I saw an ad for a remake of Doctor Doolittle starring Robert Downey, Jr. Looked interesting, but darker than I'd like to see the story told. Anybody have any thoughts?

Doctor Doolittle
It was supposed to open this summer, but the studio pushed it back to January, which might give you some indication of how much confidence they have in the project.

They dropped the trailer for this movie this week and honestly I thought it looked terrible. I've also heard the production was super expensive and riddled with problems. Someone from the production put up a Reddit thread listing all kind of ridiculous shenanigans on set, but I can't find it any more -- it's probably been scrubbed.
I wish RDJ went for more interesting projects that challenged him a bit more, but I don't think he cares that much. Which is a pity.

Last trailer for The Rise of Skywalker: [link]
I was like "eh, it's a so-so trailer" then the music kicked in and I was like OMG GIMME. Damn you, John Williams! The tickets went on sale yesterday just around the time the trailer came out, so my local geek buddy and I went and booked a Dolby showing for Saturday morning. I AM EXCITE!
Still not sure what to think about the whole Palpatine angle but I'm going in with an open mind.
LOL at those horses on a freakin' spaceship.

Knives Out was so much fun. And the set design of the house was incredible. I don't just want to go to there. I want to live there always.

Has anyone seen the new Addam's family movie? Is it appropriate for a four year old?

Monti took her kids to see it and said it was incredibly boring, and her kids were bored too.
I don't think there were any worrisome scares though.

Sadly, I have heard the same from multiple other parental sources.
You guys, Parasite. SO FUCKING GOOD. And for people worried about horror..don't. It's not what you're expecting. If you can see it unspoiled, do it. (If you're already spoiled, see it anyway, but I went in cold and was DELIGHTED. And by delighted I mean also the opposite, but in a delighted way.)
