  1. I would love to see them stick to the single stories that aren't starring Batman and Superman. Just have them cameo and don't focus on the actors playing them. The next Batman movie needs to be scrapped until they have a clear vision with this company. 

  2. So I just rewatched Captain America: Civil War and noticed a couple of things I didn't before.

    1. Captain America beats Spider-Man in a test of strength. When Spidey webs his hands and they both start pulling Cap actually sends him flying. Now Cap is nowhere near the strength of Spider-Man so I think this is due to a couple of things. Cap uses leverage by flipping to gain momentum and Peter has only had his powers for six months so he doesn't know the extent of them yet.

     2. Wakanda is one of the signers of the Sokovia Accords, yet T'Challa runs around breaking them the whole movie and at the end even hides an enhanced fugitive. This wouldn't matter except everyone knows who he is and doesn't say anything. He took his mask off in front of about a dozen people and everyone keeps referring to him as "your highness" while he is in his Black Panther outfit. Then there is the whole time during Black Panther that he is running around using his powers in another country to apprehend a fugitive. The accords are still in effect so he shouldn't be doing that.  I understand he is a King but wouldn't someone like Ross be throwing a fit about it?

  3. So I finally sat down and watched the first season of Broadchurch. I wish I hadn't waited so long as that was some of the best acting I've seen in my life. Jodie Whittaker in particular was amazing and David Bradley made feel emotions I didn't think Mr. Filch from Harry Potter could make me feel. It was a little basic mystery trope heavy and I guessed the murder around the halfway point but it was a beautiful show. There were some things I didn't understand because I'm American but it was pretty easy to figure out from context what they were talking about. If I remember correctly there was an American version that I kind of want to check out just to see how bad they screwed it up.

  4. Anna and the Apocalypse: If Shaun of the Dead and High School Musical had a baby this is what it would look like. Such a weird movie. Most of the musical numbers are catchy, but so much of the story happens off screen that it took me out at times. 

    Captain Marvel: It wasn't bad by any means, but really generic. It is the color by numbers of Marvel films. The fact that it had a female lead is the only thing different about it.

    The Dark Crystal: Despite loving Jim Henson and fantasy films, I have somehow went my entire life without seeing this. It's very visually wonderful. I'm less enamored with the story but it's also an 80s fantasy film so it is what it is.

    Did you know Netflix is making  a prequel series?
