I am back from taking Ryan to see Thor: Ragnarok. It's pretty much as excellent as promised. I wouldn't say that it's as different from other Marvel movies as I'd expected from the reviews, but it's certainly one of the funniest, and that does wonders to lift it compared to things like The Dark World. Taika Waititi, unsurprisingly, is pretty much the funniest thing in the movie. Further note: I dod not truly believe that Jef Goldblum was just going to Goldblum it to the extent promised, but dang. So Goldblum.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Did anybody see the second Kingsman movie? I'm thinking of catching it tonight before it's out of all the local theaters. How did we feel about the movie?

It was fun, though I didn't feel it was a movie that HAD to be seen on the big screen. There's a guest star that's definitely worth some belly laughs.

I thought it was a fun ride.

So I've been reading reviews of Joss Snyder's [sic] Justice League, and I started wondering what the DC movies would be like if Dwayne McDuffie were still alive and helping to make them.
Now I'm really sad.

I did go see Kingsman 2 last night. I quite enjoyed it. I think I liked it better than the first. It seemed more lighthearted. Maybe that's just the mood I was in , but I liked it better having fun and taking itself even less seriously.

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.
Now I'm sad, too, Scola.
Man, if only...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I want to see several of those, megan!
I, Tonya, and Three Billboaords and Shape of Water particularly.

I, Tonya, and Three Billboaords and Shape of Water particularly.
I predict you will like all three: the in-your-face sass of I, Tonya, the rage of Three Billboards, and the Caro & Jeunet look of The Shape of Water.
