Quote from: Warboss Squee;1034402I like the actress, but the character is straight out of a soap opera. She exists, imo, to do one thing and one thing only. Make whichever situation they're in worse.

That was pretty much Smith in the original too.

Planets going to blow up? Smith sells all the Deuterium for an elixir. Trade off occasionally with Will's curiosity or trust getting them in a fix somehow.

I'm just amazed there's not more curiosity about the alien death-bot. They just sort of let it wander around, with no real interest in the first alien thing ever found, much less a robot with a wide array of powers.

And yeah, i'm liking the new Smith, too, even if she is a total maniac. I wonder just how long the writers can plausibly cover up the fact this character is pure psycho. The "old" Smith was a worm, but the new one is murderous and crassly manipulative to an extraordinary level

A nice education blog.

I really loved the after-credits scenes in Deadpool 2.

This movie was extremely silly. I know it's a comic book story, but I couldn't take it seriously. I'll have to think about why it's tripping my silly-o-meter when something like Ant-Man didn't.

Could be the setting of Wakanda itself. Its allways been a little odd with its superscience theme.

Not a movie, but theres a new Thundercats cartoon out. Its about as far removed from the original in art style as you can get.

And now theres a new Rocky and Bullwinkle show that just looks horrible.

Also really not liking the new Ducktakes art.

What with these massive downgrades in art?

Bumblebee trailer just dropped.

As a big Transformers fan, who had hopes that the live action movies would be good, and was severely disappointed in the way Michael Bay treated the franchise, I'm hoping this movie will be decent.

Just caught Hell House LLC on Prime. Found footage horror movie, something I'm not usually a fan of. This one was genuinely creepy as fuck, though, even though they telegraph the final shock pretty badly towards the end.

Watched Savageland over the weekend on Amazon Prime.  Great low-budget fakeumentary about a town on the border of the US and Mexico that gets brutally massacred.  It's got an unnatural twist to it and the some of the "photos" of the event are downright frightening.

I caught this yesterday, but I didn't like it nearly as much as Hell House LLC. It was plenty disturbing but not scary per se-- just sadder.

I watched Dunkirk. I don't know. Based on all the previews and reviews, I expected a really good movie. It was ok. Some scenes were well done, but overall, the movie just wasn't that interesting.

Dunkirk felt really dull to me. I was hoping for something with a bit of excitement and a lot of tension (IOW, most of the old war movies I've liked) but this never delivered on either.

I'm watching a very good German science fiction movie free on Amazon Prime called Cargo Space Is Cold. I'm about 20 minutes in on it and I am hooked. The only downside is that I can't seem to find this movie on DVD anywhere.
"Meh."

I'm dying to see Mandy... From the director of Beyond the Black Rainbow I believe.
