You were never really here (2017)

It's not really a movie, there's a vague revenge plot but no real action to speak of. The sound editor should be shot.

Random thought while watching Titans (which is much better than say Marvel's Iron Fist... [spoiler]as long as it doesn't spend too much time on Robin's angst[/spoiler]) :

Why does Bruce Wayne collect all these boys? :hmm:
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yeah, Titans is quite decent when they don't dwell too much on Robin - which sadly they do quite a bit... I love when they embrace 1980s DC bizarre (the nuclear family, the Doom Patrol).

Helps that Rachel is a rather likeable lead, despite being a teenager.  :P

Starfire's sex worker attire puzzles me a bit though...

Isn't it just the one?

LEGO Batman is on Netflix.

Holy references, Batman. :D

It kinda loses a bit in the second half, but until then one of the best looks at the Bat-Character out there. Him being an emotional cripple, what would Batman be without his rogues gallery, and also asking the question, "If Batman is so great, why is there all this fucking crime."

8/10, till climax with Sauron, Daleks etc. it was a 9 for me.

Favorite lines:

Robin: My name's Richard Grayson, but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick.
Batman: Well, children can be cruel.

Yeah Lego Batman was great.

Plus I'm sure you appreciated Ellie Kemper as the Phantom Zone-thingy voice.

It did kind-of irk me though that when you already have Ralph Fiennes as part of your cast, and you're going to throw in Voldemort in as a villain, that you wouldn't use Fiennes to do Voldemort.

Nope

Never seen any besides Robin.

I think it a reference to just how many Robins there have been...

Bird Box.

It's not a good movie at all, it's boring in most parts and predictable in others. Has an aggravating ending.

Is it just me or does this battle angel alita movie look like a huge flop in the making?

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.
