Your reviews and recommendations are great and "watch this, not that" is clever and enjoyable. I have to ask, is there a missing link to the review of "Presence" or is it my laptop being glitchy? Everything else opens. Meanwhile, I've got to watch "They Cloned Tyrone," which I never would've heard of if not for your reviews!
I loved They Cloned Tyrone! A touch of blaxploitation films parody, sci-fi, a bit of mystery, underlying serious issues, good acting, and a lot of good laughs. The white guy with headphones jiving to MJ in the underground lab still has me laughing.
Mickey 7 did not really work for me on the page: the conceit was thin and ran out of steam in the second installment; plus the on-planet sci-fi (the sentient centipedes) was eyeroll-inducing. I did not finish, which is rare for me. I was hoping it would work better on the screen, if only because of Pattinson.
"a macabre slapstick sci-fi satire that gets lost in space" - this nails it.
Though I will say I did like Mark Ruffalo in this. I feel like this was the direction he was given. It's very similar to what he did in Poor Things and everyone was living at this tone.

Yikes! Thanks for pointing out Presence wasn't linked up. Hope you enjoy They Cloned Tyrone!

There may come a time when I become more forgiving of this Ruffalo era --- I think he could be one of the greats (and sometimes is)
