They did actually make a short lived TV series that takes place after the movie
Yeah, I've heard. Interestingly, I've never come across the movie until recently, possibly due to distribution. I think it puts forth some very interesting ideas that still hold up today.

The Mandalorian and Grogu. Solidly fun film with the family.
rewatched independence day 2 aka independence day resurgence
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
I watched it once then binned it
Finally got around to Watch on the Rhine, the explicitly anti-fascist Bette David/Paul Lukas movie from 1943, written by Dashiell Hammett (The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, etc) from his wife Lillian Hellman's play. Unsurprisngly kind of stagy, but watchable.
rewatched enola holmes 2 then rewatched now you see me 3
rewatched the 2013 film white house down then rewatched the 2022 film day shift
Tombstone - Good acting, music and cinematography. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat. 10/10
Misery - A master class of horror, suspense and drama. Good acting from all involved. The tension build up was one of the real stand outs to be honest. Good music and cinematography as well. 10/10

The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson.
Obsession (2026) - don't quite get the hype. Sure, it's a metaphor but could these metaphorical people speak and behave like non-metaphorical folk a little but more?
The Untouchables - Good drama, action and suspense. Solid film from start to finish. 10/10
I watched the Backrooms (2026) movie. Over all it was okay. I felt like the Web Series was a lot better. I definitely respect the effort made into the movie, just that I would have changed some of the outcomes a bit more and not left things so open ended in the ending of the movie. Definitely a morbid type movie.
watched the 2025 verison of the running man and then watched five nights at freddys 2
Platoon - Very dramatic, very well acted, good use of occasional music. 10/10
Project Hail Mary and that was great. So I am hoping the Spielberg movie won't be disappointing but I do not feel confident judging by that last trailer

watched the 2025 film jungle bell heist then watched the 2025 film youre cordially invited
I actually saw the TV series first, back when it ran on ABC. I Loved SF TV shows and anything about "people on the run from the obsessed authority figure/reporter/rich dude chasing them" Les Miserables premise. I watch the Christmas episode every year.
The movie is great. Like E.T. for adults. Right down to the final shot. But it's one of my favorite John Carpenter films. It's off brand for him.
So many great lines in this movie and a terrific Bruce Broughton Score. Love this film. Val Kilmer walks away with it but the whole cast is just great.
"I'm your huckleberry."
"Skin that smokewagon, see what happens."
"You tell him I'm comin...and hell's comin' with me!"
Hitting the classics. Another amazing film. Gripping from the start. Ennio Morricone's music is offbeat for a Hollywood production, but I still ran out and got the LP the next day. Connery is fantastic.
I still say "That's the Chicago way!"
For me, Greenland 2 (meh)
I went to a local revival theater for a showing of Superman II - first time i'd seen it in the theater snice 1981. It was advertised as the theatrical cut. I was jazzed. They ran the Donner Cut. I was appalled but I paid my money, so I sat through it for Christopher Reeve. If Donner had actually finished it back then or if they hired an actual professional editor to work on the reassembly, I'd probably look more warmly at it. But jeez, it just doesn't work as a film. Say what you want about Lester's sense of humor, the theatrical is at least a finished film. And a good one. So that was a disappointment.
