They can’t exactly just do a remake of pretty woman without being sued.

Derivative, but fun

This movie doesn’t get talked about enough. Without spoiling too much, I guess some people thought it bungled the third act (I thought it was fine as a ‘Heart of Darkness’ kinda take, but I see where they’re coming from). But I loved it. Especially the cinematography and THAT score! I put it on when I’m trying to get some intense work done.

I’d also add ‘Moon’ to the list of underrated space movies.

Revival of Clockwork Orange at UBC- nobody tried to cancel it, but keep listening to those voices in your head.Why would feminists want to ban a film that shows teeen-age boys as violent misogynist assholes,unless you think he is the hero?
Reminds me of those dire warnings of woke trying to ban that scene from Life of Brian- been hearing those warnings for over twenty years now, and nobody has called for it.

Okay dude, whatever you say. 
I have absolutely zero interest in having another pointless political pie fight in a thread about ‘Movies’ so sure, you’re absolutely right, and everyone ever mentioning a woke backlash about anything ever is totally wrong. I won’t believe my lying eyes. 
Good one. That Ryan Gosling movie (Hail Mary) was fun but kind of like it was written by an algorithm which was fed better movies like Moon

Project Hail Mary
I liked it but wish it had explained more. Rocky’s composition, for instance. And the translation interface happened too fast for my taste. But I can understand that the producers must have been reluctant to extend something that already had a running time of more than two and half hours.
I’m guessing I need to read the book. But I’m glad I saw the movie on a big screen. I think it must work better that way than on a TV or, shudder, phone.

Mid-level Pixar, so not mind-blowing but still better than most things out there.

I think the market was more for fifth grade teachers to play to their kiddos in the lazy days of late June when testing is done.

So not so great? I’m hearing it’s good. My daughter wants to see Michael (about Michael Jackson). I would like to avoid that if possible.
That’s an easy call: Project Hail Mary is good. See it.
It’s not without some points, though, that might stress a young child. How old is your daughter?

College. My son is in junior high school, though.
No worries then.
Although I haven’t seen Michael and have no interest in doing so, I’m pretty confident that Project Hail Mary is a much better movie. As to which would be more enjoyable if one doesn’t think too much about what has been whitewashed out of Michael, that’s a matter of personal taste.
