 2028. Oh, I am like your screen name - a film buff. Do I know everything about film? Not hardly, but I know what I like and have some knowledge. And this is hardly an art house film with a "4" tacked on to its title. Art house films I have seen include "The Scent of Green Papaya", "Requiem for a Dream" (which I will NEVER watch again!), "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Yes, that is considered art house, and "Where the Wild Things Are", among others. (By the way, in case you think I am some snot-nosed movie fan, I am 73 as of this writing. Oh, and yes, I watch all kinds of films from "art house" to heart tugging dramas to "superheroes" to gory "horror". I don't believe anyone can call themselves a film aficionado if they limit what they watch to "Transformers" or even worse, they don't watch anything older than they are) C'mon! The shark was actually targeting the family for revenge? How could it have known that Brody's wife had anything to do with the killing of the other three sharks? Well, considering that the film was made for television ANF that the story was told mostly from the detective's perspective, I felt that it was excellent. I agree completely. Not much different than the somewhat national obsession with serial killers. The producers of "No Time to Die" shot themselves in the foot when they killed off Bond. How can they believably bring him back? (And don't suggest "The Multiverse") 😖 Nope. No President has that much power. She also picked up a TANK in the first movie. Christmas shopping with my parents when I was a kid was fun. I miss the warm winter nights of going to the local stores and just walking through the malls window shopping. Now, not so much. It has become too long, starting in October for Pete's sake! For me, ever since I was a kid, the Christmas season always starts on Thanksgiving Day and ends on New Year's Day. I assume you have seen it completely. I love the "Grumpy Old Men" movies! A great comedic swan song of two legendary actors. Never cared for the gimmick of 3D. Give me a good story every time. Maybe because they inhabited the house? Personally, I think that taking time off to be the Governor of California started it. Out of the movie audience vision. I believe that what continued the fall was his infidelity when he was Governor. A lot of people (me and my wife included) lost a lot of respect for him. Absolutely. You are welcome
