I enjoyed it. Perhaps my "Oh, come on!" meter has been knocked out of whack by reality, but I don't recall anything setting it off in the movie. I thought Anthony Mackie did a good job, and got the excellent performances I was expecting from Harrison Ford and Carl Lumbly.

The status is NOT quo.
We both really liked it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
We saw Captain America this afternoon, and it was pretty entertaining. I'm glad the MCU finally addressed the giant Celestial sticking partway out of the ocean.

To some degree anyway. I get that " new veins of nearly-indestructible metal to exploit " is a lot more actionable on a human scale than "hundreds of miles tall statue sticking out of the Pacific has caused a wobble in Earth's rotation and worldwide weather is SCREWED!" but you'd think the latter would be of primary importance to world governments. Unless Tiamut arranged things so its emergence counterbalanced global warming as a parting gift, I guess...

Daredevil: Born Again — I love Kingpin a truly deranged amount.
That's all I have to say for now. (We've only watched the first episode; we're saving the second one for tomorrow.)
Okay, one more thing: fucking goddamn motherfuckers. How dare they. R.I.P., Foggy.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Daredevil: Born Again
So the show runner's talk about Foggy and Karen being the heart of the show and it being impossible to do it without them was complete bullshit .
Overall, I'm interested in seeing where this goes, but I feel lied to and it puts a damper on the whole thing.
ETA: Having Matt Murdock say "my client didn't have his magic amulet" with a straight face may have been the most unexpected thing beyond my other white font.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I’m 15 minutes in and I think I need to take a break for a day or two.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My enthusiasm to watch was gone pretty quickly once I read reviews.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Daredevil Season 2 is filming on my block next week!
