Know how you feel, I saw the ST Voyager finale on cable and felt like Time Warner owed me three dollars for that waste of time.

Tried to watch the Joss Whedon Much Ado About Nothing the other night. Man Elizabethan English is tough when you don't have the text right in front of you.

lmao, I know

I think that says it all.

Saw Mockingjay, liked it, not as much as first two but hoping the last installment is better.

Watched an ol black & white starring Bob Hope..."The Lemon Drop Kid" was great, highly recommend.

LEGO Batman: The Movie.

It was solid, but I think I was expecting too much. It's nowhere near as awesome as The LEGO Movie.

None of the straight-to-video LEGO movies are anything like THE LEGO Movie. It's like black-and-white TV versus Hi-def color.

Did I mention seeing Perfect Blue back in October? I saw Perfect Blue back in October. It was good but it ticked me off because part of its premise didn't make sense.



In the end I just had to go with it and it was OK.

Grumpy Cat's A very Grump Christmas
Wow so many fourth wall jokes aimed squarely at TERRIBLE LIFETIME FILMS, the stupid people who buy Grumpy Cat merchandise, and the parts of the film that SHOULD LOGICALLY HAPPEN but don't because the producers still had money to burn in the budget. Animals in this world seem to communicate telepathically but a wish made by a 13 year old girl who's also a social pariah allows her to hear Grumpy Cat. Aubrey Plaza is the voice of Grumpy Cat and I fell out of my seat laughing at the deadpan way she delivered some of her lines.

Steel.

Yes. I said Steel.

See, my masochistic desire to re-watch some of the worst DC has had to offer as of late brought this to mind. Of course, my attempt to view the frittata Iron Man was somewhat hindered by the fact that it isn't available on Netflix in any capacity. Insane, since there's so many terrible movies one can get there, but "Steel" was apparently where they drew the line.

Now I was incensed. You can't tell me I can't watch "Steel"! By Gods, I'm now gonna find this piece of #### and watch it. To blazes with whomever gets in my way! So I went to one of the last few video rental stores here in town and found it, buried and hidden away in their superhero section.

The weirdest part was that when I brought the DVD up to the counter, the clerk asked "Are you the guy that called earlier about this?" I replied no, agog in the realization that there are two people out there looking to watch "Steel" and I am one of them.

The quality of the DVD? Not good, but it played nonetheless.

It is still adorable in its badness. In no way an epic motion picture, and most of the jokes were directed less at Shaq and more at Ray J.

I'm still trying to figure out if Annabeth Gish's character was supposed to be a homage to Oracle, or if it's just coincidence that a character with the disability is good with computers. Like a growing trope or something.

Watched Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.

It was an ok popcorn movie. Not long on plot.

Reminded me of the Rundown. The Rock, "I don't use guns." Then picks up the machine gun and mows down entire village of baddies.

Jack Ryan, "I'm just an analyst." The delivers an hour of over the top action, a la James Bond.

And that's a wrap on round 2. The trilogy begins anew!
