Mike and Kelsey’s Worst Movie Theater Experiences + Movie Review: Cheaper By the Dozen (Disney+)  Trailer Park: Where The Crawdads Sing

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I am your host Movie Mike, joined this week by my co host and wife, Kelsey. How are you. I'm great. You already talk about some bad movies. Yes, we're gonna get into our worst theater experiences that we ever had. Will also do a movie review of the new Cheaper by the Dozen movie on Disney Plus. And in the Trailer Park we'll be talking about a book being turned into a movie and I think I'm gonna need your expertise on this one. Thanks for being subscribed and listening every single week. Shout out to the Monday Movie Crew. Wait, before we talk movies, can we talk about the fact that the Monday Movie Crew helped you reach a million downloads? Yes, we are at a million downloads now, appreciate everybody for making that happen. Pretty big milestone for this podcast. It's huge, So thank you as we all reached that together. Whether you've listened to one of these episodes or every single one from the very beginning, my biggest thank you to you. Now we'll talk movies. Yes, all right, let's go in a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. One man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like walking on him. Davie with classes from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Movie podcacast. All right, let's get into the worst movie theater experiences we've ever had. Now, it's not just the overall worst movie we've ever seen in her life, because I think there's a little bit of a difference when you go and pay your money to watch something and leave disappointed. I think the different movies I'm going to talk about have different levels of disappointment. And I'll get into my first one now is from twenty nineteen. And the reason I was so disappointed by this movie is because it had the best premise, And I'm like, how are you going to ruin this premise because it's already great? And the movie is called Yesterday and it's about this guy gets struck by lightning. The entire world changes, and all of a sudden, he's the only person who can remember the music of the Beatles, so he used that to his advantage and makes all this music and becomes famous for it. I was like, how could you screw up that movie. I thought it was great. I was so excited to see it, and very few times I get tricked by a trailer. And I was tricked because within twenty minutes I knew that that movie took that premise and just disguise like a really f D level romantic comedy, and just it was so disappointing to me because I was so excited about that. But it had the iconic edge sheer and cameo, Oh my gosh, it'll get me starting on the edge here. And if my friend Ali was listening to this podcast, we went to see that together and I talked about that cameo for a week because it was funny. I'm sorry that hey, hey Jude should be Hey dude was kiss of a line. The thing that got me about the edge here and the whole his whole character in that was so cheesy and he's not an actor, and I get while you put him in that movie, but that whole scene where they had like that showdown of like who could crank out the better song, it's pretty funny to me too. But when I go see him movie, like sometimes sometimes stupid humor in comedy like that is the kind of stupid humor and we'll get into stupid humor that doesn't interest me. Yes, but for me, I wasn't expecting to it from that movie, so I was completely let down. The thing about this movie, some people actually really enjoyed it. When I posted about this, people are like, I love that movie. You're crazy for thinking that. So you can see. That's why we come on here and talk about movies, because I can watch one thing and have one completely different opinion and we can both be not wrong. But that's why I feel like that was my worst theater experience because I wanted to leave, and it's very few often times that I want to leave a movie, and I was like, I can't sit through the rest of this, But that is my worst experience in a movie theater. What is yours? Let's talk about the time I took my sweet, sweet, sweet grandmother Mimi to see Talladig and It's the Ballot of Ricky Bobby. It's always a risky move when you take either parents or grandparents to go see a comedy because they'll probably be something, if not nudity, some kind of dirty joke, or just some uncomfortable situation that you don't want to experience with that. What year did that movie come out? The movie came out in two thousand and six. Okay, I was also only twelve. I probably shouldn't even have been seeing That's true. You probably should truss seeing that with Mimi. Yes, for Mimi, it was so bad that we contemplated getting up and walking out. I don't think we did, because I think by the time we decided to walk out, it was too far into the movie. But yeah, to this day, with my grandmother's sweet Mimi is still like, remember when we want to see that movie. She still remembers that she does see. Comedy