    This is the worst when the film is legitimately bad, too. Like, we all pretty much agree Gods of Egypt was a bad movie, but it's still got defenders because they think we're mad about the Black God and not the whole entire cast of White Guys. Even worse is Captain Marvel. It's just a terrible non-plot without any character growth and intrigue, it's the female version of Green Lantern 2011, but unlike Green Lantern we can't all agree it's a bad movie for all the same reasons.

    DragonHeart: Vengeance (2020) on Blu-ray – surprisingly solid fantasy on a budget. DragonHeart: Vengeance (2020) on Blu-ray – surprisingly solid fantasy on a budget. I didn’t even know this series was still a thing. The original DragonHeart came out in 1996 with Sean Connery as the dragon and made enough money to be called a “success.” Mild, but enough. Since then? Four sequels. Straight to video. And this one, Vengeance, is the latest entry. Now here’s where it gets interesting: it’s not bad.…

    Is there a movie that you know is bad, is universally decreed as bad, but you love it? Mine is Gods of Egypt. Gerard Butler as a giant Scottish Egyptian god, Chadwick Boseman camping it up, and Geoffrey Rush looking like he escaped from a makeover on Drag Race and being utterly bewildered. Love!

    Bujji & Bhairava - prelude to Kalki 2898 AD (Indian Cyberpunk?). I happened to stumble upon this today and wanted to talk about it. Bujji & Bhairava is an animated 2-episode mini-series (15 minutes each) prelude to one of the most expensive Indian movies ever made, [Kalki 2898 AD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalki_2898_AD).

    I enjoy Gods of Egypt, even have the Bluray. It's a dogshit movie but good junk food entertainment. Kinda gives me The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vibes which is another crap movie I like. Not sure why, I think I'm just a sucker for ancient Egyptian themes even when they're butchered to the point of being insulting.

    There were plenty of movies that had a great concept, but the movie sucked. Like Downsizing, Mortal Engines, or Gods of Egypt. Any sci-fi from the 70s-80s where special effects are comically bad (The Last Starfighter). The problem is they would do horrible casting that didn't fit the roles now.

It was about Egyptian gods being cosmic beings. Scott’s movie about the biblical Exodus was called… um… Exodus. I gueeess I can see the confusion.

    They did it a bit in episode 4, one of the reasons I dropped this series. Not a great sign when it's in a boss fight that's supposed to be one of your early hooks. I mean, it was probably the least offensive reason, but I have to admit I thought maybe the studio was finally starting to get a handle on their weirdo cinematography that apparently saw Gods of Egypt and decided it was the coolest idea ever to wildly spin the camera in action scenes just cuz you can do that with computers now.…

    The only time I spoil a movie on purpose is when I hate it so much I want to make sure no one gets tricked into watching it. I would love to spoil Gods of Egypt for that very reason. No one deserves to sit through that pile of non-movie. Problem is that I have no memory of the plot, so it is impossible to spoil. You could probably convince me that anything happened in that film and I would believe you. All I know is that it was so anti-immersive, that I ended up becoming painfully aware of…
