The quality has suffered and they have tried to compensate with over the top.

I did like the Generation V series, but yeah. Too many dumb storylines. The Frenchie one is the most annoying and irrelevant of them all.

My wife suggested Unfrosted and wanted to watch it. I recalled it got roasted on here, so I went in with super low expectations. I honestly thought it was going to be a lighthearted documentary. The reality is that it’s just a spoof story about how Kellogg’s and Post were competing for a pastry product to market. It’s got so many big stars that every single character will leave you wondering, “Wait, who is that? Where do I know them from?”
It’s a totally silly movie, but if you go in with an open mind, it has some pretty funny moments and lots of nostalgia from my childhood. You will likely know about 25 of the stars that are either main characters or make cameos.
It will not win any awards, but I ended up glad that we watched it. It was lighthearted silly fun.
Your opinion of it will likely be impacted by your level of expectation. If you expect it to be similar (or even in the same galaxy) as the Air Jordan story (or, on a lower level, the Flaming Hot Cheetos movie), you will be disappointed. It’s not a serious show at all and there is no basis of reality to the story at all.

Finished watching "Defending Jacob" (Apple TV+) last night. Cops and lawyers. Lot of plot twists and turns. Dialog heavy, so a little slow moving. Surprise ending(s).

Blue Lights season 2 (on BritBox) was fantastic.

I mean that’s just trailer music. There will be no rap in the show as far as I know.

I will give a nod to the E5 Compound V attack sheep. Aggys worst nightmare after Schloss.

Watching all the Beverly Hills Cops movie in anticipation of the new movie coming to Netflix.
I definitely miss those 80s style movies.

The Ho-Hum Box Office of Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Carries a Message: Don’t Turn Movies Into Television
There's hubris in Kevin Costner expecting moviegoers to show up for what is essentially a miniseries with the first part of his 'Horizon' Western.

I’m pretty excited about Horizon.
I’m not gonna go to the theatre, but I’ll watch them all when they start streaming. Looks great.

I saw Horizon with Showgirl yesterday. We both liked it. $9 for a Senior ticket at Cinemark. Worth it in my opinion.
I cannot wait for part two.

“Horizon,” with an $11 million opening weekend and a $100 million price tag, has the potential to be not only a financial train wreck, but the kind of train wreck that unfolds in slow motion over the course of months.

I am done with Theaters, but I eagerly await seeing Horizon from the comfort of the Rancho. The negative bleating of the Media bothers me little, as these were the foul swine praising "Disney Star Wars" and the like. Their disapproval is a positive sign for me.
