Is "Bad Times at the El Royale" worth watching?

answer: Yes, but it's no masterpiece. (talking about this movie called "Bad times at the El Royale")
- the perspective is pretty nice, it goes back and forth from the past of every character to the present;
- the acting is good mostly (Jeff Bridges);
- great singing from Cynthia Erivo; 
- the ending could have been better, it leads to a climax that just doesn't rise to the occasion;
- decent quotes:

 "Shit happens, get the whisky.

 This is not a place for a priest, Father. You shouldn't be here.

 He talks so much he thinks he believes in something, but really just wants to fuck who he wants to fuck.

 I always wanted to stay in the honeymoon suite, even though I'm not currently on my honeymoon."

Jewish jokes

1 . A Jew gets to heaven after passing and meets god. The Jew tells god a Holocaust joke, but god doesn't laugh. The Jew shrugs and says, "I guess you had to be there to understand".  or Me: "Man, I am so well rested." Friend: "How well did you sleep?" Me: "Like God during the holocaust" or  Hitler goes to a fortune teller and asks her what day he'll die. The fortune teller says "You will die on a Jewish holiday." Hitler says angrily, "Which holiday is that?" The fortuneteller smiles and says "Any day you die will be a Jewish holiday day". or An old Jew is dying, all the family gathered at his bed and he says he's got a one, final wish: a two sugar tea. The oldest son wonders why with two sugars and the old Jew replies: because at home I always had with one, when visiting others with three but I like tea with two sugars.  2 .  On his deathbed an old jew says yo his wife: O...

Clasic quotes from games

In no particular order, in my opinion these are some of the most classic quotes from video games (of course the best one is the last one): 1. "I still think about that field. Every day. I'd almost stopped looking - started giving into hope that Matteo had escaped. And then ... He never got older. And here I am, still. Who decides such things? " Luca, Battlefield 1 2. "The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone. I mean, you may think to yourself that you're happy. But you don't really believe it. You focus on the petty bull ****, or the next job, or whatever. It's only looking back by comparison with what comes after that you really understand, that's what happiness felt like. " Kellogg, Fallout 4 3.  "We all make choices in life, but in the end our choices make us ." Andrew Ryan, Bioshock 4. "No gods or kings. Only man." Andrew Ryan, Bioshock 5.  "...

Chernobyl quotes

Loved the series? You will also love these few quotes: Legasov: "To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for the truth, we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it. But it is always there, whether we see it or not,, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants. It doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?" Legasov: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn't matter who the heroes are. All we want to know it: Who is to blame?" ...
