Between a long-ass gout attack, and the heatwave, I've been fucking housebound.
So, with the middle movies I had planned snipped out, we come around to...
Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018)
Previously on MCU phase 3....
- Captain America: Civil War
- Doctor Strange
- Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2
- Spider-Man Homecoming
- Thor Ragnarok
- Black Panther
- Avengers: Infinity War
And now the rundown...
- Ehhhh, s'alright.
- I mean, it's good, it's more Ant-Man, it's everything you liked about the first one.
- It's just....Infinity War is a tough act to follow.
- I thought I'd see it, and go "oh!! HERE'S the reason they had to put it after Infinity War!!". Nope. Not really.
- I guess they thought we needed the humor chaser for the Infinity War ending.
- Stay tuned for both stingers.
- Okay, now for theater stuff....
- I've bitched about parents not watching their small kids, on a similar note, don't take your mentally challenged relative out if you're not going to take care of them. There was a challenged dude who had a shit fit over something during the wait through the credits, and his people were pretending they weren't with him like fucking cowards. God, that pisses me the fuck off.
- Drive home was like a dangerous video game.
- Y'know, I'm going to the other theater for awhile. The main theater I like to go to is nicer, and has the assigned seats, but some shit always goes down either there, or with traffic. The last 3-4 times there's been bullshit with people, or traffic, or both. I never have those problems with my backup location. Fuck it, next 4 movies, it's backup location. I need a vacation from bullshit.
So, yeah, it's a fun flick, go see it, you need it for your Marvel collection at this point.
All Marvels are required homework now.
Next, I have to retroactively catch up, and do Solo again, and Incredibles 2.

I caught "Wonder Woman." I thought Gal Gadot did better when she was playing innocent and naive than when she was tough and powerful. The movie could have used better villains. I liked it way better than all the super-dark non-Nolan DC stuff though (and why HASN'T Patty Jenkins made a film in 15 years, "Monster" won awards!) The MRA backlash was really fucking stupid, the film didn't ram its politics down your throat at all.
Ewen Bremner in the supporting cast, holy shit he's still playing Spud from Trainspotting.
One of the theaters here closed and the one that's left is now literally the only reason to visit my town's crappy, decaying, all-clothes-stores-all-the-time mall. I need to get the hell out of here, probably to KC. Here the problems in the movie theater aren't retards screaming throughout the movie but cell phones cell phones cell phones cell phones. Man, your "how to behave at the movies rant" was BEFORE the cell phone era wasn't it?
>The MRA backlash was really fucking stupid
The MRA backlash is always fucking stupid.
Fuck those people.
Why do serious media people still listen to them?
See they're trying to kickstart a remake of Last Jedi?
I'm sure that won't be cringe-y.
I should do an update sometime of my movie rant.
Think I've got enough complaints in my reviews to just paste it together at this point.
People that can't go two fucking hours without playing with their electronic toys, or stuffing their faces are pathetic, and need to be suffocated with a pillow.
You know what I eat at the movies?
Nothing!
I'm a fat guy with an insane appetite, and even I can wait two goddamned hours.
Well the serious media people have to do what'll get your attention and MRA crybabyism is "juicy," so I guess there's that.
I guess the term "MRA" is starting to go the way of the dodo too, even though "SJW" is still all over the place. Cripes, I'm just now realizing that most of the "neo-cons" we hated were like 13 fucking years ago and look how many of those people hate Trump! "MRA" will just get replaced by something else that means basically the same thing in a few years, so will "SJW." Some racial incident will take place a few years from now to cyclically replace the current debates on racism with pretty much the same thing, ditto for #MeToo, there'll just be a new wave of perv incidents a few years from now. The eternal return, agggh.
GOOD CHRIST!!! Are these people done hating TLJ yet?!? It's like hearing Trump still screaming about Hillary Clinton but at least I get why he's doing that (to stir up dumb pornographic applause from his audience). This is absurd, they hate it more than freakin' "Phantom Menace" now!!!! Does it have to be SOCIALLY EXPECTED of you to hate that movie?!? Everywhere I look is just hate, hate, hate, every comments section for every review or every clip of the movie is just pure bile! Is it really that hated by everybody now, or is just a fraction of the audience who spend every waking second of every waking hour of every waking day screaming bloody fucking murder about TLJ in some attempt to turn it into the most hated movie ever? Are these the same people who lost their tits over "Star Trek Into Darkness"? I remember people LIKED that movie for two weeks then one of the biggest backlashes ever started! I get that it's not as good as Wrath of Khan but gawd! I feel impotent talking about this stuff, I remember when I went to the theater and happily liked "Phantom Menace" back in 1999 and came back to read "- -" and Josh was screaming foaming hate about it and I told him "hey, it's supposed to be FUN! Have FUN!" and got blown off over it.
The general debate on going to the movies now states that people are only doing it if they need to see the movie right away, usually so they can discuss it right away. The actual theater-going experience sucks now, with 20 minutes of commercials before the movie. I guess I've only directly been the victim of other people's shitty behavior at the theater once, but that was back in high school. I guess people around here generally are good about turning their phones off.
I don't eat the food at the movie theaters because it all costs an arm and a leg. Whoa, $4.95 for a candy bar, nice.
Someone posted this on Facebook.
Basically, the TLJ haters watched a whole different version of the original trilogy than the rest of us. A stupid one.

Yeah, I used to get swept up in that fist shaking hate shit for "Star Trek Voyager", back in the day....and I look back, and and watch the reruns on H&I, and it's like....what was I so fucking stirred up about?
No movie or TV show should get you that frothing.
Total waste of energy.
It really comes down to a tribal sense of belonging to the "cool kid's table".
Loser nerds get a high off that, and are loathe to give it up.
They're junkies off their own brain chemicals.
You can't talk people down from that, they just have to crash and burn on their own.
Fuck 'em.
Oh, and as for MRAs vs SJWs, MRAs are still a thing, but they've been lumped in with "the alt-right", along with red-pill, and incels.
And rightly so, they're just different flavors of Nazi at this point.
MAYBE in some ancient long-ago, MRAs had some valid arguments, but for guys that are supposedly for men's rights, they sure do spend a lot of time bitching about women, and sure do fuck-all for men's rights.
Nah, they don't need a new label, good old fashioned "fascist", is good for these times.
They've shown their colors with the tiki torch marches, and the kid-kennels.
