St. Apathy

This show would really work best being streamed all at once.

Not a power there is can make it better, but thanks. Truly.

That bad couple of days is turning into a bad month.

The Boys had a great premise and not a bad mythology, and there's not a thing to fuck up. I don't think they can do the excessive digs at the big two so they'll tone it down.

Somehow starting to enjoy Bloodborne.

The worst I've seen from Snyder, which is saying something.

Characters do things and things happen that are really awkward in execution and make little sense. It sort of lumbers along until one point when Bats is abruptly standing on a rooftop and apparently its going down. And then they reconcile because both their mothers are named Martha. Animosity gone.

The worldbuilding is pretty cringeworthy. And it comes in two lumps; there's a subplot about Wonder Woman [blackout]stealing some files from Bruce, who himself stole from Luthor. Then she gives them to Bruce because they're encrypted so he decrypts them and when he sees the files include a WWI picture of Diana, he... He forward them to her, and they happen to include other footage of Aquaman, the Flash, and Cyborg.

And that footage is also shown. In its entirety. We get treated to an extended shot of Aquaman scowling and slowly punching an underwater camera. A glimpse, if at all, would have sufficed, but not for the Snyderector.[/blackout]

And aside from jumping in to help in the climax, that's the extent of Wonder Woman's involvement.

The other lump is a sequence where Bruce has a dream of living in a post-apocalyptic world under Superman's tyranny, [/blackout]which is followed by Bruce waking up, and then having a stranger bursting in through time and space to warn him of future happenings. And then he wakes for real.[/blackout]

It might have been meant something for those versed in the DC universe but it came off as ridiculous for me.

Batman and Alfred are great. Superman is sort of a reactive character and doesn't do as much. Lex Zuckerberg kind of grew on me.

Barfleck good.

There's a bunch of stuff that is blatantly there to set up future movies and it is pretty cringeworthy.

I'm not overly fond of the second season.

I am not having a great week, mental health wise.

I think I read a bit of that, some suspect fish-fucking in there - right ?

Fish rape, actually.

So I read Neocomicon.

It was, uh, certainly something.

What's that one PJ Harvey song with a video where she's standing on a street flailing a handbag?

I don't think he's going to be a straight up villain, but more like Charles Bronson from Death Wish.

Never seen it but I expect he'll be a tragic figure with noble qualities while decidedly being an antagonist.

Hells yes! I really like the idea of the Punisher as villain.

He debuted as such.

I've been learning to cook and today I cooked a steak. It was pretty good if I say so myself.

Playing telltale's Game of Thrones thing and it is the most stressful thing, every decision is painful as you imagine it biting you in the ass.

I do believe the movie lineup is based on the newer post-DC-reboot series, if that helps any.

I dunno about the Joker, myself. Seems too over the top. Which is actually appropriate, however...

The rest? I am very much into.

The Hateful Eight is a Quentin Tarantino movie.

And vows invoking Grabthar's hammer to avenge Alan Rickman.
