Give Sense8 a second look. It’s slow to get going, but only in the same way that the space shuttle looks like it’s hardly moving at first. It’s a story about interconnected narratives - not just built from, “about” in the sense that every story, every life being connected is it’s core theme - and as such it seems to spend a lot of time simply laying out the pieces. It’s not until everything is place that you realise that in the precise manner in which those pieces were put in place, the story was already being told.
It’s astonishing, and beautiful. It’s easily the most personal story they have ever told, and - paradoxically - also the most universal.
Yeah King Kong Lives tries really hard. It was on regular rotation on TV in the later 80’s I never failed to watch and I regretted it each and every time. My favorite is the sequel to Godzilla vs King Kong, King Kong Escapes… I loved that Robo Kong. There’s also Queen Kong and Yeti both pretty terrible and charming in their own ways.
Oh, I’m going with Costner. A friend of my husband ruined him for me: “Look. At. The. Buffalo.” In perfect monotone. I think he was jealous, but every Costner movie I see that’s all I hear, now. I do agree with @daneel about his quality of sports movies.
