• THE LIFE OF CHUCK (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@3:633/10 to All on Sat Oct 17 13:50:51 2026

    Chuck is a nondescript businessman whose unexplained appearance on
    various public media is mysterious. THE LIFE OF CHUCK is written and
    directed by Mike Flanagan from a Stephen King novella. Like most of
    King's own work, its appeal is its style rather than in its ambitious
    insight. Fortunately, it brings plenty of the former. Recommended.

    Took a minute but now I remember the movie. Enjoyable little affair.

    Oddly, Metacritic's spectrum is unusually polarized.

    You should look up the show. It's an enjoyable comedy and it has the
    lovely Yvonne Strahotski on it as a extra benefit.

    From the same era as Jake 2.0 and Reaper (with Andi, or was she Andy?)

    The guy playing Chuck did the mediocre Captain Marval/Shazam, then did
    its dreadful sequel, and hasn't been seen.

    I miss action babes who actually looked like they were fighting. Yvonne
    was one of the best, plus Gina Torres.

    Andy, I think. I do wish we got more of REAPER.

    Gina was/is built like she could actually put up a good fight unlike
    many of the women they chose for action shows.

    That's why it always pissed me off how much shit Jessica put up with
    from Harvey!
