Sheryl Crow was sexier as a brunette.

Doctor Strange (2016)

CONS

• Too much humour in unnecessary places. Strange has never been a humourous superhero; I don’t see why so many gags and slapslick had be incorporated into the plot.
• Too much Kung Fu.
• Not enough emphasis placed on Strange being an uncaring asshole prior to his accident.
• Dormammu’s atrocious design. Give me the featureless, flaming head from the comics any day.
• The eye makeup of Hannibal & co. It didn’t make them look creepy or sinister; it make them look like a troupe of emos with running mascara.
• Tilda Swinton.

PROS

• Everything else.

6/10

FTFM

two-fourths

Must be some Canadian thing.

It’s sexier than saying “half”.

I swore I’d never touch anything of the DCEU with a 100-kilometre-long pole, and here you guys are, making me consider reneging on that oath.

Damn you all. Damn you all to hell.

At least two-fourths of them must be hit-and-run posters seeking Myspleen invites.

the only script changing idea was to edit a scene the way it was written which proved the theatrical cut was vastly superior.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

I really liked the first half of the film, give or take twenty minutes. Then Lovecraftian beasties from beyond the universe must’ve broke through and started eating reality, 'cause this movie just went batshit insane, and not in a good way. On the lighter side of things, I haven’t read the book(s) this is based on; if I had, I’d probably have come away hating this movie rather than just bewildered by it.

6/10

“Jesus, man. You ought to shave your eyebrows and paint your hair gold if you’re gonna try to sell that spookhouse bullshit. Otherwise you’ll scare the children.”

Yeah. Fuck Homo habilis and the rest of those damn, dirty ape-men.

Being a Sith is far more than using the Dark Side; it’s being committed to it until the last sliver of life leaves a Sith’s body.

Precisely why the Sith from TPM-onward bore me.

I’m really saddened by how little activity there was. I and a couple others were very proactive about trying to spread it, but is seems the world does not care.

There are more important things to worry about in this world, really.

Frevious trigger warning.

WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME

Because you refused to punctuate a question with its eponymous mark.

Must be a Millennial thing.

Do you like any EU Sith?

Only the ones from Tales of the Jedi.

Just a question, but what colour was Leia’s first lightsaber? I know she got a blue one in the Dark Nest trilogy, but her original one is shown as being red on some book covers, but described as being “green-white” in the Thrawn trilogy. Did she change it?

IIRC, her first lightsaber was a green one gifted to her by Luke. Then she stopped using that one for awhile and temporarily used a blue lightsaber gifted to her by the ancient Jedi Vima-Da-Boda before the resurrected Palpatine used the Force to blow it up in her hands. Then apparently she built her own lightsaber in some short story I never read, and I think it was blue, too. Then in the Corellian Trilogy, Luke gave her another lightsaber as a gift, this one with a ruby blade. She apparently lost that one in some New Jedi Order book, but started using another red lightsaber of unknown origin right after that. Then came another lightsaber she built herself, which was blue again.

The red one is the best one and the only one that matters, of course.

I’m not saying I’m comfortable with or even willing to go there. But if it’s already been established that facts don’t work, continuing to use facts isn’t logical.

Saving Silverman (2001)

Myself c. 2002: This is a hilarious comedy! I’m gonna watch it again! It’s just that good!

Myself today: The only hilarious thing about this movie is my past opinion of it.

4/10

Was Jack Black ever funny? I’ve been wracking my brain to remember a role in which he was legitimately humourous as opposed to boorish and loud, and I’ve drawn nothing but a complete blank.

I remember the folks having some vinyl records lying around back when I was in kindergarten, but no player to play them on. Aside from that, I have had had no exposure to the format.

I guess that solidifies my status as a non-hipster, shitty glasses and hatred for the modern mainstream music industry and Hollywood notwithstanding.

If you’re trying to perplex me, you almost succeeded.

Never seen Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Saw some trailers for it, though; looks like world-shrinking pablum.

Neither of those threads are beautiful women.

I want to see a movie where the First Order builds the Quantum Annihilator, a superweapon capable of destroying entire universes. They’d go from universe to universe, destroying them for some reason, before a conglomerate of freedom fighters from millions of alternate timelines comes together to destroy the Quantum Annihilator. The resulting shockwave reverberates through the multiverse, altering most of the remaining universes, sparking off yet another reboot for the franchise.
