Let's see how those plays out, hopefully it won't be lame.

Btw, if you go in without any expectations, The Fly II is decent. Just don't compare it to the Cronenberg release and take it for what it is.

I generally dislike musicals (with some exceptions like Dancer in the Dark and Moulin Rouge!), but the Back to the Future franchise seems like a bad fit for a musical.

More so than most franchises, Back to the Future feels very tied to the zeitgeist of its time (80s to early 90s).

Then again, they made Joker 2 a musical (I recently found out about this and had to double check that this wasn't a joke).

If you approach it as an unintentional parody, it can be fun.

I have a feeling this is going to be terrible. Hopefully in a "so bad, it's good" kind of way, but I have my doubts.

Hell House LLC Origins is a return to form of sorts for the Hell House franchise. The first one was excellent, the second and third releases were mediocre. Origins adds a nice spin on the original Hell house formula.

I watched the remake first and I actually liked it more than the original (marginally). The original was great, but I honestly thought the remake was more entertaining (and I have no issues watching "older" movies).

The second one was solid as well, but as often happens with sequels, it didn't quiet match the first one.

That being said, I am looking forward to the third one.

Did not know this was a "Jötunn" specifically, but then again this you don't really need to know this to enjoy the movie.
