if we can‘t get this movie going bc Bezos is a flop, may I suggest Ingrid goes west on hbo max (zaslav is also a flop tho)

I was gonna suggest the camp classic Batman & Robin on the streamer formerly know as HBO Max.

[peddlestools]

I am also extremely into that. I even have those McDonald's glasses too!!!!

[squirrels_oh_no]

Batman Forever is also on if you're also into camp but more into Val Kilmer and Tommy Lee Jones hating Jim Carrey IRL.

Or if people wanted to inject more Wachowski WTFery into their veins, Speed Racer is also on Max. I looked for Cloud Atlas but alas, not streaming anywhere normal.

omg I've been wanting to see speed racer and never have

I've heard it's really good!

I saw part of it on a Transpacific flight, but this was 2008 on an OLD 747 where the only TV screens were tiny overhead ones or on the bulkhead (still tiny) so I couldn't see it. I remember that and Mamma Mia but they played 3 movies that flight.

I would watch that for sure

I haven't seen either a simple favor or Ingrid goes west, but I feel like those two have the same vibe. like you could do a double feature at a movie theater

[tucker]

I've seen both, and I would agree

a simple favor clearly has a higher budget and is a bit shinier
ingrid goes west is like the indie cousin

but same vibes for sure
