Ack! I am horribly ill
It will probably be a few days until I get around to doing regular updates.
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 […]

- The Batman: what were they thinking (1.5 stars out of 5)

Course of Action: Continue study from a distance
Ouch. Illness sucks. Good luck getting better!
Ragged Boy, why?? I need him alive!
B. Mac, get better soon!
Don’t worry an antidote will be administered…after the transformation.
I feel myself transforming into a surly political scientist wracked by coughing. Wait, no…
But in all seriousness, get well soon. I find that carrying a small voodoo doll wards away bad luck and illness. I haven’t been sick since I found mine last year.
Get well soon! Being sick genuinely sucks, I should know in my current situation. It feels like the seven dwarves are mining for jewels in my skull, but my horrible teachers dumped a bunch of homework on me. I have to suffer before I get to rest.
I have a small piece of paper that I wrote the number seven on 49 times (that’s seven times seven) in seven different colours. I keep it in my pencil case near exam times to give me extra luck. It didn’t work for maths last year though, my whole class failed. 🙂
Whovian, that’s pretty nifty… although, I am confused as to how you turned it into a doomsday device…
Haha, I don’t know how either. Maybe it had something to do with my mental energy. I wanted to pass my other three exams (and did) but when it came to maths, I thought “Bleh, whatever”. Maybe that’s why everybody failed.
Okay, I sound so bonkers right now. Haha. Next thing I know I’ll be reading The Secret and asking the universe for a bicycle.
