Obliged, but câmon son; heâs a virile Black man, in a horror movie with an attractive White woman⊠do the math.

Son? A little respect for your elders if you please, young lady. 
Okay, I watched the movie last night. Good fun, if a bit silly. But I donât know if your math automatically adds up in the context of todayâs Hollywood. Heâs the romantic male lead after all, not a secondary monster-fodder character, and he isnât shown as inferior to Malorie in any way. If I had had to guess, my money would have been on the survival of the whole adoptive nuclear family. If you told me one of them had to go, of course, itâs obvious Sandra Bullock and two cute kids arenât going to get the chop.
I donât usually get too excited about spoilers, unless the whole point of the narrative is the mystery, or the surprise twist. Heck, I even enjoyed

yeah, overall i have to say that we liked it, too, but at the end i had SO MANY QUESTIONS. i was surprised that so many recognizable people were in it.

I guess Iâm showing my age with my usage of old slang:
*lolz
Aside from the trope that Black people typically donât survive to the end of a horror movie, thereâs the fact that when the film starts itâs just Malorie, Girl & Boy going down river; Tom is nowhere to be seen. Itâs clear from the beginning that he didnât make it that far.
Apparently, Sandra Bullock is like the highest paid actress in Hollywood right now; they had to have a comparable castâŠ

Can we just have him, Ava Duvarney, Ben Wheatley, and Jeremy Sauliner make all the movies from now on⊠Maybe James Gunn, too? OH, and Jordan Peele! DUHâŠ

Oh, I loved JDatE, but then, I loved the book, too. (Iâve got both the 2.0 Permuted Press and 3.0 hardcover versions.) Coscarelliâs adaptation is magnificent-- Iâm not sure anybody else could have done justice to it.

Pretty good. Stick with it through the credits for a mid-credit scene.

So there is this show
Iâm not going to recommend it 
âA bunch of people wake up on an abandoned mountain island spaceship and donât remember who they are and/or how they got thereâ sounds like an old clichĂ© to me.
Iâm just here to complain about this one thing.
There is a scene very early in the first episode, where Graham Neezha (or whatever his name is) first looks out a window and realizes where he is
Â
Â
The rings are rotating at different speeds, like theyâre all supposed to have different strengths of artificial gravity â HEY WAIT, if theyâre rotating to create artificial gravity, then WHY IS OUR HERO STANDING WITH HIS FEET TOWARD THE CENTER OF ROTATION?
OMG that is so not how physics works.
OKAY, OKAY, theyâre just rotating to look pretty, never mind. Theyâve all got magic artificial gravity that pulls everything toward the center. Thatâs how things work in this story. THE FLOOR CURVES DOWN. Fine.
BUT WAIT
Â
Â
Look at that. Look at that floor. CURVING UPWARDS.
The production designer who built the sets knew how artificial gravity is supposed to work on a spinning spaceship. But the CGI people, the ones who made that first scene where you see out the window? They couldnât figure it out so they just flipped a coin. And nobody checked it and nobody cared.
TFW you just want to reach through the screen and fire people

Because she can lead any movie from end to end. She is amazing. Sandra Bullock has screen magic and she works her ass off to make sure every scene is tight as hell. She has my respect. Itâs not easy to pull off being the star of a movie and she does it over and over again.

This is relatively horrific, but a well done filmâŠ
Itâs pretty upsetting on a number of levels, so be forewarned.

Apart from that imdb link I canât find anything about this one.

It doesnât seem to have a wikipedia entry, but itâs up on Rotten Tomatoes, FWIWâŠ
Itâs largely about the trauma of the war in Bosnia and that kind of trauma colors everything for the survivors. Itâs on the netflix, though, if youâre interested in watching. Given the subject matter, it is an upsetting film, so be forewarned.

So it is. I thought Iâd looked there first. Yes!
And oh shit, Solo came out on Netflix with Spanish titles. Itâs so much more accessible than The Room, but I donât think anyone really gets it.

Okay, DC TV fans: Iâm considering getting into Legends of Tomorrow, since Iâve heard itâs wonderfully bat 
crazy. But Iâve also heard season 1 isnât that great. Do I skip it entirely, only watch select episodes, or just work my way through?
(If it matters, I havenât been watching any of the DC TV shows. I have some knowledge of characters from the many comics I used to read, so I wonât go into it completely ignorant.)

US release in March, though itâs been released in other countries (Iâm currently watching on pirate streaming).
All I can say is congratulations, Terry Gilliam. You finally did it. Such determination.

Well, crap. The $10 Legends season 1 sold out. And I found out the thing I really want to see (Beebo) happens at the end of season 3⊠it seems like a lot to catch up on.
