Gorillaz Movie Canceled Amid Netflix Animation Purge, Says Damon Albarn

Gorillaz are a fictional animated band who have remained culturally relevant for decades and who are playing just below Bad Bunny on this year’s Coachella lineup. That’s pretty amazing! Given that track record, you’d think that an animated Gorillaz movie would make sense. And you’d think that...

Saw The Mask for the first time yesterday. I did actually enjoy it, could even mostly ignore the bad CGI (which was still pretty okay given how old the movie is). 7/10

www.imdb.com

The Mask (1994) ⭐ 7.0 | Comedy, Crime, Fantasy

1h 41m | PG-13

Also saw Lethal Weapon recently, and after giving Rush Hour a six last week, I decided to "upgrade" Lethal Weapon to a 7. (initially rated it a 6). LW was definitely better than RH.

I really wonder how this movie is going to perform :biggrin:



www.imdb.com

Barbie (2023) - IMDb

Barbie: Directed by Greta Gerwig. With Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Ariana Greenblatt, Helen Mirren. To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken.
