"Good. Good. Do it. Give KPop Demon Hunters the Oscar. Give HUNTR/X their golden moment. HUNTR/X is the megastar K-pop girl group that the movie is about. It has three members: Rumi, Zoey, and Mira. They’re global K-pop idols. They also hunt demons."

I strongly suspect Joe Dante was told a Gremlins sequel would be made with or without him, by the corporate studio that owned the rights to his creations. So he took the money, and made that studio the butt of the joke.
Except that unlike Matrix Regurgitated, which is a dumpster fire where pointless ideas go to die - to salt the earth and prevent a repeat I suspect - Gremins 2: The New Batch is a masterwork of anticorporate satire.
(1/?)
Project Hail Mary, from Goddard and the directing team of Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, is a little like Interstellar but with the Spielbergisms turned up to 11. It is the most perfectly crowd-pleasing movie I’ve ever seen in my life: the comedy is carefully calibrated to generate laughs on demand; the emotional well it draws from is deep and produces tears with precision; and it’s smart without feeling preachy or condescending. Indeed, it’s so successful I almost dismissed it as manipulative while I was watching it. And then I realized that if I was being manipulated, I didn’t really care. ...
[Rocky's] like a precocious scamp in craggy form. The little rock creature is like TARS crossed with E.T. and filled with the Tasmanian Devil’s energy; he’s the most enchanting puppet1 in a live-action film . . . maybe ever? It’s almost unfair how much Goddard, Lord, and Miller make us care about this walking, talking pile of rocks; every choice they make doesn’t just work, it pulls us further into the world of the film, gives us greater emotional resonance.

I always remember Jesse Ventura from Predator. So many good quotes.
"This will male you a sexual Tyrannosaurus."
"Dug in like an Alabama tick."
"I ain't got time to bleed!"
