Whatcha Watchin'?

I haven’t seen it yet, but it definitely fits along with the others.

Has anyone watched The Power?

Am I wrong, or is it kind of bad?

General Spoilers

I really want to like it, but my main issue is that it seems to want to tell us one thing (“This change allows the balance of power to shift from men to women”) while showing us something else (“Almost every women who uses their power causes some measure of pain and suffering”). It almost feels like the core message of the show is that actually women shouldn’t have the/any power. It’s weird because it also goes out of its way to show how awful the men in power and the response to women gaining these powers are.

It really feels like it’s trying to walk this middle ground in order to not really offend anyone, but I don’t think it’s succeeding.

Oh, yes, we’re big Phibes fans. A similar Uncle Bink (Vincent Price) vehicle, Theatre/Theater of Blood, with Diana Rigg is also great. Scary and gross Shakespearean revenges are taken on the critics who angered him.

I picked a fun bad movie for Thanksgiving. It’s pretty much what you’d expect from the description. A low-budget eldritch horror with hookers and awkwardness.
