Just finished watching Ant-Man and the Wasp again. It’s a very fun movie; as is its predecessor, the comedy end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Some of the best laughs involve quite a bit of special effects work, although most of the best laughs also involve Luis and crew.
I don’t like sitting in the cinema waiting for the mid-credits extra bits, so this is the first time I’ve seen the ones included in this one.

Watching Aliens : Special Edition at the moment, notably not in one go. It’s a fair old ask once the chores are done.
It’s probably just nostalgia talking, but it remains one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The screens are the only thing that really dates the tech.
The first scene with the dropship is something else. It’s just a triumph of sound, set, models and performances.
And if you ever wanted to know what happened to Burke, here’s a happy ending I only saw for the first time.
Brave New World has dropped on Netflix here. Dunno if in UK but worth watching
Lovecraft Country Hammer Horror without the cheese. Back watching it again.
And just to get @pap all juiced up
Not even a debate at this point if you’re putting the emphasis on the science. The only thing they don’t really explain on the human side is the Epstein drive.
Even the protomolecule stuff is pretty well explained. An incredibly clever, yet also incredibly dumb building block. It’s not evil; it has no plans of its own at all.
It’s just doing what it does. Turns raw material into other things. Doesn’t much care if that material is human.

WandaVision finished very well.
And in other news. The Orville S3 is under way!
How long until Lower Decks meets The Orville?

Yeah but you’d still have to queue for 3 hours to get through immigration. 
I suspect this will only be of interest to one or two people, but I have done a Wargames skit using a combination of Microsoft’s accessibility technology and my capture card.

Birkenhead and Runcorn have both been hit… 
Oh wow.
Jack Grillo, Bruce Willis in a Zombie Space Sci-Fi movie. Amazing!
What could possibly go wrong?
Besides the acting, the plot, the writing, the effects, the pacing, the Zombies.
Apart from that, well worth 5% on rotten tomatoes.
I have Vodka to finish but still may watch Star Trek into Darkness again…
Justice League, the Snyder cut, a FOUR HOUR recut of Justice League, is out today on the various interweb sources.
Right, so I’m watching this Zack Snyder’s Justice League in bits, and am already starting to realise what the issue was with the DC execs. It’s not Avengers. It’s really not Avengers.
I think there is one line of dialogue in the opening five minutes; it’s almost completely conveyed through the visuals and it works. But it’s not Avengers.
I’m going to continue ploughing through, but so far, am enjoying it. It’s not Avengers and I’m okay with that.
I am sure that stupidity will kick in at some point during this movie, but so far, so good.
It’s 4:3 btw. Don’t bitch 
It will take until Sunday to upload to my provider. It’s a shame I was hoping it would be ready lunchtime Saturday…
Meanwhile reviews keep coming in for Cosmic Sin. Seems 0/10 was generous
A few things I’d rather do than watch “Cosmic Sin” again:
Stub my toe.
Get a splinter.
Accidentally swallow a small insect.
Also this. I’d rather watch footage of Bruce Willis reading the script for “Cosmic Sin,” talking himself into starring in “Cosmic Sin,” signing the deal for “Cosmic Sin,” telling us his reasons for signing the deal for “Cosmic Sin,” and explaining why he looks so bored onscreen it seems like a struggle to keep his eyes open. Through thick and thin, through “Moonlighting” and a hundred “Die Hard” movies, through the height of stardom and the slumming-it stages, I’ve always been a Bruce Willis guy — but he’s testing us this time around. This isn’t even phoning it in; it’s more like texting it in.
CosmicCosmic Sin is a movie measurable by its without s. Without any sense of humor, adventure, or irony. Without any devotion to imagining an Earth that is tangibly different in 2524, the year the film is set. Without any effort at all exhibited by costar Bruce Willis, whose customary late-career lack of interest in his own film work reaches a new zenith here.
I’m sure it’ll be there before midnight tonight…

FFS hurry up
I’m stuck watching 50 Shades if Grey - it is actually quite something as the deadpan Polish voice reads blah blah blah Orgasm…
(And before you judge me it was this or Warsaw Shore, Hotel Paradise or Disco Polo Greatest Hits)
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is epic.
I’m only 40 minutes into it but it’s already infinitely better than the cinematic release.
