Red Sonja, the new one. MUCH better than I expected, very fun movie, held back by budget. Some structural issues here and there that suggest to me that it may have originally been planned as a series or more than one movie. Very good final confrontation. Could've lived without the "atheist because god was mean to me" thing but oh well.
Deathstalker, the new one. I see what they were trying to do but fuck this was stupid and not in the good stupid way of the old ones. At least Daniel Bernhardt had fun.
Tron Ares. 🫠
TekWar Tekjustice. Don't we all feel a bit masochistic every once in a while? The best remedy is putting on some TekWar. This one is a low point in that it's a very confused court room thing that makes no sense and has basically no science-fiction. Already excited for the complete and utter nonsense that I'm sure TekWar Teklab is going to be as well and oh boy oh boy I can't wait for the series 🎶 Are you real or not 🎵
As You Like It, 2006. This one made me angry at the way Japan was used as decoration and nothing else. I can absolutely get behind transporting Shakespeare plays into a different time and place but if the change adds no value whatsoever (and might actually detract from the story), what's the fucking point? Fucking hell, Branagh. What the fuck. Couldn't even use Brian Blessed properly.
The Witches from 2020. Yeah, I guess.
Finally got around to starting She-Hulk, 5 episodes in and now committed to watching everything the Critical Drinker and his lot don't like because that's clear indication that it's going to be at least good and might even be some of the most fun I had.
Bonus: Masters of the Universe trailer - very little of substance to go on, but it does seem like they'll be on Earth for a shorter time than I had feared. Also, people already yelling about it being "woke" and "male Barbie" is highly entertaining. So very much looking forward to all the weirdos impotently raging at female Roboto and especially He/Him-Man ❤️
