The Passengers trailer and confirmation of Scorsese's Silence spice things up a little. Overall I'd say this fall is super weak and lacks any dynamite must see films. October has some interesting looking thrillers, November has reliable franchises and December will 'member the death star.

Yet even the biggest Marvel and Star Wars' fans are just seeing these out of franchise loyalty. Guardians 2 and Episode 8 is what we really want. And while JK did write the Fantastic Beasts script, none of the footage has indicated it will be able to recapture the magic of Potter. Even the Oscar race is deflated this year, struggling to recover from front-runner Birth of a Nation's disqualification.

Meanwhile Q1 2017 is stacked with the likes of Baby Driver, John Wick 2 and The Dark Tower. Any one of those would bowl over this fall's puny offerings.

So am I right? Or is it just a poor season my particular taste?

Your taste.

I don't think you should go just by trailers. If a film sounds appealing on paper, that should be the most important thing.

I'm hella excited for Moana, I hope it can have great music and a great story, unlike Tangled which had a great story but just good music and Frozen which had great music but just a good story.

It seems good to me.

The Girl on the Train, The Accountant, The Magnificent Seven, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, American Pastoral, Hacksaw Ridge, Arrival, La La Land, Kidnap, Bleed for This, Nocturnal Animals, Desierto, In a Valley of Violence, and Allied all appeal to me.

Technically, apparently, Passengers and Silence are just outside of the fall window, which ends of 20th December. But even not including them, the Fall season looks pretty good.

Doesn't seem like your taste.

Any why not? Because there are no guns? Dude, it's a film about Tinseltown starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, from the director of Whiplash. If you know anything about my taste at all, you'll know that those four things are right up my alley.

I thought you did not really like romantic musicals.

I think it's safe to say you don't know Algren the way you think you do.

Everyone must be pigeon-holed.

I didn't think Algren would be interested in a very very gay-looking movie with James Franco and Christian Slater, but there you go.

Algren is no Maverikk.

Its actually one of the better Falls - perhaps not so much for the blockbusters but for all the mid size and smaller films - many of which have not disappointed regarding early festival reviews and such.

No, it looks amazing. Hacksaw Ridge, Arrival, Fantastic Beasts, Passengers, and all the quality Oscar contenders of course. It's the best time of the year.

Looks to be the best season of the year actually to me.

It is usually the best season of every year.

Lets face it - 90% of the year's must see films are released in the Sept-Dec(Jan platform) corridor.

Well Girl on the Train is apparently mediocre so we lose another of the few good ones. And the oscar race is still a snoozer.

Meanwhile Q1 2017 continues to pile it on with the announcement of Jordan Peeles horror movie, Get Out.

Sully, Deepwater, Mag 7, Don't Breathe, all pretty solid. This is not a bad fall by any means. Also, I doubt anyone of your Q1 2017 films will be better than anyone one of them.

27% RT, 49 MC for The Accountant. Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And now we must wait a month and hope that Arrival is good.

Because it doesn't matter if anything else is good until then?

Have you looked at the schedule?

Doctor Strange, Hacksaw Ridge, Jack Reacher 2, and Trolls all have potential to be at least decent.