is a hard one because, especially with a comedy like that, like a Will Farrell movie, if you're not completely into it, it can seem like the dumbest thing ever. Yeah, so I could see that one being an awkward one to watch with your grandma. Just wasn't a good wasn't a good one. I still like that movie. I think at that time Will Farrow was making really great comedies that everybody loved, and I think that's one of his best step that era. But if you saw anything after that, probably not that great of a theater experience and see the thing is me, Me, Me, Alex, A good comedy, like I mean, you've watched comedies at Christmas with my family, like everyone loves like a slightly inappropriate comedy. But I think it was just a combination of me being twelves and me me and I going to see that. I don't know why. I think it was one of those we were just like, oh, well, Farell, it's a comedy, not fully thinking about what a Will Ferrell comedy meant in two thousand and six, just thinking it would be like a good like Chuckle. And it's also different when you go watch it in theaters because you're stuck there. You can't go anywhere else, you can't get on your phone, you can't look away, you can't do anything else. You're stuck there watching that movie. And if you're not laughing, if you're not enjoying it, you feel like you're being robbed of your money. So I think that's why comedies are the hardest to go and come out completely happy. Speaking of comedies, another one of my worst theater experiences was My Best Friend's Girl with Dane Cook, and it was that time when Dan Cook was really trying to make it as an actor slash comedian, he was getting these really kind of weird movie roles. Like I thought Employee of the Month was all right, Jessica Simpson. Yes, that one a decent comedy. This one, it was probably one of the worst things I've ever seen come out with him in it, and one that I was I would to see with my brother and my sister, and we all collectively didn't like it. So it's not just me not liking a movie, it's your whole group not enjoying a movie, which I think is interesting, especially if you're the one who convinces your group, hey, let's go watch this movie because it's funny. Suddenly it's all on you, which reminded me of last year when we all went to go watch F nine for my birthday and some people enjoyed it that way with us, and some people hated it. But we also weren't going under the premise of, like, everyone wants to see this. It was really the only thing that could. He's a group. That's what my whole thing of picking that movie was, which I mean it was. It was fun for what it was. Ray Nearer did the whole thing because so if you don't know, we rented out a theater. They were still I don't think they're that expensive now, but it was pretty cheap because movie theater still first summer coming back, and it was like, let's do something fun. So we went and it was just us and the Bobby Bone Show crew and so we had like the whole theater, but it was we only filled up like two rows. It was like ray behind us the whole time, like narrating every action, which made it more fun. Yeah, if I can narrate every bad movie, they would be phenomenal. Right, there's a business idea there you go. And I think with me, with my relationship with the Fast and the Furious movies, I know how ridiculous they are, I know how dumb they are, but I get enjoyment ed of it. I think along the same lines in our group Amy she loves them for that same reason because they are so big and dumb and just fun movies to watch in a group setting in a big on a big screen. That's what those movies are. But I think for Bobby, he wanted to go see a good movie and he doesn't really get those like, Okay, this is supposed to be just like dumb fun he wants to go to rarely goes to movie theater. He wants to have something that he leaves that like changes him. That's not what a fast in the Furious movie is. So I think that went down to like his worst movie theater experience ever was your birthday. But I stand by I still think we wanted to go watch something that would yes a piece of whole group. We had everything from people in their forties too, people's kids with us. I was going to say we had some teenagers with us. That's what age appropriate. Now let's talk about you talked about you convincing your brother and sister to go see a funny film. Let's talk about a funny film you convinced me to see last month. Jackass Forever? Is this your next one up? I don't know why I didn't take the night at home to myself, like which I offered you. You did, but I know how much you love Jackass, and I wanted to be a supportive wife, and I was like, you know, it'll probably be funny. I think we went on like a Tuesday night. In retrospect, I should have just said go forth and have fun. That was the worst hour in forty minutes of my life. And for you it's more so not the physical humor. The physical humor is fine, like very like Three Stooges, but in that's funny to me, it's the like, without giving anything away, but if