I have a very similar take on The Rip! I love movies in that genre, and I was excited to see these two back at it again. really loved the supporting cast, too—all very good actors who were a pleasure to watch. I appreciated the "whodunnit" aspect and the twists and turns toward the end. when it was over I basically thought: that was fun, entertaining, I liked it, and it was kinda flat. not much meat on the bone. I didn't regret watching it, but I didn't savor it, either.
Yup. Should also note that early on when we see shirtless Affleck, Christina shouted, "Now we're talking!" Didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm pretty sure that was a body double / AI / basically not Ben because dudes over 50 just don't have abs like that.
Same feelings about Air. Not bad. But my main thing was, do we really need a story about a shoe? I mean, the shoe sold like hot cakes, but I'm not a huge fan of movies that tell the story behind successful products. Flops, on the other hand, would be much appreciated. Where's my movie about New Coke?
The Rip was a great afternoon watch. I appreciate you pointing it out. It's really hard to find anything decent on Netflix and this one was.
To my mind, what streaming has done to TV is to make it a regular part of my life. In the old days watching something over the years made it difficult to follow. Especially when you were doing 2 to 20 other series. Now I can wait until it's over and then watch it over a month. I'm doing Game of Thrones right now. Never had a desire to spread that over 8 years.

I love the Big Sleep gif!
1. Not yet — now I will.
2. Good Will Hunting of course.
3. I dunno - Air? Nah, that wasn’t bad.
4. Joe who?

There’s always “Tucker.”
It's been years since I saw Tucker, but remember liking it.
Same.
