Because Mrs B and I are wild and crazy people, we spent New Years Eve watching a movie.  In our case, Mad Max: Fury Road.

First of all - good deal.  It was a $0.99 rental via iTunes.

Second... I don't get the hype.  It was good for what it was, which was a 2 hour car chase movie.  I liked but didn't love it.  Mrs B didn't hate it.

Perhaps a movie that suffers on the small screen?

Watching Mr. Holmes. Enjoyable.

Nah, it's a decent movie, but not exceptional.

I can't picture giving up on a movie that has Olga Kurylenko in it, I saw through the end of Hitman just because of that.

Pretty sure I gave up on Hitman fairly early.

Kurylenko is quite hot, but it doesn't say much for her script choosing that the best movie I've seen her in was Oblivion. Or perhaps November Man.

It was the most amazing fanboy wankfest I've ever seen. Simply astounding genius.

Berkut

Watched the Netflix wanna-be Serial documentary on Steven Avery - Making of a Murderer.

Pretty decent, but I suspect they were rather careful in how they presented the story to try to convince me he is innocent. I didn't find it that convincing, honestly.

It's still better than the Breakfast Club.

He should have done a Hateful 8 1 and a Hateful 8 2
