I wanted to get familiar with the characters again before I watch the latest iteration coming out tin a couple weeks. And it was just as fun as I remember it.
It’s a lot of crude jokes and over the top action.
I’ll watch it again when the next one comes out.
Overview
The origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who, after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Violence is nothing new to The Boys series. It’s one of the more pronounced aspects of the show where the Supes demonstrate that their extraordinary abilities. Some of the more notable deaths are people being blasted by lasers, having their heads explode, or literally having someone else run through them at high speed.
Just like a horror movie, I’m able to take this and just enjoy it. It’s not like an alien is going to jump out of my chest, or a demon is going to invade my dreams and kill me in my sleep.
Another thing I realized when looking at this episode is that the murders are all methodical. These are not crimes of passion, escalation of tension, or incompetence.
That’s when it gets really scary for me.
In the world of The Boys, you could always get killed just from being a bystander. In fact, the pilot had someone being murdered for stepping off the curb. This episode shows someone who is hurt specifically because they are passionate about something they believe in.
I had to sit with that for a little bit.
I really, really enjoy the show but with all the things going on with the world. I had to take a little break before going into the next episode.
I have to admit it this version of the Jane Austen classic is pretty good. I normally avoid watching period pieces because I look at all the wealth that some of these people have and how their only concern is that they have the most fashionable clothes of the season.
I feel that this version got me because I was actually paying attention. Mr. Darcy is lonely in that his money and status has isolated him in such a way that it’s hard for him to trust. I’ve had friends who have only wanted something from me and I get where he’s coming from with his distrust.
Other than that, the rest of the cast is doing a great job and I don’t feel that I would hate it if my daughter wanted to make me watch it again.
Overview
Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth.
Still working on how I want to format these reviews… Any feedback is welcome.
We’re getting to the end of the season and there are still a lot of questions to be answered. It can be really hard to stick the landing. This episode is there to build up some tension and get us ready for those last two episodes.
Unfortunately, it feels like you could sum it up in 2-3 minutes but sometimes you need to let things sit and set up.
If you wanted to see something different from Star Wars than this has something for you. It’s not perfect but I really like having new ideas and new possibilities given to me.
I saw this on the flight after watching the Thriller documentary and I’m pretty happy that I did. I think it’s a good example of how you could have all the talent in the world around a project and still have things go wrong. I also feel that this is where the business of making things can also hurt the creative practice as well.
One of the interesting things about this is that they don’t have a lot of direct footage from the actors of the Holiday special, but footage of them talking about it on other shows. It also uses a video of a tap player to show that some of the interviews are recorded phone calls.
Me? Have I seen it?
No, thank you.
I’ve never seen the Holiday Special and I don’t have a desire to at this point in my life.
But I think that’s really part of the excitement about it.
Overview
In 1978, CBS aired the "Star Wars Holiday Special" the week before Thanksgiving to an audience of 13 million people. Considered one of the worst shows in television history, it aired only once. George Lucas tried to bury it and an infamous camp legend was born. This documentary unravels the mysteries behind the most bizarre Star Wars spin-offs of all time.
I’m a big fan of Michael Jackson. I’ve been that way since I was kid. His music is timeless and has a global impact. I feel that every fan of music can get some enjoyment of this movie that tells the story of the biggest album of all time.
What I enjoyed the most about this was how they talked about how things led to the creation of the album and its composition of different songs. As well as a couple minutes of the business/politics of how a music label works with its artists.
Another takeaway, never trust Don King. He finds his way to be around successful people, but it feels like it doesn’t go well afterwards.
But back to the movie.
I really liked it, it’s well produced and now I’m going to take a break from the computer and listen to the album.
Forty years after the release of Michael Jacksonβs Thriller, the best-selling album of all-time, director Nelson George takes fans back in time to the making of a pop masterpiece, featuring never-before-seen footage and candid interviews.
Tau Day is a celebration of the circle constant π=πΆ/π= 6.283185β¦ Founded in 2010 with the publication of [_The Tau Manifesto_](https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto) by [Michael Hartl](https://www.michaelhartl.com/), Tau Day takes place annually on June 28 (6/28 in the American calendar system).
They are probably trying to get away from the movie as well.
I had to go back to my rating system to make sure that I was evaluating this properly.
It’s got a reputation for being bad, but the masochist in me kept chanting How bad can it be? and I had a 5 hour flight that I felt that I wouldn’t mind it if this thing put me to sleep.
I’m not going to make a video or post about this is what’s wrong with superhero movies. The failings of this movie are not related to the genre. I feel this movie falls down because I honestly do not care about the main character(s).
It feels like the movie is in such a rush to show you the next thing that the viewer might find cool, that it flashes over the parts on why we should really care about the characters.
Listen, I care that there are people who are incarcerated unjustly. I care about people who are just living their lives when bad things happen to them. I care about the world not being terraformed into a climate I can’t live in1.
But it’s hard to care about Barry(s).
I thought about why I didn’t care. In other movies where you know that the hero is going to win, you still get a sense of danger and excitement as they eventually get to the conclusion. I’m happy when I see James Bond tart his enemies. I’m shouting with excitement when I see the Toretto Family show how fast and furious they can be.
But this, I just don’t know what it was.
