I have turned off JJ no imagination Abrams Star Farce and watching Drive.

Anyone seen Sully

I don't see how you can make a two hour movie about a 10 minute crash landing.  Heard a review, think on NPR, that was negative.

Easy it involves the back story. RT has it at 83%

I watched his interview with Chris Matthews the other night; most of the movie is the investigation afterwards.  Apparently they really tried to stick it to him for having to ditch the aircraft in the first place.

Finally got around to watching season 1 of Daredevil on Netflix.

Hands down my favourite Marvel superhero, even though his super powers seem to be "having the crap beaten out of him" and "Catholic angst". 

It helps that he is played by the actor I had a crush on since "Stardust".

 Series 2 of Arrow.
I can't help but laugh at some things. A major plot point is some super soldier serum invented by the Imperial Japanese....called the Japanese word for Miracle- Mirakuru! i.e. just katakanaised miracle. Despite normal Japanese of the sort that the Imperial Japanese would have used having a perfectly good word for miracle. It just found silly to hear everyone constantly saying this English word in a accent and acting like they're not saying the English word.
And then maybe its just a British thing this.... but the annoying spoken intro that DC series do, the "My name is Oliver Queen" thing.... "I spent 5 years on a hellish island" - wait what? I thought that island was horrible? Now you're saying its great?

Anyway.
Its overall meh. Flash is entertaining but Arrow....just leaves me cold.

The latest season of BoJack Horseman. It just keeps getting better and darker.

Watched The Light Between Oceans with my girlfriend last night. It was surprisingly decent and the acting was superb. Michael Fassbender was great, as always, and Alicia Vikander was good too.

Never read the book. The GF said it was actually pretty close to the novel.

never really got into daredevil. His super seems to be that he's a blind man who can see.

Plus that mega power of hitting guys with little sticks.

If they're the right material, those little sticks can fuck you up...especially with a head shot.

I found it amusing that his big thing is not killing people...but likely leaving most of them with serious concussions, fractured skulls and possibly even greater brain damage/TBI's is a-ok.

Ballers - season 2 is better than season 1.  I recommend it.

Hellish:adjective
1.
of, like, or suitable to hell; infernal; vile; horrible:
It was a hellish war.
2.
miserable; abominable; execrable:
We had a hellish time getting through traffic.
3.

As to Arrow, I really liked Season 1, enjoyed Season 2, and have struggled to keep watching since.  The Olicity duo is horrible.
