I think the 1951 adaptation of Dickens's A Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim is worth a watch during the holidays. The original British release was titled "Scrooge" but it was released in the US as "A Christmas Carol" so keep that in mind if you go looking for it.

Same here. I didn’t realize Dan Trachtenberg also did 10 Cloverfield Lane before Prey. Both films were the strongest sequels in their respective series so I’m willing to checkout anything this guy makes.

It’s “kid gloves.” It refers to gloves made of kid leather, the skin of a young goat. Not a child’s glove.

Studio 60 wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it. I'm still annoyed to this day that it didn't get renewed for a second season. I think it was just beginning to find its footing but hey, those are the breaks.
It debuted during the same TV season and on the same network as 30 Rock and while they were both very different approaches to the same concept the premises were similar enough that it always felt like one of them was doomed to be a single season affair. NBC was throwing both at the wall and seeing which stuck. Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey's comedy just won out over Sorkin's dramedy in the end.
It's well worth some downtime, Lemmy 0.19 is a major QoL upgrade. Thanks for giving us some advanced notice though!
There's actually a simple explanation for that. Much like the "conservative/christian entertainment" industry the alt-tech movement is primarily composed of failures and hacks who couldn't cut it in the mainstream field.
I’ve gotta say I’m looking forward to this one. I went into the first expecting schlock considering the last time Gerard Butler did a disaster movie we got the god awful Geostorm (2017). And while Greenland didn’t exactly reinvent the disaster genre it did some interesting things along the way. It’s probably the best (non-animated) film Gerard Butler’s done since Law Abiding Citizen in 2009.
