Meeting notes: these movies, not bad.
The Happening on HBO Max is the worst movie I will ever watch twice.

‘The Suicide Squad’ is a re-run.
Director James Gunn doesn’t seem to know whether the story exists to set up the jokes, or the jokes exist to set up the story.
‘Thief’ on HBO Max is a foundation and a capstone for Mann.
Mann is a cops-and-robbers philosopher with a camera…
