The paws report: Bad times at the el royale

Well, this looked to be a much quirkier and interesting movie in the trailer than it did in reality.  That's the trouble with trailers.  It can take a 2 hr. movie (maybe longer?) and condense it into a two minute clip that looks fun, crazy, perhaps exciting.  About all these people who you assume are going to be coming together to do a bunch of crazy things - looks like a fun afternoon delight to me.  But it was just an average afternoon - the popcorn was pretty good.  So here was the problem - they hired a writer, or an editor that just could seem to "tighten up, let's do the tighten up" as Archie Bell would say. 2 paws.
