Joe Kidd - Underwhelming considering the talent involved. Biggest issue is that Kidd himself basically has no personality and just floats along in story, and it just isn't a good fit for Clint.
Mortal Kombat II - It's a step up from the predecessor, but not as much of one as it would seem like on paper. I thought the first 30-40 minutes or so are pretty bad, and was ready to be disappointed with the whole thing. It's nothing but rushed poorly written exposition and bad performances from almost everyone. Luckily, once the movie decides to have a plot it gets way more interesting and engaging. Would have probably been better served as two films, with the first ending with X's death, and the second about the quest to take down Shao Khan. This would have given way more room to breathe to the majority of the actual tournament. Also, the movie looks like crap.
Paper Moon - Man, it hurts to see how good Ryan and Tatum O'Neal are together here knowing how much of a raging piece of garbage he was to her in real life, because they are magnetic.
Hoppers - This movie is absolutely insane. The best Pixar in over a decade, if not much longer. Creative, funny, gorgeous. Loads of fun characters, absolutely demented world building that goes down a dark spiral to a finale you have to see to believe. The overall messaging is muddled, but it's so cuckoo bananas that I can overlook that.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace - First rewatch in a long time. Held up better than I had feared. What props it up is a few of things. The big three are the music, the pod race (so by extension, the sound design), and the final duel. Otherwise it is a bizarre mix of a very serious and adult political story that feels even more relevant today than it did in 99, juxtaposed against terrible dialogue, bad performances and the insane decision to make this particular story aimed at children. You can tell George put is heart and soul into this, which makes it oddly endearing, despite its many flaws.

Are you gonna post here at all on what you're selling? If so I might be interested in buying!
I plan to, just gotta get organized first.

The big thing that I think is getting lost in the conversation is that a lot of physical purchases are second-hand. Every single one of those is a game that Sony could have sold for profit twice (or more), which is why they want to eliminate it so bad. I think where Sony is going to see a big down turn isn't in initial sales. Digital is going to see an uptick from all the people who previously bought physical but still want to play. If you made conservative estimates, about 25% of new physical sales will convert to digital. So their sales loss would only be about 75% of what current physical sales revenue is.
There is probably going to be a drop in long term engagement from people who buy used games. I'd wager that the people who do buy second hand are not going to be converting to digital en masse, but there is no real way to measure or estimate that right now because there's no way to effective gauge the strength of the secondary market.

Rebel Moon: Chapter Two - Curse of Forgiveness - What a waste of potential. Went from a relatively fun planet hopping adventure to a stuck-in-one-place borefest. It does get a bit better when the action kicks off, but that takes two hours. Too little, too late.

When the link was originally posted this entire thread was locked and none of the mods know why. Outside of a misclick potential auto-filters seemed like the only viable option. So, when we reopened the thread we removed the link.

The Odyssey - Nolan remains an absolute master at the technical aspects of filmmaking. I do think that performances here aren't quite as strong as we typically see from him, but that's not to say they are bad. Just none I'd call my favorites of the year, even though the movie tops my current best of 2026.
7 Men From Now - Another winner from BB and Randolph Scott, with an assist from a rarely better Lee Marvin.

After trying to avoid playing huge timesink games this year I ended up diving into Stellaris, a space 4X game that I ended up playing for like 60 hours. Ended up being exactly an itch I needed to scratch, though.
