What does that have to do with making a movie with a political agenda rather than continuing the Superman story we grew up with? The whole thread was about why movies are no longer worth watching, and that's why.

Lots of movies have political, religious, social and other points of view (agenda). Nothing new about that. Movies, books, art of all kinds are created by humans. All humans develop biases as they go through life. If you were a Nazi in Germany during WWII you probably would not have liked the Three Stooges portral of you beloved fuhrer. Just because you don't like the message doesn't mean the movie is artistically without merit. Look up old movies that you once loved. Watch them again. I often do. Like a visit with an old friend.
Make some popcorn and melt some butter and have a nice day!

Not garbage! Trash.
Hens'teeth and unicorns don't exist. Good movies do, whether you like them or not.
Needle in a haystack not with the time? Depends on how badly you need it.

The Ballad of Wallis Island
 
I would give this movie a "7" out of "10." It's about a rich person (via lottery winner) who buys and lives on a small island and decides to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of his wife's untimely death by holding a concert on the island. The musical group he invites is a duo (think Sonny and Cher) who were his wife's favorite.
It's only on Peacock. I get that for free since I'm the last one in the universe who still subscribes to Comcast

Sometimes being last is a good thing.

Just saved $ 90 per month by saying good bye. A week after I left they sent text asking me to return equipment. Already returned.

A week later they offered me a 50% discount over what I was paying good for 5 years. Told them if they did it last time I told them I would be leaving I would not be a former customer.

Yes, you can buy it or rent it on Fandango (which is owned by Comcast).

Movies are supposed to have character development. If you compare the Mountainhead's 4 characters in the beginning of the movie to the same 4 at the end. They are UNCHANGED. Funny thing, the movie was NOT worth watching, but the acting was excellent.

Companion was very entertaining. Did not care that much for Mickey 17. I really enjoyed The Amateur .