you've watched Jackass, it's the like bodily functions and fluids that they put into comedy that's just not necessary. I gagged at one point during the movie and I was like, I'm gonna have to leave and go to the bathroom. Yeah, you did not enjoy that one, No, but I find that stuff hilarious and I am putting that in my back pocket. And then you have to go see a movie with me. And if you haven't seen Jackass forever, it is streaming now on Paramount Plus and they've added forty minutes of extra content. It sounds like like my own nightmare. It sounds like we ever have a bet, like a stipulation, make you watch the forty minute Jackass cut? Absolutely not, Okay, what are the odds? What are the odds? And play right now? Okay, Oh, I'm scared, So we both say a number. If we get it correct, you have to watch the forty minute version. Okay, on the count of three, all right, you gotta that one, alright. Next up on my list is Transformers The Last Night, which came out in seventeen. Now, I love the first two Transformers movies with Chila Buff Megan Fox, which this one wasn't This was there, long gone, and they bring in Mark Wahlberg. This isn't the Bumblebee one. No, Bumblebee had a solo one. Hayley seinfeldt, Yeah, almost, that's a pretty good movie. But this was the whole Like, all right, let's do another Transformers movie, bring you know, all the Transformers back, but instead of our strong young leads, we bring in Mark Wahlberg. And I feel like Mark Wahlberg. It's a pretty bad rap now because when he gets cast into something, people are like, why do you pick Mark Wahlberg. I actually think he's a pretty good actor. I like he does have range, but he was so out of plays in a Transformers movie. But I don't think the reason this movie was so bad was his fault. The story was terrible. It just didn't really feel like the first two movies, and it just kind of felt tacked onto the entire franchise. And if I go watch something with big robots fighting each other, and I'm not entertained you had to do something really bad with the story, because that's really all I need. All I need is big dumb things fighting each other, and I can find some enjoyment in that. But it was just so boring, so unnecessary, and it really kind of tarnishes the whole name of the Transformers franchise because the name of the Transformers franchise is so so high regarded, so high regarded. But that was a pretty bad one for me again, because when you go into watching something and having some expectation and you're let down, that's really where I kind of find my okay. That was a terrible experience because usually I can tell by the trailer or something's going to suck or not. And before it was like if the trailer gives away every single plot point to the movie, and you really don't have to go and watch the trailer watch the actual movie because you already experienced it through the trailer. That's usually the sign of a pretty bad movie. That's a little bit why I'm apprehensive to go see the new Jake Jillen Hall movie, The Ambulance Movie, because I watched that trailer and talked about it on Here shows the entire movie from beginning to end. Like, I know exactly what's going to happen in that movie, but it has him in it. Directed by Michael Bay, it looks like a lot of explosion. It might just be a fun movie. Even though I know exactly what's going to happen in the That's like every disaster movie with the Rock that we've ever watched. That's true. Still some enjoyment there to be had. Yeah, so this one could be enjoyable too. All right, what's another one of yours? You're gonna get mad at me for this one. I think I've said this one before and all the pisar stands are gonna come after me. Wally. Oh you didn't like Wally? I hate Wally Is? I hate it. I did see people commenting and tweeting about this one. What is the Wally hatred? Because I don't get it. It's so boring. Okay, there's like no dialogue. It's like a robots beeping are there's more of a story. I feel like the story of Wally is that kind of desolate future and kind of the commentary on what our society is going to become. We left how much to see Kung Fu Panda time, We've already seen it. We took my little brother, which, okay, I'm sorry, it's a Pixar movie. Okay, there's no talking. Kids aren't gonna like it. Not well marketed. I can see it. I didn't watch it in theaters, but I can see that if you're going into that wanting to see a typical Pixar kids movie and you get this kind of sci fi futuristic story, but yeah, very little dialogue that you'd be like, well, what exactly is happening? Right? So we were out interesting thing you did though, You left a movie and when you go watch another movie, how did you guys come to that collected decision? We'd already paid for a ticket, so you're not really like going to watch two for one. No, we like we left like ten minutes into Wally and maybe twenty. I'm trying to make it sound better like we didn't. We we've already seen part of Kung Fu Panda. We paid. It's true you did. And listen, when you've seen my