    Newman had riveting machismo on a string

    Found Newman annoying and unfunny.
    Never bought into his diabolical persona
    Just seemed like an overacting fat man.

    Overacting? In Seinfield? Surely not?

    There should be a rule that if someone mentions in this thread something or someone they hate, that a smartarse (trademark @Bones) doesn't post that very thing/someone...

    I'd agree people look too much into Matrix these days, but at the time I thought it was excellent and original.
    No.
    Yes.
    Yes.
    Haven't watched them.
    Can be.
    Can be.

    If you didn't get joy from headbanging Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World in the 90s then you missed a good time.

    I'm not a huge fan but can appreciate his voice and their unique songs.

    Matrix: First Matrix is great, sequels not so much.
    Squid Game: was fun.
    Dredd: Yes. But don't think it's a hot take or unpopular opinion.
    Queen: Nope. I'd swap in Fleetwood Mac as I personally do not like their music.
    Ace Ventura: Nope.
    Cats: Nope.
    Dogs: When they are it's usually the fault of their owners.

    Matrix 1 is incredible.

    Squid Game was entertaining, but the acting could be laughably bad. The camp American rich dudes were pathetic, both as a storyline and performance.

    Never seen Dredd

    AV 1 is great. AV2 ok only.

    Cats and Dogs both great, I've never understood people who feel they have to choose one against the other (noting you're not doing that)

    I agree. The white dudes were by far the worst thing about Squid Game. Diversity was not a strength in that instance.

    You're trying to say I'd like it?

    Dredd was fucking good. Criminal that Urban hasn't been signed for a sequel, and a more brutal R18 one at that. So much great material and a grim and brutal world to explore. What's not to love!

    Agree re Dredd, much much better than the Stallone shitfest, though my one gripe was over use of the slo-mo to signify the drug usage. Seemed like padding after a while.

    As an aside and nothing whatsoever to do with the thread, Ms Cato No1 has had several stories published in 2000AD, the mag that brought Dredd to the world. Proud Dad moment.
