Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

When it comes to Jupiter Ascending, I prefer to let Shrill and Mallory speak for me.

Sense8, I enjoyed the first season tremendously, but it's very in the Late Wachowski Period of Operatic Interlocking Shit That You Probably Shouldn't Think Too Hard About But Just Let The Feels Wash Over You And Assume It All Means Something.

(OH HAI I ALSO LIKED CLOUD ATLAS)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The first time I saw Jupiter Ascending, my friend and I laughed the whole way through. It was ridiculous fun. The next time I saw it was with a young teenage girl and she loved it. All the stuff I thought was silly af, she adored to bits. She thinks Avengers and Superman and Batman are boring because it's all just fighting and stuff blowing up. JA was her superhero movie. Seeing it with her changed my opinion about it. I mean, it's still dumb, but honestly so are MY favorite movies. "Bees recognize a queen!" isn't actually dumber than "I got my spider powers from a radioactive spider!"

Hey. New board.

The world building was nuts but fine. Zero problem with bees. I love a little silliness like that. The Planet of Bureaucrats was awesome. But the plotting was just blah. Also dialogue.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Some films just push your lizard brain buttons regardless of its overall quality. I reckon Jupiter Ascending does that to quite a few people the way Pacific Rim does to mine.

It left me cold with the exception of those 5 minutes of Space Bureaucracy in the middle that felt right out of Brazil. I wanted en entire movie of that. I also thought Channing Taum and Mila Kunis had absolutely no chemistry (understanding that chemistry can be in the eyes of the beholder), which made me sad because here was a pairing that'd support canon bestiality and A/B/O kinks! Too bad those two were as passionate as a tangle of wet noodles.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sean Bean's character arc was obvious to me the second his daughter coughed. If someone in a movie coughs and they aren't in the middle of a burning building, it's terminal cancer. Or consumption.

I thought Pacific Rim sequel was scrapped! But no, it has an IMDb page and everything: [link]

Boyega is set to play Stacker Pentecost's son (!), the character played by Idris Elba on the first film.

Excuse me. I need to go lie down a bit.

And Stephen S. DeKnight is listed as the director.