family go to the movies, Not only are we buying tickets, there's like a hundred dollars worth of concessions. Yeah there's the you've seen family popcorn and the ice cream A pickle can't. Yeah, it's an energy drink. It is a whole thing. We invested well in the theater, so yeah, we hopped over to Kong Fupanda. But yeah, Wally bad in the theater. I swear like in high school, a teacher put Wally on. I took a nap. I was like, please excuse me from the snooze fest. I hate Wally Burning Passion. Wow, I didn't realize you hated that movie so much. It's not one of my favorite Pixar movies, but I don't hate it by any means. Interesting thing here, Now I know the true reason why. Another one of my worst theater experiences is a movie I remember watching with Mike. I went with my cousin as a third wheel on a date, and I was young. This movie came out in two thousand. It's called Down to You with Freddy Prince Jr. It's like a teen romantic movie. But I remember watching this movie and I was probably like nine, ten years old, and my cousin just took this girl with him and was making out the entire time, and that was probably one of my worst movie theater experiences. Let's talk about the concept of a movie date. We didn't go on a movie date until we were like already in a relationship. And I won't dive into this, but we went to see Christopher Robin, which was a bad experience in itself, but it wasn't like a movie date, like we were already dating and we went to go see a movie. Yes, I've been on several movie dates as like a first or second day before. Terrible idea. It is a bad idea battle around. I feel like a movie date is bad because you don't talk to during a movie unless you're like fifteen and try to make out in the back of the few. Yes, there's no reason to go see a movie if you're trying to get to know somebody. It's not a movie date. You're not gonna get to know them. You're gonna meet up and then for two hours not talk. I'm trying to think of all the movies I've seen on dates. You know, I can name all the ones I've been to on dates. All right, let me see and pull up my list here. Zero never went on a movie date. I saw one of the Fast and Furious early on, and then I tried to see Blindside but it was sold out. And then some other movie called The Box. I remember that movie. It's where they have all of the box and I think, if you press it, you get some money. And then also like a random stranger in the world may die. And the moral of the story is don't go on movie dates, especially early in relationship. But I feel like now when we go watch movies, it's not a date. Just go watch movies. Um. Some other ones that some listeners sent in was Movie three, which came out I agree is a pretty bad movie movie. And if you haven't seen Movie forty three, it was this movie that has a bunch of A list actors and it was filmed like in little Pieces. They're basically a bunch of random comedy sketches put into a movie. But there's like Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, but it's very like gross and stupid and low level comedy, and it is. That's the thing is I find it hard to hate up on movie is that it's a concept I thought could have been great, but the actual product is pretty much unwatchable, and I think it's because it reminds me of a Simpsons episode where it's a bunch of short stories about Springfield and it's just back to back things, but how they intertwined. So I really wanted this movie to be a lot better than it was. Me being able to watch it at home at my own pace and starting and stopping it, I didn't find it as terrible as if I went to pay money and watch it in theaters, I probably would have been miserable. So I think that's why a lot of people send in Movie forty three. But I'm just glad I didn't see that movie in theaters. Honorable mentioned. Like other bad movie experiences, I'll throw myself under the bus. At the time, I accidentally bought us seats at a movie theater and it was like desk chairs. Oh yeah. We were in Austin, Texas, and it felt like we were about to judge a sinking competition. So I bought the tickets online and I bought for like the top row, but it didn't show on the picture that there was only one way in and out of the row, and so I thought our seats were on the end, like you walk up and just in your seat. But we had to like climb over people's laps, and it was a kind of like Alamo Drafthouse. It was an Alamo Drafthouse, but so they were like tables for you to eat your food. So we were like having to hop over strangers. And I was like, never mind, let's switch out our tickets. And the only tickets available were at this like row with these like desk chairs you need to like walk past people. Yeah, that was bad. Um other bad experiences. When I was eight, my mom and I went to see a movie and she picked her drink up by the lid before the movie started and spuilt the whole thing. So I was covered in Dike coke and cold and show ring for the whole movie. That will definitely ruin your weekend. Some other ones that listeners said in a