NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Daddy Issues (2022)
The background noise is almost as loud as the voices
A little weak in the episode, and the acting seemed to be quite robotic, like they were just reading lines and not playing parts. I've been a fan for 19 years. It seems like the actors are new to the show. I know they're better than this. New director??
That's bad, but here is the killer - They've added terrible background mood music to the background noise in NCIS and several other CBS shows. Watching the show is now like trying to have a conversation in a loud bar or restaurant. The background noise is almost as loud as the voices and makes it hard to distinguish them. Hopefully they will read this and make it stop.
WALL·E (2008)
Bring a pillow
Love Pixar, but,,,,,, 1. Story line was long, looong, looooooooooong. 2. Beginning was boooooring, depressing, and really set me up for wishing I had a pillow. 3. Beginning was the only part with challenging animation. 4. Middle was a vastly negative testimonial on technology replacing human fitness. 5. Middle and ending had decent but low detail animation, worse than Saturday morning cartoon stuff. 6. Ending was appropriately negative slam on humans spoiling environment. 7. Overall the movie was 15/16ths boring and depressing with about 3 minutes of hope at the end. 8. The writer disguised this negativism behind a cutsie crush between a couple of robots. This humanizing rotors was kinda weird, seeing 7/8ths of the movie was a vastly negative testimonial on technology replacing human activity and thought.
The Weather Man (2005)
worst acting / directing yet this decade
When I saw Cage & Cane in the lineup I rented it enthusiastically. If I were those guys I would sue the director for deformation of character. They must have stood up Cage and had him blandly state all his lines, then the same for Cane, etc. Then some wizard patched all the lines into scenes. I kept watching thinking it must get better sometime. Auuuuuggggghhhhhh. Here are the lines from a 45 second scene in a car, Cane: "What's that?" Cage: "It's a bagel." this was the most exciting part of the movie. Watching it was painful. I can't believe Cage made this movie. Unbelievable, painful. If you liked this movie I recommend Gulag.
