Just watched the first two Episodes. Gotta say: I liked it! But then again, I'm a fan of Rhea Seehorn and like Sci-fi. Interesting setup so far.

It's a great feel-good movie. Yes, the "switch lives" thing has been done many times before, and even with angels involved. ("It's a Wonderful Life", etc., etc.). But still, this works.

Brutal dystopian film of a marathon walking contest following the "war" and economic collapse of the USA. In some ways reminds me of "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969), but turned up to 11. You know what's going to happen... they TELL you what's going to happen... but it's the journey, not the destination that makes this a good watch. Again, please note that it is brutal in its violence, so not for the emotionally sensitive.

Watched this on Oct 31st (naturally) as we live in an area without a lot of trick-or-treaters... Here is the thing: This truly COULD have been a great Halloween movie, but Adam Sandler ruined it by doing a seriously off-putting voice for his character. Yeah, I get it, Hubie is a character "on the spectrum"... but a whole film that seems to literally make fun of that and the harassment that those individuals with cognitive challenges often suffer? Very NOT funny. If he took his characterization a bit more seriously (without that voice and facial tics) it really would have been a much better film. And it is a shame as all the other actors really did an outstanding job in their roles (Seriously! Just LOOK at all the names in this flick!). This and "Eight Crazy Nights" are two of Sandler's worst films. Summary: You may enjoy this is you are the type that likes pulling wings off of flies and watching them die.

I wrote how Freedom of Speech is in the USA, as it deals with actions to and of the government. What gets overlooked is the WHY of Free Speech. One needs to look at two documents: The Constitution of the USA (CUSA) and the Bill of Rights (BOR). The CUSA was not just about declaring the colonies independent, but an INDITEMENT of actions that were seen illegal by the King of England. It listed those inditements & also listed the reasons and the moral imperatives that led to the USA becoming its own entity. But it is the BOR (the amendments ratified to the CUSA 25 years later) that actually list the rights one has & the expectations of a citizen in the USA. SUMMARY: As the King trampled "god given" rights, the CUSA said nuts to that... and then the BOR said how the USA will be different. And the King is why Amendment #1 has to do with speech...... (note: Pro-Trump folks may wish to re-read the CUSA & see how well Don is tracking the actions of King George. It's eye-opening.)

@Raf - As to the user, that was my own assessment. I do not speak on behalf of the community. Nor did I ask that he be banned (at least I did not, this time... and likely won't the next time ether. He's like a bad penny.) As to "X", yes, correct. And Elon has been known to ban users that called him out. Next subject - Laws and ordinances vs rights - two very different things: You have the RIGHT to gather with like-minded people and have a peaceful assembly, even if it is a protest. // It is a LAW that there needs to be several accessible exit doors in theatres that are clearly marked to ensure that people get out safely in case of fire. And finally: Trump. there is not enough space here to write how the rights and laws in the USA are being destroyed right now. It's Game Over. Pax Americana is toast. Learn Chinese.

@raf - The suggestion was made because a particular user was having (quite literally) a psychotic meltdown. It was sad to watch / read... and honestly had NOTHING to do with this site, its content, or use. And because running to the admin and saying: "Hey, ban this lunatic" is a real PITA for the admin (and quite honestly the actions of an 8-year-old tattletale), then the community itself can downvote and moderate. Same thing as shunning a drunk uninvited jerk at a party. They get the clue after a while... or are finally shown the door. (as did happen in this case)

@raf - That is NOT what the First Amendment protections are about. The protections are of Religion, Speech, Press and Peaceful Assembly as related to and actions by THE GOVERNMENT. The government may not make a law to regulate those items (or to give preference to one), nor can they penalize a person for exercising them. And that is as it relates to the actions of the GOVERNMENT ONLY. I cannot slander an individual and expect to get away with it. I cannot yell FIRE in a crowded theater, as it threatens public safety. If I engage in hate speech, then there are legal consequences, and EXPECIALLY in the workplace there is absolutely no freedom of speech. Finally, there is absolutely NO freedoms when it comes to private property. This is why airports are such locked down places. So, a web page (WSM or Facebook or whatever) are NOT public forums. They are private property and can be regulated by the moderators (or community) as they wish.

@admin - darn it! I forgot to mark my previous comment as "send as new comment". MY SUGGESTION: The WatchSoMuch community could self-moderate by having a bot remove a comment if it hits a combined total of -20 downvotes. That way it's not more work for @admin, and the spam and topics way off topic can go away without banning an individual. AND (as @bohan did), I welcome others to comment on this idea. Because I think that it could work. No need to ban or punish someone... but if the community as a whole thinks that something is not suited for this site, then they will get the message after a few comments just disappear.

@bohan - if that is what you want to do with your day then sure, you could. Generally, I wouldn't think most people would bother. One vote is usually plenty. And if you do that to "them", well, then they could also do that to you! Of course, that would leave more of the comments about movies untouched. Which is cool with me, because I have found some really great content from comments left by other users. But, Considering the spam advertising that shows up, and some of the wild comments that just makes new users of this website cringe, it could be useful. People tire of stupid s#it. (yes, maybe even my own, admittedly. lol ) They come here for videos, streaming and a way to save money and not pay it to millionaires and billionaires. Thanks for the comment!

Better editing could have saved this flick. But as it is, it's a mess. If you want to have something on in the background, then this is something.
