Hey, thanks for asking!
I’ve been watching some old episodes of various incarnations of TO TELL THE TRUTH if they have an interesting guest. Like Chuck Norris when he was a baby. They had a special effects guy from the THE TOWERING INFERNO, which made me realize I had never seen that movie except bits and pieces here and there.
Well, at least now I’ve seen it. I recently watched an even worse Irwin Allen Paul Newman movie WHEN TIME RAN OUT.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen it before either.

I don't think I've seen this before.
So I guess now I’ve seen them
all.
What did you watch?
This is a multiday catch up. Over the last few days I watched:
Black Adam (4K disc) 2022 movie set in the DCEU starring Dwayne Johnson
as "Teth-Adam" who in ancient times is granted the powers of "Shazam" by
the Wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou)allowing him to become "Black Adam"
Turns out Black Adam isn't the nicest of guys and is imprisoned by the Wizard. Black Adam is awoken in present day by his oppressed people.
He then starts to kill all the bad guys. This prompts Amanda Waller
(Viola Davis) to send the Justice Society Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Doctor
Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), and Atom Smasher
*Noah Centineo), to deal with Black Adam. I like that when the Justice Society shows up the locals all immediately side with Black Adam. The locals point out that while they were being oppressed the Justice
Society stood back and did nothing, but the second they get their own
hero suddenly the Justice Society takes notice and decides to intervene.
It's an OK turn your brain off movie. I particularly like Hawkman and Doctor Fate. But where was the modern day Shazam?
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (4K disc) 2023 movie set in the DCEU starring Zachary Levi as Shazam and Asher Angel as the barely in the movie Billy Batson. Some ancient gods (Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu) declare war on humanity and it's up to the Shazam family to save the day. It's OK.
The Flash (4K disc) 2023 movie set in the DCEU starring Ezra Miller as
"The Flash." Flash time travels to change history to prevent his father from being convicted for the murder of his mother, but the change causes
a totally new timeline where Batman is still played by Mr. Mom. Now
Flash must stop the popular Flash villain, General Zod. Wait isn't Zod
a Superman villain? Whatever. Anyway Flash must not team up with
Batman and Supergirl (Sasha Calle) to stop Zod from destroying the
Earth. I actually like this movie, but it definitely has some major issues.
Blue Beetle (4K disc) 2023 movie set in the DCEU starring Xolo Maridue¤a
as a young man who gets hold of an alien Scarab that attaches itself to
him turning him into The Guyver, I mean Blue Beetle. Victoria Kord
(Susan Sarandon) wants the Scarab for herself and if she has to kill
Xolo to get it, she really doesn't have a problem with that. This is a
fun movie. And the Beetle's grandmother stole the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm9BGd7n7I4
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (4K disc) 2023 movie set in the DCEU
starring Jason Momoa as Lobo, I mean Aquaman. Aquaman drives around on
his motorcycle and does the haka dance. Are we sure he's not playing
Lobo? Anyway, Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) returns to try and
kill Aquaman which forces Lobo, I mean Aquaman to team up with his half brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) to save the day. The movie has issues, but it's watchable. It's just annoying going in and being aware of all the behind the scenes issues. For example, the movie originally had Batman,
all the scenes were filmed, then they decided to edit him out of the
movie. And as far as I can tell, they replaced Batman with a CGI
octopus. And I just noticed WB released 4 DCEU movies in the same year, then had the nerve to complain about low box office returns.

It's unclear. Both Keaton and Affleck are referenced as filming scenes.
This is part of the behind the scenes nonsense that was taking place
where WB couldn't make up their mind if they wanted to go forward with Keaton or Affleck. They filmed an entire Batgirl movie using Keaton,
then scrapped it. My guess is it would have been Keaton. Don't even
ask about the ending of The Flash and how that affects who would be
Batman going forward. The whole thing was a mess being played out in
front of the audience.

will be the new Batman in Gunn's rebooted universe or not. As of now,
it's not Pattinson, but Gunn has also said he's open to the idea.

Robert Pattinson is playing Batman in "The Batman Part II," which is scheduled for release in October 2027, according to Deadline. The film
will also feature Andy Serkis as Alfred and Jeffrey Wright as
Commissioner Gordon.

Earthquake! In Sensurround!
As a kid, I saw this in theater with the family; I've never bothered
to re-watch on tv. I did not see The Towering Inferno (by the way, it's adapted from two similar novels) in theater and I've seen it once on tv.
I am not a big fan of Irwin Allen disaster movies like The Towering Inferno but they typically had John Williams scores, so that's something. Irwin
Allen had no credit on Earthquake. John Williams was the composer on Earthquake.

I saw two sensaround films in the theater.
EARTHQUAKE.
They put all kinds of extra mini fridge size speakers up and down the
aisles. I was sitting right next to one. They never fired up once.
Obviously they were supposed to during the jackhammer sequence. There was
no other reason for it. But nothing.
Then I saw BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in the worst theater in town, the Cine Crappy. It ran an extremely audible rumble constantly through the entire film. It was very tiresome.

Yes. He typically composed music for Irwin Allen, especially the tv
series like Land of the Giants and Lost in Space and The Time Tunnel.
Other movies were The Poseidon Adventure. What am I forgetting?

Well, at least now I've seen it. I recently watched an even worse Irwin
Allen Paul Newman movie WHEN TIME RAN OUT.
I don't think I've seen this before.

Yes. He typically composed music for Irwin Allen, especially the tv
series like Land of the Giants and Lost in Space and The Time Tunnel.

I don't think I knew this. I have two different two-CD sets of John Williams music. I just double checked, and none of that is on either set.

Anything Irwin Allen or TV related.
The sets I have are the popular scores, Spielberg, Superman, Star Wars,
etc. One of them is Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999 and yet, nothing from
Irwin Allen. Maybe it's a writes thing. Perhaps Irwin Allen owns the rights to the music and won't let others sale it?
