Week-long Haitus
I’m moving tomorrow and it’ll take me a week or maybe two to replace my computer. Unless a library is serendipitously close, I don’t anticipate doing much online during that time.
Our RSS Feed- The Batman: what were they thinking (1.5 stars out of 5)The Batman was terrible. If you’re mainly watching this for comedic potential, I’d get as many Spanish-speakers or gringos as you can find, and let’s learn about the difference between “el” and “la” with Batman. –There’s a spectacularly strange scene where Batman tries interrogating Riddler and Riddler bursts into a soprano rendition of Ave Maria. […]
- Suicide Squad sequel: 2.5 stars out of 5, far improved over original–There’s intense violence but not a lot of feeling here. It’s not a very exciting movie. But it’s functional. It’s frequently tedious but rarely boring. Only the political sermons and Weasel are viciously bad. It’s definitely a huge improvement over the first movie. –Most of what sucked about Suicide Squad 1 was an overfocus on […]
- Hour 1 of Justice League’s Snyder Cut, Scene By Scene1:30 – 6:55: Cyborg sees his Mother Box acting up. Then Mera sees her Mother box acting up. Then Amazon guards see their Mother Box acting up. Also there’s a Lex Luthor flashback where the computer shows him that Mother Boxes are plot relevant in case you missed that. PS: In the first 8 minutes […]
- 2020: Even Wonder Woman Lets Us Down–Wonder Woman 1984 is not nearly as good at the original. Pluses: the cast is still very charming, and a few of the fight scenes are effective. I did actually like most of the first hour of the movie. –Setting: In the original Wonder Woman, the WWI setting contributes to a hard bleakness which effectively […]
- Captain Marvel Review: 1.5 Stars Out of 51. I don’t know where to start with Captain Marvel. So many things went so wildly wrong that we’d need a presidential commission to get to the bottom of it. It’s like the Chernobyl of superhero movies. 2. If at any point you feel like your action movie would benefit from a character whose main […]
- Spider-Man: Far From Home Review (1 star out of 5)1. This version of Spider-Man is a useless toolbox who actively avoids doing interesting things, and what he does attempt is usually wimpy and/or incompetent. 2. Unlike most main characters, his choices don’t matter much. For example, he chooses to leave his supersuit at home (but his aunt sneaks it in anyway) and he tries […]
- Rotten Tomatoes Score Dataset UpdatedWe’re up to 72 superhero movies since 2000 (current as of November 2017). You can download the full data here. Some observations: R movies are making up the quality gap with PG-13 movies. Superhero movies are improving. Over the last 5 years (2013-2017), the average superhero movie is averaging 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, up […]

Thursday Friday Saturday
Sunday Monday, hey!
My week-long haiku. Or perhaps you mean hiatus 🙂
It’s alright, by the way check http://www.bored.com/findcliches/comicbook.htm
It actually has some valid points, which youve mentioned before and others.
I will personally miss your wise, guiding presence. Fair thee well in moving noble B.Mac.
Yeah, well, I should probably be off the net too. Had an exam on Tuesday, still have two more to go.
I suppose I could try to mimic your endless wisdom for the sake of the newbies in need, but I could never be even half as wise/intelligent/not-face-punching as you. 😉 They’ll just have to wait a week.

you’re pretty helpful wings 🙂
Not helpful enough to take out those spambots over in Review Forums. Makes me wish I’d applied to be a mod proper way back when.
I swear, if another one shows up over there, I am going to set a horrible example for everyone and go on a rampage. Fridge magnets will be involved. Also desk chairs.

There’s a spambot problem? Uh oh, what kind? I’m not very computer techy so i don’t know how to spot them :/
I agree with ShyViolets, Wings-you do a very good job if offering wise, practical, and tactful advice. I think I can speak for all of us newbies when I say that 🙂
And I hope moving goes well B. Mac! I for one HATE packing >:(
Ah. I see what you mean about the spambots. >:(
It may be time to break out the fridge magnets and desk chairs, Wings.
Best of luck to you.
Why are the bots targeting review forums the mos- OH WAIT, higher traffic area. We must release the hounds…
Spammers! You and me, behind the church at 5:00 tomorrow. Let’s settle this the old fashioned way.
…Would do that, but it’s hard to schedule a fistfight over the Internet. ‘Til B. Mac gets back, let’s just break out the garlic and crossbows and hope for the best.

I always wondered what kind of spambots were attracted to this site. At least it looks like they are in English at least.
The hotel rate ones seem to enjoy attacking. We shall vanquish them. BEWARE!
Hmmm… bio-robot minions made of homogenized pork protein… BRILLIANT! Muahahahahahahahhahahaha… The world will soon be mine!
Oh, by the way, if you find a library near by, inform us. I have an idea for a guest post or two that I’m still considering, once I get my laptop back into operation.
