I like the bit where there kept being more debate moderators on the phone, but otherwise it just wasn’t very funny. It also feels out of character for Amy to want kids so strongly. Obviously is hasn’t come up before, but as long as we’ve known her the only goal she’s had in life is one day becoming captain. That’s not…

The Babadook is great, but I felt like it had pretty standard horror pacing. I didn’t really like The VVitch though, and I actually haven’t seen Hereditary yet. I hated Creep and The Invitation, but Goodnight Mommy and Starry Eyes were both slow burns that really paid off in the end. I didn’t make it through Mandy,…

I was being pretty flippant in my first post, because I do think it’s great that the genre is broadening, even if the discourse around that broadening is pretty awful. But I’ve also watched way too many “good” horror movies where nothing happened for the first hour. That’s why my rule of thumb when picking out a…

I’m just really sick of “elevated” or “prestige” horror, and the idea that now that some real film makers are getting involved horror is finally good, The idea that only now are people“actually putting in some effort” contributes to that idea, but it ignores the fact that that’s not actually a new thing.

Because Friday the 13th is great?

“Thanks to a new trend of competent filmmakers actually putting in some effort beyond picking a new group of teenagers for Jason to stab, the horror genre is enjoying a bit of a mainstream spooky renaissance.”

I don’t think that he’s trying to quit exactly, he’s just going to get a handle on his PTSD and par down to one suit. Which is why he builds the Iron Legion, so he can have a lot of suits without actually having a lot of suits. Obviously that’s a cop out, but that’s also why he’s on the outs with Pepper during Civil…

They could definitely stand to par down the cast a bit. Like, we don’t really need a Gary and a girl Gary, do we?

Which is what makes it so interesting that he Ennis wrote such a destructive bromance in Preacher.

Wasn’t exactly a fan of the show, but it’s a shame it didn’t last longer. I feel like the best stuff in the comic is pretty heavily back-loaded. Everything from War in the Sun through to the end is really good, and a lot of the more juvenile/try hard comedy had been left behind at that point.

A lot of it doesn’t hold up for sure, but the stuff that does hold up really really does. It’s also, probably accidentally, a really nuanced examination of toxic masculinity.

At least we have Curse of the Moon.

On the one had yes, on the other hand he just needs to punch a magic robot.

Iron Man 3 seems to be a real love it or hate it movie. I think it's one of the better entries (although not top 3 or anything) but I know people who think it's one of the worst.

I remembered really liking the first Thor the first bunch of times I watched it, but I found it pretty mediocre when I rewatched it last month. It’s not awful by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s kinda weirdly paced and lower stakes than a movie about a god should be.

It’s pretty on brand for Tony to destroy all the suits, and then immediately turn around and build the Iron Legion though. 

Everybody knows it’s bad form to attack a guy mid-transformation. Otherwise Kamen Riders would be screwed.

And the Sailor Moon gundam is weirdly Sweden’s entry.

Iron Man 2 is, of course, very bad, but I still think the Iron Man briefcase is one of the cooler moments in the franchise. Later movies got way over the top with Iron Man’s armour, with them automatically latching onto him or shooting out of a satellite, but the briefcase suit is a far more interesting emergency suit…

I was trying to find the YTV promo for Endless Waltz, but alas it looks like it has been lost to time. “Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, packed wall to wall with endless Walts. There’s Walt, Walter, and even old man Wally.”
