Gojira (1954) – anywhere from B+ to A

I don’t care for any of the sequels or reboots.

I may be in the minority, but I prefer Scarecrow’s original look in Batman: The Animated Series

over the straw-haired, wild-eyed, snaggle-toothed version they replaced it with.

Like metaphorically? As in masturbation?

No, I mean quite literally.

Fortunately, my low tolerance for pain won’t ever let me try anything like that.

There’s a D+?

I often imagine shooting or stabbing myself through the left hand.

Pretty good coming from you actually, is it part of your personal canon?

Generally, no. But like with TCW, there are characters and elements that I’m going to adopt and tailor for my own purposes (I rather like the idea of Rey being one of Luke’s children, for example).

I thought you weren’t going to see it because it was going to suck.

Yes, that was the initial irrational reaction. However, a week or so after said initial irrational reaction, you might recall I decided to adopt a cooler head and wait to see the movie before making my mind up on it.

Nominee? My posts will make it the winner!

^My own thoughts exactly.

2. Star Wars
3. Return of the Jedi
4. The Force Awakens
5. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure
6. Ewoks: The Battle for Endor
7. The Clone Wars
8. The Phantom Menace
9. The Star Wars Holiday Special
10. Attack of the Clones
11. Revenge of the Sith

There, the circle is now complete (until Rogue One rolls 'round).

There, I’ve done it – I finally seen this movie. My final thoughts?

I liked the production values, I liked the budding chemistry and banter between Rey & Finn, I liked BB-8, and I liked the Scottish & Asian smugglers Han briefly runs into before the rathtar scene. As for everything else, however? The First Order villains? The Starkiller plot device? The execution of Rey’s burgeoning Force powers? The lightsaber duel? It was all very – how shall I put this? – uncaptivating.

I didn’t hate this movie, but I didn’t like it either; once the Starkiller base reared its uninspired stratosphere, I rapidly fell into boredom and just couldn’t wait for the plot dominoes to fall in their predictable order and lead into the end credits.

Now that it’s out of the way, I have no intent or interest in ever seeing this movie again.

Fuck you, yhjgsdrfex.

As far as I’m concerned, the perfect live-action Batman film will never exist until this costume

makes its big screen debut – blue highlights, gray tights, trunks and all.

That being said, Batman '89 is pretty good for what it is (a mistitled Joker film with somewhat weak pacing) and Batman Returns has its moments, overbearing Burtonness and disgusting Penguin garbage notwithstanding.

Oh, and I suppose Batman Forever has its charms, too, few though they may be; I personally like Val Kilmer’s performance, the first suit-up scene (the one without the bat-butt) and Nygma’s riddles.

Lately I’ve been extremely preoccupied with thoughts of the past, so much so that I’m forgetting the future. I’m always thinking about how I would redo the past events I failed that resulted in tragic disaster.

I don’t recall hijacking your account and posting this.

Let’s see …

8 + 5 = 13

8 - 5 = 3

8 X 5 = 40

8 / 5 = 1.6

None of the above are correct, so feel free to choose whichever one catches your fancy.

Also, you’re allowing the contents of Homer’s mouth to distract you from his hilariously distended facial features.

Fret not, Frink. There’s more Bunny™ material yet to come.

Battle Jawa

The sun dipped low in the sky, tinting the sands of the desert a hot coral hue as it partially disappeared over the horizon. That is when the young man clad in a sharp black tuxedo appeared in the distant. Tall and lanky, he was still quite a handsome youth, with a strong chin, aquiline nose, piercing emerald green eyes, and short red hair combed back in a duck’s tail.

Walking slowly, at ease with the world and himself, he approached the young woman in the diaphanous white gown. This young woman was breathtakingly beautiful, with voluminous, wavy black hair, sultry blue eyes, a long, slender nose, full lips, and a delicate chin.

As the man spotted the woman and she him, they both froze. Taking each other in with their eyes, they seemed as if to slip into a limbo of sorts, a realm where time held no sway.

His mouth dropping slightly agape, the man raised his left arm, reaching out to the living vision before him.

“I see your true colours shining through. I see your true colours, and that’s why I love you.”

The woman smiled, the corners of her lips turning upward ever so slightly.

“So don’t be afraid to let it show,” he continued on. “Your true colours … your true colours … are beautiful …”

Raising her right hand, the woman took his wrist into her grasp. Tightening her hold ever so delicately, she gently tugged his arm towards her.

That is when she flicked out the stiletto blade she had been concealing in her other hand.

“I remember bridges!” she hissed, her facade of bliss discarded and replaced with the venomous countenance of a demoness. “I burn them to the ground!”

She then struck, driving the blade of the knife straight through his palm. Blood jetted forth from the wound in varicoloured shades and tints.

“My God!” he cried. “It’s full of rainbows!”
