    Tetsuo: The Iron Man: I don't know if it's good, but it's certainly fascinating as a sort of 'fuck you, this is obtuse' film. 

    Films Watched: 26

    Watched that for a college class on Affect Theory. It was definitely something...

    In the same class, we watched Eraserhead, Human Centipede, The Thing, and we read from Chuck Palahniuk. It was a very...interesting class. :lol:

    It was never mentioned in any of the previous 7 movies that Jigsaw even has a nephew. That seems like a big deal. Ridiculous retcon.

    And could Jigsaw be any more of a two-faced hypocrite? He knew Anna killed her baby, and let her husband go crazy anyway. Jigsaw is as guilty of his death as Anna is. How about you expose her crimes, so her husband doesn't go crazy and kill himself, and then put her in a deathtrap.

    I never even thought of that angle, but you're absolutely right.

    So I finally decided to watch Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I didn't like the first couple episodes but I got into it after the first story wrapped up and they moved on. I have to say, Sabrina is kind of an asshole and I wasn't expecting that. Almost every crisis is her fault because she does things out of selfishness disguised as love for her friends. 

    Watched the final episode last night. While it was overall a good episode (and an entertaining show on the whole), the very last line ruined the finale entirely for me. Talk about 180'ing any character growth your main character developed. And what she wants to do is stupid on every conceivable level. 

  4. Finally got around to watching Batman v. Superman and Justice League. 

    Spoiler

     

    The former was actually quite enjoyable, except for Lex Eisenberg. 

    JL, however, was a complete, rushed mess. Like, if it weren't for the fact that I've watched Dragonball: Evolution, then JL would be the most rushed, cram-everything-we-can-into-this film I've ever seen. Nothing is developed at all. People are angry at one another for no reason, and then buddy-buddy in literally the next scene. Steppenwolf is as vanilla a villain as I've ever seen, and gets squashed in like four minutes when Supes comes back. And the whole movie I assumed was to set up Darkseid eventually coming to Earth, but then the teaser at the end hints at the Legion of Doom.

    Just a total, disorganized mess.

    Last night I was having trouble sleeping, so I gave the first episode of The Umbrella Academy a try. Beyond the dancing scene (especially Ellen Page's dancing) and the cool shot in the car at the end (non-spoiler), I didn't really get anything out of it.

    I'm addicted to it. I would definitely say don't give up on it yet. I just finished Episode 4 and Klaus is fucking superb in it.