bunch of people said Suicide Squad, and then there was various Adam Sandler movies. Honorable mentions Don't mess with the Zohan, Little Nikki and Jack and Jill, which is actually my mom's my mom's favorite Adam Sandler movie, maybe in her top three movies. I did find out recently that my mom is a big fan of the Annabelle movies, so maybe that's where I get it from. She's seen every single Conjuring and Annabelle movie, so I may have to get her on the podcast to talk about that. The other ones that you sent in were The Happening, which I think any movie that's supposed to have a twist from End Night Shamalan leads people up for disappointment. And then the final movie I want to talk about is one we didn't see in theaters because it didn't come out in theaters, but it came out I guess a couple of weeks ago now on Hulu, and it is called Deep Water with Ben Affleck and another attemas. I thought it was going to be a good movie and it was not, and it now in my opinion and overtakes Jelie for the worst movie Ben Affleck has ever done with a significant other, because he and On a Day Arn Muss were dating at the time they were so Jennifer Lopez is not an excuse. Yes, So this movie was dubbed as a sexy thriller, heronic thriller, and there was this whole thing about the story of like, oh, it's supposed to you know, have you on the edge of your seat this relationship they have. He plays a husband and he lets his wife hook up with other dudes to save their marriage, and it all gets crazy when these dudes start showing up dead. It is the most predictable film. It was one of those where you're like, Okay, something's happening, and I think it's this, but like I'm expecting to be something else. No, it's it's what you think. I was creating all these plot lines in my head where they're going to take it. They start, you know, things about his job. I'm like, this is gonna happen, and this is gonna happen, and then there was no plot the entire movie. Nothing happened aside from them like cooking up and doing dirty stuff. But I was so disappointed in that, and I I still don't know why we watched the whole thing. An hour in we were like, nothing has happened, so we paused it so I could get up and go to the restroom, and we were forty seven minutes in or like nothing had happened. And but I think by that point we were so committed that we were like, yeah, we'll just keep watching. It kind of felt like a lifetime movie. Don't you Darrence lild a lifetime movie, but like that whole like drama aspect of like the who Did It? But this was supposed to be I mean, this had like a list actor. This was supposed to be better. This is not Listen. There is a Lifetime movie brand. This was not a lifetime I didn't mean to install your your lifetime movies. But I will say I won't spoil this movie, although I don't recommend you watch it at all, like zero stars like zero Like it's the only movie I've said should be a zero out of five. So I won't spoil it still because I don't spoil movies. But it had the worst chase scene I've ever seen in any movie. I was disgusted by it. I was disgusted by the stupid predictability of it and the stupid of like this is so unrealistic. So that is a movie. I'm glad they decided not to release in theaters because people would have had to witness what we witness and paid money for it. You can just throw that one out, don't watch it by no means. But we're gonna come back and do a review of another movie watched on a streaming service. Cheaper by the Dozen a movie that you were excited about because you're a fan of all the other ones. Right, Yeah, so we'll get into that after this. All right, about to get into a spoiler free review of a new movie on Disney Plus. It's a reboot of Cheaper by the Dozen starring Zach Braff. If you haven't heard anything about this movie yet, here's just a little bit of the trailer. Where are the Bakers? Ten kids and no nanny? Wait, you have ten chicks? Shockingly, I enjoyed being with my kids. Yeah, I do too. Guys are funny, That's not what because weren't having a fast and furious style race for money. Whoa, I just realized what that smarting? You? Just falling them? So this is a reboot of Cheaper by the Dozen. The different approach here is they kind of blend the family. This time. You have Zach Braff's character who plays the dad. He works at this restaurant and meets this other woman who he marries also had kids of her own. They blend them together. So it's really the premise of yours mine and ours yes, Because in the original Cheaper by the Dozen, all ten kids are theirs twelve kids and Cheaper by the dozen. That's another That's what I felt confusing about this one. So they had yellow I'm just trying that that would kind of the dozen was made up basically of Zach Braff, Gabrielle Union and their ten kids. But in the Cheaper by the Dozen of what was it like the fifties? The original and then with Steve Martin Bunny Hunt, they had twelve kids. So that's another reason why you were confused, not the reason why it's more of yours, mine and ours. But