LOL, definitely not. It had an evil corp where 3 out of 4 employee characters are actually on the good side. Their plot was giant locusts destroying the world that can only be stopped by a not quite cloned girl. Nothing to do with dinos.

I also saw Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) the other night. It's supposed to be the best western ever, but it just felt kind of cartoonish and dumb, and uncomfortably rape-y. I didn't hate it, but it didn't feel like IMDB 8.5 material. Sure, it was visually interesting, and the score was great, but I guess I'm not a sophisticated enough filmgoer to appreciate its charms.
When I create links the site keeps putting the URL in the link text. Am I doing something wrong?

There, FTFY
I hold up Silverado as everything great about Westerns and damn near everything you WANT to see in a Western distilled into a single viewing experience.

Agreed. This and The Wild Bunch are my picks for best Western.
Also, the opening scene of Once Upon a Time in the West is amazing.

Saw Thor: Love and Thunder on the weekend. I know it is getting mixed reviews but it is probably my second favourite Phase 4 movie after Spiderman (and possibly may hold up better in the long run than that). It is stupid dumb fun, taking away all the seriousness and pretentiousness of superhero movies and just having fun with the concept of a big dumb powerful guy. It is like a parody of Thor, similar in tone to Sergio Aragones "Groo" comics. Don't expect a think piece, expect dumb fun and hopefully you will have it.

We watched Old, the newest M. Night Shyamalan movie. It was fine. Genuinely weird. I was interested in the twist. It was/wasn't the one I was expecting. Entertaining enough if you like his movies. Towards the bottom of the list, but far better than The Nothing is Happening and Signs.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is probably the best Western, but since that's not how we're playing this game, I will say shame on all of you for not even mentioning what is actually the greatest Western of all time: Rio Bravo.
I'm sad to say I haven't seen Once Upon a Time in the West. I think I'll remedy that this weekend.

I have never been a big fan of James Bond, and only saw one of these movies in the theater (The Spy Who Loved Me). So I hadn't even seen some of these movies before. Based on the ones that I have seen before, I am dreading the Dalton movies and looking forward to Goldeneye and the Craig movies.
Yeah you are def at the low point of the franchise; an aging Roger Moore followed by Timothy Dalton's too short and too serious stint.

It’s inessential but well crafted. There are no weak performances and engaging throughout. Worst part is probably the pun of the title.
Could be a solid little play as there are only nine parts and a single set.
