I feel like Space Jam is one of those movies that I better remember with my younger eyes and never rewatch 😅.

For Only Murders in the Building I think I accepted that it would just be a quirky display of cameos this season and I'm still really enjoying it. It's one of my favorite cosy, fun thing to watch after a long day at work.

That might be a wise decision re: Space Jam! 😂

Look, "Space Jam 2" is lousy, and somehow inferior to the first film.

But here's the thing about LeBron and Jordan's acting. LeBron gives a bad performance. The movie around him is awful and he's just another bad element.

Jordan, I think, gives a NON-performance, which is something different. I don't think he's ever really trying. Yes, the effects were more primitive back then but still -- I think from Jordan's sight line that he has no idea to what he should be doing, what he's supposed to be reacting to. James at least gets this right.

As it was on the court, James shows more talent. Jordan maximizes his more.

Interesting. I’m always going to view this movie through nostalgia-tinted lenses though. I found the second movie near unwatchable.
