Was flipping the channels and caught BrightBurn. Not very scary and very predictable. How did DC not sue them as it's a direct ripoff of SuperMan; right down to the small town in Kansas. [Reply]

Huh, I liked it very much. They probably had permission but IDK it's a good question. [Reply]
I found the previous movie from a reddit recommendation. I saw the following trailer for this upcoming Horror movie which I thought looked pretty cool, and somebody said "If that looks cool, check this out from the same writers!"

Yeah, very good. The blonde friend with all the questions in the trailer is a costar.
Barry is a dark comedy, but it's not so much about the comedy as the comedy just comes out in the narrative. Hader is a primo marksman hitman who happens upon a theatre class while escaping a hit gone wrong. He wants to leave the life of crime and be an actor after he has an epiphany in the class. And thus far it's him juggling trying to get out of 'the life' and shield his actor friends from it at the same time.
The blonde in the trailer is a fellow actor who he develops a crush on, and she has her own narrative about the depredations of trying to be a working/struggling young actor, and of course oblivious to his double life as they start to date. [Reply]
If anyone was curious about this, it's a cheap teen jump-scare movie. Nothing original, no sense of "thrill". No particularly suspenseful moment. Full of cliches. The CGI is inconsistent. "Mary" can look creepy in one scene, and then cheap and low-budget in another.
If you're a horror fan you won't be impressed. If you like cheap jump scares you might be into it. [Reply]
