That movie is such a hot mess.  A real turn-off-your-brain kind of film.  I sort of liked it for what it was.  Its main redeeming feature is that it had a hell of a strong finish.

See, if people knew how to succinctly put their message like this... I think it would go a long way towards an important dialogue of how "feminism" actually is ruining media. And I use that word in quotations because I don't believe it actually has anything to do with, and should be associated with, feminism as it is just a phrase idiots latched onto to justify their bigotry and stupidity.


Unfortunately it's generally not put so clearly, and more than likely most "SJWs" would/will ignore it anyways.

Lego Movie, Part 2 - 9.5/10

I keep forgetting that that's a thing. At first, I was like, "Part 2? Does he mean the Lego Batman movie?"

PIERREPOINT:  THe HANGMAN
A British Biographical account of Albert Pierrepoint, who's career as a hangman spanned the 1930s and into the 1950s in England and required him to hang 608 convicts and several Nuremberg  Nazis.  It was deeply disturbing, but not because he was a psycho.  He was not at all.  He was  highly efficient carrying out his  tasks quickly and cleanly to minimize suffering, both physically and psychologically.  Still the process was extremely grotesque in the way the hanging was done with such serious mechanical efficiency.  He could walk into the holding cell, tie, and escort the prisoner into the gallows chamber, and have him dead on an average time of 14 seconds.  He was considered England's best executioner of that time.

I dismissed this one too when I saw the trailers, but it was actually pretty good. I actually went and saw it because, as sad as it sounds, I heard someone say it was the "most accurate Batman movie." Accuracy being to the comics, of course. After seeing it myself, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh... I wouldn't say it's the most accurate, especially if you consider the straight to video movies that were basically ripped right from the comics. This here is basically a parody movie, and its an entertaining one. If you liked the character of Lego Batman from the Lego movie, you'll probably like the movie.

Finally got around to watching Game of Thrones. Interesting enough but I don’t grasp the fanaticism that many attached to it.

I'm doing the same thing, although I followed the first season and part of the second when it first started, but actually lost interest during the second.  Never the less, I'm at it again, because it seems to be the most talked about series I never watched.  I find it more or less interesting, but it's nothing like Dexter or Breaking Bad, which I binge watched taking in several episodes a day, all the while holding onto my chair with white knuckles.

I should caution all involved that if you love the series during seasons 3 and 4, you might not like all of what you find in seasons 5 and 6.  Seasons 7 is a bit of a mess and season 8 will almost certainly leave a bitter, bitter aftertaste.

In sum:  "A man who enjoys honeyed locusts may find his appetite changed after one bad experience"

I think Game of Thrones was applauded for its realism. I mean, you have magic, zombies, and dragons, but as far as the writing style goes, it was very unpredictable and dark. Characters would just get killed off suddenly, with little to no build up. When you think it's going to follow a common trope, it pulls the rug out from under you. Just like in real life, there are no happy endings. Buuuuuuut for me, the feel of the show started to change in season 7, and I don't know why. I mean, there's one time a guy is about to be roasted alive by a dragon, and he's saved last second, pushed into the water. That kind of Deux Ex Machina seemed very out of place. And the whole season was full of convenient moments like that that just made the show feel just a little bit off.

And then season 8 came along and...woo boy. It blew season 7's convenient contrivances out of the water. There's a huge battle, wiping out nearly the whole army of good guys, and it ends when someone manages to somehow sneak past an army of White Walkers, all facing them, so they can get a killing blow on the head walker, killing all the rest. Wow. How convenient. And then, despite having their whole army wiped out, they immediately march again to the next battle. WTF? Where did all these new people come from? And then the thing that killed a dragon in a previous season is suddenly completely ineffective? And the ending? My god. How painfully predictable. The show turned into something completely different from what made it popular in the first place.

The darkness was apparent early on, when who I thought was going to be the hero of the story was killed off.  Yeah, that left a bitter taste, and may have been part of the reason I lost interest.