anyways, they branded it as Cheaper by the Dozen. It felt more like the Brady Bunch to me, but I guess they have their own kids together. I'm comparing this one to the Steve Martin one because I feel like that's what it's a little bit more of a reboot of. And if you are wondering what the shaking is here, we're also having coffee away from microphone. But anyway, the reason I didn't like this on that much in the beginning is because the kids and the Steve Martin one, I felt like, are such better kid actors, which is a weird thing to be a critique of. But I feel like not just their acting, but like their whole presence and the way they're written into the movie. It was a little bit more like At the Forefront and this one, I feel like it's so much about Zach Braff's character and him struggling to live out his dream and provide for his family, kind of the whole struggle that he's going through. And the kids are also, I feel like younger in this one than they are in that movie, and it just focuses more on his story and the kids are just kind of there. How did you feel about it? I mean, I wasn't going into it thinking it was going to be like an Ostar nominee. I wasn't either, But I just love that feeling of the two thousands one. It feels very fun. It's like a big kind of fun party. We did rewatch that recon, yeah, and there's something there's like a warmth of that movie that I really enjoy In this one, I didn't really feel that same like feeling that I was watching like this family kids movie. It was a palate cleanser because we watched A deep Water the night before. Then I enjoyed it way more than that. So why are you such a big fan of the original ones? They were like everything that the early two thousands embodied. It was Hillary Duff, Tom Welling, Piper Parabow, which is great cast, Ashton Kutcher, Alison Stoner. Like the list goes on. It missed a bit of like the Teen Star Power, Yes, but I feel like in two the Teen star Power is now in more like more risk aith things like Euphoria and like the Gossip Girl reboot. Like I don't feel like Teen Star Power is in like those family oriented movies anymore. It's in a whole different place, a whole different genre. Interesting point. I did, towards the middle of this movie really start to enjoy it once. I wasn't expecting what I wanted to out of, you know, a cheaper but the Dozen reboot, and it is a really good family film. I think the overall moral lesson here and the other lessons you learned throughout the movie are pretty strong and also just kind of bold for a Disney movie right now, any kind of Disney live action sometimes it has to be so like Sugarcoated, where they don't go in these certain topics, but everything from the community they live in, the struggles they go through being a blended family, like it was all in there, and I enjoyed that part of the movie. Some realists. I haven't really seen in a Disney movie like that before, and I will say blended and like they put their chief family scather And also it was a biracial family. Yea, so I really like that aspect of that. You know, the comedy was there. I wasn't laughing out loud while watching this movie. But again, like you said, I wasn't really expecting some Oscar nominated movie out of this. I think it's a good family movie. I think it was hard for me, Like I just had Steve Martin in this role. Again, and Zach Braff is not Steve Martin at all. I really like him in Scrubs, but sometimes I felt like his zaney no in this wasn't that same. It didn't transfer as well. But once it kind of got away from like a zany comedy to a little bit more of like a family drama, I thought he worked pretty well into it. So if you had to rate the new Cheaper by the Dozen, we just would wag hardcore in the Cheaper by the doesn't. But what would you rate it eight out of thirteen, and I say thirteen because that the Baker's doesn't and their last name is Baker. Okay, I would probably go on the traditional scale three out of five breakfast restaurants. I think the other thing is that they were able to modernize this movie but did not feels super cheesy. They bring in like you know what, they reference TikTok and just other kind of things that that you know that this movie is happening now, and sometimes when you do that it feels so like forced on and like, oh, we gotta add all these pop culture references and but all these things in the movie, it didn't really feel forced in tact on. So that's a pretty big feat to accomplish for a movie like this. So I think it's a solid family movie. Again, not a movie geared towards me in any way, but I would give it three out of five. Okay, But you watch a lot of movies not geared towards you. We watched Kanto a couple of weeks ago, yeah, and Turning Red. You'll watch just about anything. I will watch anything. So but I think when I get into like critiquing and grading a movie, I just like to let people know when I realize I'm not the one these movies are made for, not the target audience. I'm not the target audience here, which I think the