That was my basic issue with it more or less. My usual description of that stuff is something along the lines of “it feels like the series begins in the middle of a thing, as if we’ve been previously introduced to people and should as such understand why they’re doing stuff and that we should care up to that level.”…

Having vaguely forgotten Kevin Sorbo’s backstory in the original movie, I find it amazing now how that one can now seemingly serve as a sequel to his 2017 movie Let There Be Light. In that one he goes from Obnoxious Atheist to Upstanding Christian thanks to seeing his kid (that died of cancer, of course) during a…

I liked that. Although I allowed myself to be distracted often, so it felt like I couldn’t keep up with finer details, but the overall experience was nice. I do enjoy horror-y things in remote areas. Even without the threat of spooky monsters, being trapped out in the middle of a bunch of ice is pretty depressing on…

I don’t even mind the nebulous nature of people being turned into zombies. As long as stuff keeps happening, I’m fine. It’d just be nice if people were less stupid about other things. Seems like keeping SOMEONE on basic guard duty in case anyone suddenly died would’ve made sense. It’s not like that can’t happen. But…

Maybe? I went in hoping for something other than what it provided, wasn’t happy at first, and then was won over by how weird and melodramatic it can get. I believe it’s even managed to be GOOD during various chunks of time. It’s just the matter of discarding what you might think would make a good pre-Batman Batman…

I’ll stick with some variation on what I just said about an hour ago in the season thingy. Not quite getting me invested yet, but who knows with these things. I thought I could write Agents of SHIELD off early in the first season, and that’s become one of my favorite comic shows. Similarly, I thought Gotham was going…

Having only gotten through about 40 minutes, the show’s not quite grabbing me. But then, it’s just getting started. I spent most of Gotham’s first season, and perhaps the second as well willing to write it off as never capable of doing enough right to justify its continued existence, and then it managed to do actually…

Eh, I’m willing to score it higher. Mostly based on not being My Struggle I/II. I expected potential for disaster on a much higher level, so what we got worked for me. Not perfect by any means, but good enough. Ish. I do continue to wonder if they ever explained why Reyes was working for CSM, because if they did I…

How many properties does this now make with an alien race called the Precursors that are either evil or probably evil? It feels like a billion.

“This thing came apart.” - The Killer, while crushing Donkeylips’ head with his/her bare hands. Alternately, some form of dismemberment.

If this nets me a Blu-ray collection of the three Carnosaur movies, I’ll be a very happy boy indeed. Especially if Raptor can land a spot too, as it would feel somewhat wrong to have the others and not the Frankenstein’s Monster cobbled together out of footage recycled from all three and Eric Roberts.

It’s been weird for me, as I’ve been to two different locations in the past month or two for exclusive “we won’t let you order these online, ha HA ha” Funko Pops, and now soon enough I won’t have any to visit for such things. More realistically it’s sad on a personal level because while I maybe haven’t set foot in one…

That’s been one of my bigger issues with this time around, episodes tend to feel like they’re either trying to contain too much, or they’ve managed to take a fairly interesting plot and have stretched it too much or keep jumping between plot points. The Skinner episode, tonight, and I suppose last week as well…

I am OUTRAGED. How dare Kid Rock skip in line ahead of Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Papa Roach, and Limp Bizkit! But seriously, I can’t hate on this choice too much. He has more right to land in the Celebrity Wing of the HoF than some of the previous people. I guess mostly Drew Carey out of those I can remember. But I…

Hey! The show improved some! Nice. Well, as semi-background noise it improved if nothing else. Nothing really outright irritated me much, although I continue to want to punch Eugene from time to time while he remains in Savior Mode. The show remembering Gabriel exists led to some enjoyable moments, aside from the…

Hrmmmm. That all sounds about right, really. I did enjoy it, though. But it’s another instance this season where I think if this had taken a bit more time to go where it ended up, it might’ve developed better. I keep thinking about older episodes where things didn’t move so quickly, and the conversion over to a more…

I’m just happy the Great Dump Adventure didn’t end with Jadis jumping into the thing herself once everyone else was thoroughly pulped. It’s not often a group of people on either show can be introduced, piddle around, and then not be totally wiped off the face of the planet. And they got a much better sendoff compared…

On the one hand all of this hostility between the two groups is often ridiculous and obnoxious, but on the other it also makes things more interesting to me. I think only because it’s almost fun to watch everyone find new ways to get angry at each other. Also, let’s just assume it turns out that the REAL reason…

As a wise gang leader once said, “bulletproof, asshole.”

I still feel compelled to go see this. I figured it wouldn’t turn out well, but I’m an unrepentant fan of Death Wish 3 and this appeared to be trying to remake the original by way of channeling that one. Only I guess with less “inner city crime as committed by raiders from the Fallout series.”
