2025 Movies and TV Shows

[Wolf]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the most popular version of these 3 are the remakes.

Those remakes are better than the originals.

Remakes Better than the Originals

There are other original films still better than the remake. I can't think of some right now. Hollywood struggles to capture the magic of the original, often due to a lack of originality or failing to improve upon the source material. But remakes can sometimes improve upon the original, especially by modernizing the story or visual elements.

10 Original Movies That Are So Much Better Than the Remake


Instead of doing a original, they try to redo the story as sequel as for an example.

Superman -> Superman Returns
Mary Poppins -> Mary Poppins Returns
Twister -> Twisters

I have gotten hooked on "Wednesday" on Netflix. I got curious of it by a poster at the airport while waiting for my luggage. It was one of the rotating adds above the conveyor belt. I simply said "Vengeance is her carry on" and a note it was on Netflix. I saw the preview on Netflix and decided to try 1 episode. I am hooked. I have watched 4 of them. It is directed by Tim Burton and it has his fingerprints all over it. It really isn't my style but I like it anyways.

It is based on the Adams family but that doesn't mean much to me since I never really watched the TV show. I think I saw at least 1 of the movies.

Season 2 of this show is 2025. Season 1 came out in 2022.

We started rewatching season 1 to get a refresher on what happened before we start season 2.

Its a good show.

 

[scotchandcigar]

A lot of people watch/recommend it.

Funny because it's true.

Finished season 1. I guessed 1/2 right. I knew the teacher lady was involved. Did not guess the Hyde.

My niece really likes it. I got her a Wednesday Chia Pet one Christmas

Netflix also obtained a Max Original from 2020 "LoveLife" with Anna Kendrick. It might be the first ever Max production. I remember I had to watch it on my laptop because Max did not have an agreement with Roku and I never checked before subscribing. I was disappointed now I watch as many streaming shows from my phone on the go then I do with the tv at home

Genre popularity over time. No real big surprises. Westerns and Musicals hit big declines. Horror and Documentaries got really popular.

My son wanted me to watch another Japanime (Japanese animation, he hates that word though) and suggested Psycho Pass. In the first episode a woman is abducted and raped, then almost killed by police (because she's unstable and therefore a threat to society). I told him I'm not sure if I want to watch this series. He said it starts rough but then becomes more story and less violence. About six episodes in I told him I don't want to watch it anymore. A girl is kidnapping other girls, infusing them with a chemical that slowly turns their skin into plastic (they die slowly as it happens). When a girl goes to the (secretly a) killer to say she's concerned about her missing friend, that person knocks her out and ties her up. She wakes in front of her friend submerged in the chemical and learns she will be the next victim after her friend. The next morning I woke up with that image in my head. I've thought about it a few times since. Told my son I have to bail on it. I can't take stories of people enjoying the suffering of others.

Well musicals will be making a comeback next month as our next DRC Madness #37: Movie Musicals.

Your son enjoys this? It sounds very creepy.

 

[HecticArt]

Creepy is one thing, but disturbing is another.

Sounds like something like 'Saw' turned up to 11. I can get into horror, but not blatant slasher flicks. Horror has to meet certain criteria for me. It has to include an actor (or actors) I know and like. (Ex. Jack Nicholson in the Shining, Morgan Freeman/Brad Pitt in Se7en) or a director I like (Stanley Kubrick with the Shining) and it has to have a plot which applies to my previous examples also.

I'm used to watching fucked up shit. Hell Koop was the one introducing us to Human Centipede, which is still fucked up. Having your mouth sewed up to someone ass. This being animation, I probably won't watch it.

 

[sadchild]

It was only occasionally graphic, and not gory at all. The rape scene only showed a shoulder and had the noises. The people turned to plastic showed them in poses with flowers and stuff (the killer wants them to be works of art), no blood and guts. The girl who was knocked out and woke up next to her friend, there was no gore, but her friend was in a big glass container of the chemical. It's more of a mindfuck than 'gross'. But that mindfuck is too much for me.

 

[Wolf]

That show sounds really fucked up and why would someone create that type of garbage.
