Right, but as you know that was part of the background of the series. Amanda and Hoffman both made traps which couldn't be beaten!

Tobin Bell definitely makes the movies better, but I thoroughly enjoyed them all. I hope this one is good!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the ultra convoluted timeline that is Saw It will definitely be enjoyable as something to watch at home, definitely not paying for it in the theaters. I haven't watched anything past Saw 3D back in the early 2010's, although I imagine I'm not missing much and I won't need it for the new one.

I watched Take Shelter for the first time with Michael Shannon.

I remembered seeing the trailers back when it was in theaters that made it seem like a horror film, but it was a letdown.

So his visions eventually became real? At the end his wife sees the first vision he basically had, so does that mean his dog is going to bite him? then friend pickaxe him? then even wife hit him?

What was with the people trying to get him? also the floating furniture?

I don't think I spoiled more or less than would be in a movie trailer.

That's another prb, trailers often reveal too much, so, if I like a movie, I try to avoid everything.

I feel both ways about a trailer. Sometimes it's enough to get you interested and sometimes it's like a condensed version of the movie and reveals too much. I watch them, but sometimes wish I hadn't.

BTW, my daughter saw "Take Shelter" with Michael Shannon. She liked it.

I could only handle so much of the NFL Hall of Fame game and found Gladiator on Amazon Prime, it has stood up well overtime. After seeing the trailer, I suppose that Ridley Scott’s Napoleon will be on the same level.

Not even the 'original' but you're gonna watch part 2 of this 'masterpiece' franchise? LOL /s. Talk about scraping the bottom of the movie barrel.

I don't think the original was all THAT bad. I'd probably give it a 5 out of 10, so middle of the road. I've definitely seen worse. lol

PS - will not waste my time watching 2, though.

Sorry, I'm not up-to-date in my Meg mythology lol.

Ya, he's pretty cool, and neat how he came out of his sidekick roles and became a leading man.
