I wouldn't get my hopes up for Mr. The Rock's contributions to that movie. Or anyone's, really.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Huh. Several people commented on FB (or maybe Tumblr?) that the sequel is pretty fun, but the third one is awful.
I mean, I'm not expecting an Oscar-worthy performance from anyone in it. I know what I'm getting myself into with a campy movie about a cursed mummy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That was right at the beginning of Mr. The Rock's Hollywood career. I'm glad he got better and that movies figured out how to use him.

I'm happy to watch him even in a cheesy movie.
Although Jumanji looks awesome.

I've seen a couple of trailers for this and it looks fun, but I wish they had called it something else. Why did they have to name it Jumanji? From what I've seen in the trailers, the only similarity is that people get sucked into a game. Ok, that happened in Zathura too.
Why, why, why try to overwrite a past movie. You have changed it up enough, give it a new name. I feel the same about the new Ghostbusters. I love the movie, but call it Ghostbusters 2016 (or whatever year it came out) or something.

I was disappointed by the 2nd (being a campy movie about a cursed mummy sure didn't hamper my enjoyment of the first one), but maybe the retreaded plot points and child actor won't be as off-putting to you as they were to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Isn't it called Jumaji: Something Something? I thought it was more of a sequel than a remake.

Ok, yes. It is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Per IMDB
In a brand new Jumanji adventure, four high school kids discover an old video game console and are drawn into the game's jungle setting, literally becoming the adult avatars they chose. What they discover is that you don't just play Jumanji - you must survive it. To beat the game and return to the real world, they'll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves - or they'll be stuck in the game forever, to be played by others without break.
I was intrigued enough by the trailer that I'm interested in seeing it. Not sure if it will be theater worthy or wait for RedBox.

It has Karen Gillian and Mr. The Rock. I'm there. Maybe for a matinee.