movie we'll talk about next week I was clearly not the target audience for. But we'll get into that next week. So that is what we think about Cheaper by the Dozen. Now it's time for the part of the podcast where I break down a film coming to you very soon in theaters or streaming in a segment we call it's time to head down to movie Mike, And this week we're looking at a movie called Where the craw Dads Sing, and it's based on a book, which is a great reason that you're here this week because you read a lot of books, and you have read this book in particular. Here is just a little bit of Where the craw Dad Sing. The marsh girl she chill. I know you have a world of reasons they hate these I never hated them. They hated me. They harassed me. Never you want me to pick for my life, I want to turn up to sign anything about me. So what I see this movie is about. It's a woman who raised it herself in the marshes of the Deep South, and then she becomes the prime suspect in the murder of this dude she was involved with. Is that pretty much what the book is about too, I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna say I also don't entirely remember I read it a while back. It took me a while to get into it. We also read a lot since then. And you you said this book was pretty hyped up, which is probably the reason they're making a movie about it. But it's not a book you loved, right, I didn't love it? Yeah, And I feel like a lot of other people are like, this is one of the best books I've ever read. I wouldn't give it that. You also read a lot of books, but still on that scale, wasn't anything that particularly moved you to the point to say they should make a movie about this. It wasn't anything I would recommend anyone. The reason I like movies made from books like this is the writing is going to be there that I feel like that's the hardest thing when taking a book adaptation is how good the writing is. And just by watching the trailer and hearing about this, I feel like the story itself is enough to carry a movie and it's really hard to screw up an already good, established story in a book where everything's pretty much laid out for you. The road map is there, especially with something like this. I think a lot of the times when book adaptations get screwed up is when you're trying to take a larger than life world and create that. So a movie like you know, like the Harry Potter movies and the Hunger Games, those were so belowed by everybody because they were able to create that world. This isn't a fantasy book. It's very realistic, so I think that just kind of sets them up for it at least being something entertaining. The dialogue will be good if they follow along with the writing. So I think this is a movie I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise, but I'm kind of into it now. When you go watch a movie based on a book you read, how many times do you say the book was better? Almost every time, really, because you can get more in depth in a book and you're able to flesh out the characters a lot more, and with the movie it's like, all right, this has to happen, This has to happen. I think what I hate the most is when they like take out some pretty big parts that I love from the book that's not in the movie, and then I feel light down the entire time. The only time where I feel like the book in the movie are on part of is it f It's at Nicholas Sparks. Those are pretty right on. And don't get me wrong, I love Nicholas Sparks book like I know what I mean. I go into it knowing what it's gonna be, and then the movies are usually really well cast. Let's think the Notebook Dear John, like the list goes I'll walk to remember the list goes on. We'll watch this movie and then it comes out on July compared to the book. Yeah, I need to go refresh myself on the book. How long does it take you to read one book like this a day, like a Saturday day. I'm still working on the Will Smith book. Yeah, and maybe if I read in the evenings, like a couple of evenings. Very fast reader. Yeah. It was a problem when I was a kid because I went through books so fast. My mom would be like, I just bought you a book in the can, need more to the library. Or I would be that kid who read ahead in class, and then like I'd get called on to read and I wouldn't know where we are because I was ten pages ahead. We were like the opposite in school. I would be reading along to see what lines are gonna land on me and make sure I rehearsed them. And then I'd get screwed up when they would let the kid one or two ahead of me read a little bit further screwed me up. I just I read a lot as a kid. That was my hobby. I actually got in trouble by my kindergarten teacher because she was mad that I went to kindergarten knowing how to read. Quite a thing to get in trouble for. Yeah, but Mimi, who a reference startler went to see Talent day Nights with, was a school teacher, and so she told me to read when I was look for And that's not a braggage, just like that's what happens when your grandma's a school teacher.
