Finished cleaning my place yesterday morning, and then had family come to town, so I didn't get through much yesterday:
I(We) watched a couple of the Pierce Brosnan-Bond movies off Pluto TV's "007" channel. (Sidenote: When I first discovered Pluto TV, years ago, it had a Bond channel. But it quickly disappeared back then. I'm expecting the same again - I'll bet Pluto will have a "007" channel for the holidays, but I bet it's gone by the New Year).
I'm quite sure I saw "Die Another Day" in the theater. I can't remember if I saw "The World Is Not Enough" in the theater - I'm sure I must have, but I don't remember it... Anyway, these were a fine way to pass the time.
In the evening, I did get home and watch:
Cruel Intentions 3 (Tubi) - This 2004 third and final film in the series is also leaving Tubi in mere days, so I decided to get to it now.
FTR, this one is a true, though kind of tangential, "sequel" to the original film - Kathryn is explicitly referenced (she's the main character's cousin), and Sebastian is indirectly referenced as being dead.
As I remembered, it is generally underwhelming, and also off-putting (this one includes a rape from a genuine psychopath which I thought generally ruined the whole thing).
The best part is probably Kristina Anapau, playing the lead(?), Kathryn Merteuil's cousin, Cassidy - she at least brings some evol! gusto to the role.
The top-billed lead is Kerr Smith who brings his usual brand of sleepy smarminess to the role.
The third lead, Nathan J. Wetherington, looked familiar, though I'm not sure what else I've seen him in. He plays the true psychopath.
The secondary cast includes several people I've never seen before, but does include Natalie Ramsey (from "Beyond the Break") as one of Kerr's budding conquests, and Tom Parker as her boyfriend.
This includes what I'd call "incidental" naked nudity, and none from the leads or main secondary cast.
As per usual, I especially didn't like the ending of this one, which basically serves as one giant reset button, and shows the characters (esp. Anapau's) had learned nothing after ostensibly doing a good dead.
It's little wonder that this film series ended here.
