The Watch
Directed by Akiva Schaffer
Four everyday suburban guys come together as an excuse to escape their humdrum lives one night a week. But when they accidentally discover that their town has become overrun with aliens posing as ordinary suburbanites, they have no choice but to save their neighborhood – and the world – from total extermination.

This is the little-seen longer version of the 'Watch the Skies' featurette which played in theaters. #filmsky #wearenotalone youtu.be/c9LLaqFnf2E?...

positive · AI labelView post →Prime is the worst for this. Watching Frances Ha the other day and it flashes up the Watch Next option over half the screen during the last 30 seconds of the film. Not the credits, the concluding scene of the film. The Sheep Detectives instantly started playing instead of the credits.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching "The Watch" and though it had a few faults, it's still got the heart of Ankh-Morpork. Vimes' restoration, Lady Sybil kicks ass, and the rest of The Watch are wonderful. And some of the lines are killer! #WereGoingToNeedBeards #LotsOfBeards #TheWatch #DiscWorld #GNU #TerryPratchett
positive · AI labelView post →@lovemakeshare I listen to #TheWatch, a podcast from 2 working Hollywood scriptwriters. "Masterclass" is the exact terminology they have used. They also interviewed #TonyGilroy, showrunner of #Andor, several times in 2022.
neutral · AI labelView post →Which is to say I am in theory totally okay with wildly different adaptations of things I love. I am in the teensy tiny #GoodOmens unproduced movie script fandom. But also #TheWatch and #USGhosts and the #JemAndTheHolograms live action movie never existed in my personal reality so it's okay to ignore them.
neutral · AI labelView post →Horrible watch, won't watch again, and do not recommend. I'm not a big fan of Ben Stiller (most of the time), and definitely not Vince Vaughn. I like Jonah Hill, but this is after he found some range and before he learned to control it, intense doesn't not equate funny. I thought Richard Ayoade would save it, but he just stood by and watched the train wreck happen. I do chuckle a bit thinking of him asking the other guys if this is stuff Americans find funny. This has a great premise, average…
