COMIC BOOKS

• This is a pretty good movie, as long as you don't think about the plot for even one second.
• This was supposed to be some kind of comment on the Occupy Movement, but what was the message exactly? The Occupy Movement was mostly a big deal on slow news days and there wasn't really a lot to say about it. Now that Occupy has almost completely faded out of public memory, watching this movie just makes you go, "What the fuck is this supposed to be about?"
• Anne Hathaway and Tommy Solomon were the best part of this movie and Batman doesn't have a lot to do after getting his back broken. Instead of getting his back broken, Batman should have just died, and the rest of the movie should have been about Catwoman and Robin.

As good a superhero movie as the decade produced and a miracle of post-production. Its lustre has been pretty badly diminished by its horrible, horrible, horrible fans.

I liked it the first time. The second time, the new car smell had faded and it felt like it was hitting me over the head with the courage thing.

Not as consistently good as The Lego Movie, but a still a lot better than it has any right to be.

A game I got on sale years ago. Not bad for what I payed, and not bad for a game based on a property. A few parts were extremely fun, but the more tedious parts dragged it down enough that I never made to to the end, putting it off again and again until I stopped thinking about it entirely.

I can't believe that someone could read Watchmen what must have been dozens or hundreds of times and still completely miss the point. The original comic book is a lot of things, but it's not subtle about the super heroes being pathetic and unheroic. It's like if someone made a detailed film adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, and the entire focus was on sewing costumes for school plays.

Wow! I don't normally binge watch, but the end of every episode was just so hilarious and/or suspenseful. There's not much I can say without spoiling anything, but in point form:

• It remains a superhero show that is a also a comedy, but not a parody (except for a few fun jabs at Superman and Watchmen this season). As a superhero show, I find it better than any of the other superhero series I've seen, which tend to be slow-paced and self-serious. As a comedy, its sense of humour is totally unique, and a good mix of blatantly silly and understated.
• Last season handled origin stories better than a lot of good, mainstream superhero shows. Ms. Lint, in this season and the last, is a more interesting villain than in most of the villains in MCU movies.
• In spite of not a having a huge part, this is maybe the masterpiece of John Hodgman's weird acting career.
