I recently rewatched both of those movies recently, My wife and I love Jake these days, he's been crushing it with a lot of different roles

They're both horror movies without being explicitly horror. When Jake is at that organist's house and he's in the basement, it's fucking terrifying. Plus all those unexplained phone calls...

I kinda wish they had gone a bit more on the copycat stuff, but the movie would have been three hours long at that point.
 
Order is one of the good ones, right? I think I heard somewhere the Harry Potter movies follow an odd-number rule. Odd ones are good.

They're all critically acclaimed, at least going by Rotten Tomatoes. Not counting Fantastic Beasts (which still received relatively good reviews), the lowest two movies have a 78% (OOTP is one of them). So, while OOTP is technically a good movie, critically it's one of the worst in the series. Crazy that it's ten years old already.

Oh. well I guess I'm thinking of Star Trek or James Bond, then.

edit: definitely not Star Trek.
 
Star Trek has been solid

James Bond, after Casino Royale, has been poop

I loved Skyfall, though Casino Royale is still my favorite by a long shot. Personally, I actually liked Spectre (despite its problems) and thought Quantum of Solace was fine. It's main problem, in my eye, was that it felt like an addendum to Casino Royale. At this point, it's the only direct sequel to a previous movie (and maybe the last ever?). I think all the Craig movies (even the worser ones) are better than the non-GoldenEye Brosnan movies.

It is insane to me that no one has done a rewrite of Time Bomb with lyrics referencing Giant Bomb. Replace "black hat" with "Dota hats" and "the boy's a time bomb" with "the boys of Giant Bomb." Those two are for free.
 
I can scratch CA Extreme off my bucket list. Overall it was fun. Was a little disappointed that the heavy emphasis is on late 70s/early 80s pinball and games. It feels like the entire era of early-mid 90s arcade stuff (especially japanese stuff) was missing. Where was all of the Sega System 16/model 1, 2, 3 stuff? Where were the Capcom/Konami beat'em ups (outside of a busted ass Punisher machine)? Where were the fighting games other than like 6 Street Fighter 2 machines? And don't get me started on the cock tease of seeing machines with Street Fighter 3 and SF Alpha 2 headers, only to walk up and find they are just re-purposed into SF2 Champion Edition. Also was kind of surprised at the quality of some of the games. A lot of malfunctioning pinball machines, busted ass monitors, or janky joysticks abound. If you saw an empty machine, odds are this was the reason. Aside from the gripes it was a cool experience just to be in an "arcade" like that again.
