IDK I guess he was older in that movie or out of shape.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If Paul Newman in the mid-1970s made you give up watching what was a crap movie, I don't know what to tell you.

The intro features a helicopter flying for so long that I started hallucinating fun ways in which it could fly to make me laugh.
Then we finally arrive at the tower, and the interiors are so ugly that it's no wonder the fires just start spontaneously.
And then we see Paul Newman shirtless. He's not exactly the type you want to see topless which is a bit strange since he was considered a sex symbol. He has this big head with those big blue eyes, but a stickman's body. So it's like he doesn't know how to act shirtless and is trying to draw attention with his expressive face from his skinny body. And that's when I gave up.
Never seen it.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Two ancient titans, Godzilla and Kong, clash in an epic battle as humans unravel their intertwined origins and connection to Skull Island's mysteries.
Regarding the mention of
Hollow Earth and the girl from the Iwi tribe in this movie, I get the impression I missed a movie in the series.

Alright, I saw Towering Inferno, and I would recommend it as ridiculous trash. Consider the opening scene, where Paul Newman enters his office after arriving by helicopter. He immediately has sex with some woman who just happens to be in the office in the double bed he has there because architects are that fatal.
He then inspects the "boxes with electric wires" he finds throughout the building and finds that they are defective. It goes without saying that architects hardly comprehend quality of wires, and since architects are regularly on construction sites, he would have noticed that they were defective if he had been knowledgeable about electrical wiring. Additionally, before the buildings are permitted to be used, they must pass a technical inspection.
But then the movie turns into your usual survival movie reminiscent of the Poseidon Adventure, Jurassic Park and etc.

The first 5 minutes of A Christmas Story. Narrators voice made me cringe.
