This one is pretty late.
Duologies!
And it's only half of what was on the list.
And....it's gonna be the last one.
I needed these marathons to keep sane in the early days of the pandemic, and to replace my theater going.
I don't need it now, I'm doing pretty good.
I've got a vision for my future now.
Anyway here's those, cuz I didn't watch those movies for nothin!
Shining duology-
(The Shining (1980))
(Doctor Sleep (2019))
Original reviews.
Glorious!
Like bingeing a miniseries.
I wish I was watching them again right now.
These are gonna have high re-watch value for me.
IT duology-
(IT (2017))
(IT: Chapter Two (2019))
Original reviews.
-IT
Almost as fun a binge as the Shinings, but part 2 of these is a bigger drag factor.
Still good though.
Conan duology-
(Conan The Barbarian (1982))
(Conan The Destroyer (1984))
Original reviews.
My assessment in those old reviews hasn't changed much.
First one, epic masterpiece; second one, huge step down, but the humor is good.
Sadly, this will always be a duology, we're never gonna see "King Conan".
It's a goddamned shame too.
Drago duology-
(Rocky IV (1985))
(Creed II (2018))
Original reviews.
OMFG!!! This double-feature WORKS!! LIKE!!! GANGBUSTERS!!!!!!
Marathon these RIGHT!! FUCKING!! NOW!!!!
DOOOOO EEEEETT!!!
Bill & Ted Duology-
(Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989))
(Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991))
Original reviews.
I binged these to build up to "Face The Music".
Obviously, these aren't a duology anymore, they're a trilogy.
But, they were on the list long before "Face The Music" came out, I just took too fucking long getting to it.
Webb-Spidey duology-
(The Amazing Spider-Man (2012))
(The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014))
Original reviews.
To finally fill in the missing bits after the Raimi trilogy.
Oh, and I caught Spidey 3 on Starz, so I'm all good there now.
Naturally, I also re-watched these, cuz MCU-Spidey 3 is gonna merge/cross the timelines, making these canon.
Needed a refresher.
Yeah, I stand by that these feel more like 80's Spidey, while the Raimis are silver age.
MCU-Spidey duology-
(Spider-Man Homecoming (2017))
(Spider-Man Far From Home (2019))
Original reviews.
Well, these are already MCU canon, but this time, I was looking for multiverse clues.
FFH dabbles the most in this.
But they're playing their cards pretty close.
Good to have 'em fresh in my mind for when Spidey 3 comes out, anyway.
Guardians duology-
(Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014))
(Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 (2017))
Original reviews.
No special continuity reasons, these are just fucking good.
West-Batman (animated) duology-
(Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders (2016))
(Batman vs Two-Face (2017))
Original reviews.
I had more DC on the list, but my interest in this whole project waned as more important stuff demanded attention in my mind.
But, I'm glad I worked these in, these are fun.
And they picked me up off the floor in a particularly dark time.
So, hey, if you've still got some Trump and/or covid trauma, maybe Adam West can help.
These are technically a trilogy if you combine them with the live-action movie.
But, screw it, it's my list, so in they go.
And, that's those!
All done!
