I tried to justify and defend season 1's finale in my head ever since. All the talking, all the nonsense. This is just aggravating to watch. Do they know they are making entertainment for human beings? It's as if these people have never watched TV their whole life. So much talking and invented mumbojumbo about the inner workings of the TVA machinery, it's not confusing it's tired and boring. Conversations range from cringe to just feeling pity for the characters. The conversation between Mobius and the hunter about jet skis, wtf? The entire judge room scene, no one freaks out by what Loki reveals? This show feels like it's written by AI for other AIs to watch.

Wholesome heartfelt movie with actors you know
25 September 2023
Decent 90 mins spent watching 2 retirees, their family and their town be good and decent to one another and exploiting capitalism and flaws of the system. It has no business beeing as watchable as it is. It's just a good natured movie, a great way to spend a flight or the time after your kids went to bed. Bryan Cranstan and Annette Benning deliver restrained and sweet performances of 2 people of the American heartland just being nice and normal with their flaws and quality. At some point I would have expected Walter White to come out and deliver his "I am the one who knocks" line. However, Cranston is just delivering a muted performance of a real life character who is believably good natured and plain, yet memorable if you just took 5 minutes to talk to him. Everyone is almost too nice in this movie which is a great distraction from the day to day of the western world.
Another MCU Phase 4 disappointment
26 June 2022
My wife and I thought The Eternals was a stumble towards the bottom of the barrel. This movie proves it's on purpose. Sam Raimi barely watched WandaVision to direct this, couldn't be bothered to watch 8 hours of TV from the people footing this multi hundred million bugdet film.
Character plots are badly handled, so many moments where the script breaks established laws of the MCU. The world building is either so thin or so distorted it's like watching Star Wars 8 all over again. Please Disney, stop turning respected properties into garbage fires. Doctor Strange was praised by critics and amateur video essayists. Avengers Infinity Wars proved you can write super heroes movies and write them properly. Make bank and provide quality entertainment.
Phase 1-2-3 was built on folowing the thread of what was made before. So far none of the shows or movies tie in to anything else phase 4. Loki's Kang should be all over the place by now. Where's Shang Chi, didn't Wong get him earlier?
Asking for continuity trhoughout movies is a lot, I know but this movie cant keep up from the previous movie for which it is a sequel, let alone scene from scene Strange's cloak will fly him 100 m in the air but can't hold him upright while he's fainting? Wasn't it fighting bad guys on its own in the first movie? Did the people making this film alsk not watched that movie. I'm not a comics diehard nitpicker, i just like narrative's that are consistent and hold together, especially at the price point of this media property.

A Black Lady Sketch Show
(2019– )
Ups and down, the laughs are worth it
28 August 2019
Honestly not every sketch lands it's mark with me, but I am not a black woman from the US of A so i must be missing some references, same thing for my spouse. Everything else is often funny enough to compare with the world offer for international sketch shows of the last 20 years (UK, Canada, ect). Honestly it makes me chuckle around the house and the intro puts a lasting smile on my face.
Unbearable
20 March 2019
We tried to watch this sequel and couldn't continue past 30-40 mins it's just atrociously boring. The plot doesn't matter, it doesn't make sense knowing the characters. You can have all the exploding lava and dinosaurs you want there's nothing like a Jurassic Park movie in there. There's no wonder, no joy no amazement. It feels like a bad disaster movie with decent actors who were tricked into it for a payday.
