The Seven Deadly Sins: Prisoners of the Sky (2018)
20240315:
I had just finished the third season (Imperial Wrath of the Gods) and instead of going on to finish the final season, I decided to watch this movie.
While the movie had some decent action sequences, the story felt uninspired. For what appears simply for the sake of confusion, Meliodas and Elizabeth have look-a-likes in this sky kingdom. But the Meliodas look-a-like doesn't actually look like him (as he's nowhere near as buff as Meliodas). It'd be one thing to confuse the two if they were both equally strong looking. As the movie is just filler and non-canon, I would recommend skipping it.
Netflix determined the movie for me as <56%* match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
Rating: 2.8/5
*With the first movie without a match percentage being 1st, The Seven Deadly Sins: Prisoners of the Sky was the 2nd out of 2 items with hidden match percentages.
Instant Comments:
Hehe. Meliodas knows this person is not Elizabeth
Hehe. "Why did you dodge it? Let me slap you."
"Except he's not even white" (I guess he could be a descendent; another possibility is his mom, but she's not white either)
Smile. He calls himself a descendent
Hehe. Solaad makes a great pie, unlike, Meliodas
Strange that he would know Ten Commandments but not Meliodas
Huh. He just said Meliodas by name.
What an annoying father... No honor; normally it is common to spare the life of someone who saved your life
Hehe. "Save us, Mama!"
"Seven Deadly Sins" combined spell
A piece of skin near the back of Hawk's mother peels off suggesting that she must have been the Great Oshiro
Post credits: King Bartras eats the cooked sky fish and he barfs like Escanor did at the beginning; Hawk eats a piece and turns into a sky fish

The Marvels (2023)
20240310:
For the most part I enjoyed this film. There were some sappy moments coming out of Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel. To be clear, she's allowed to be emotional, but I think it was overdone. For me the highlights of the movie revolved around Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel, mainly for bringing personality to the movie. Of course one unfortunate aspect of the movie is that the villain was a letdown (I don't even know her name).
Rating: 3.6/5
Instant Comments:
so far Kamala is the most interesting of the three... Carol just seems too OP to be... I dont know... (we have to save who we can)
haha "I will drop high school"
Kamala seems like the glue despite being too young to be experienced (she chose a name for Rambeau, a name for the team, and here has Marvel come in for the hug)
hehe "she said that really weird"
nice little double dutch and training scene
hehe "should we tell fury?" is that ever a valid question?
hehe bathroom. it's funny cause in most cases it seems coincidental that superheroes/heroes are not needing to use the bathroom at inconvenient times
omg so cute. Kamala dancing. and asks why arent you guys dancing. Rambeaua was dancing a little and Carol said "i am dancing" but she was just basically walking
haha "what the hell" (Carol's dress transforms)
smile. bilingual
hahaha. "stop running and let the flerkens eat you"
oh... does she still have powers without the bangle?
oh she does have powers without bangle (1 2 3 switch, but they don't)
why did woman blow up with two bangles but not Kamala [the bangles are, as Kamala said, destined for her]
so she's gonna trap herself on the other side?
"I always knew I would have to stay"
lol. precredits. Kamala approaches Kate Bishop (and she mentions Ant-Man's daughter)
hehe "please"
I'm guessing Monica does make it back... cause multiversal stuff... but if not then... a version of her enters this universe. I dont fully understand why she had to be on the other side. she could just create a tear and go on the other side and close it
midcredits: Monica wakes up with the Beast, reference to Xavier, and there's a version of her mom (someone named Binary) but one that doesn't have a child.
after credits: flerkens are heard vomiting and slurping

I love the transition from Roald Dahl's home to Henry Sugar. can see glimses of set during the transition which is a nice touch
Love the block to sit on for floating
Hmm... should not draw on 19. The power should be used more discretely [for example, if the dealer's card is 6 and the player has a hard 12, then statistically the player should stand (because pulling a 10 would bust); but with the power to see the next card, the player can sometimes hit (when the card is not a 10); with that being said, the player should sometimes intentionally hit and pull the 10 and lose... that is, the player should pretend to not know the correct strategy and simply being "lucky"; I would determine what the true probability is and play within that range (e.g., if the probability of pulling a ten is roughly 4 out of 13, then I would make sure to pull a ten approximately 4 out of 15 of those situations)

There's a person on the board below John for 2 million. Also I don't understand. His excommunicado is expiring but I thought that protection is only relevant on Continental grounds. But here he is on the street and no one wants to touch him yet [I'm watching a YouTube video and apparently there are other places besides the Continental - marked by gold coins - which serve as neutral ground]
Smile. "I'd say the odds are about even." "Yes sir, Mr. Wick." (the cab driver knew who he was)
"Not if you can't spend it"
I feel like the only way way to best explain his survival is that he has inhuman regenerative abilities
Wow. Two shots. John didn't hesitate (to shoot the right locations)
Hehe.Taking the time to modify the gun.
Caption: knife piercing skull
Right into the eye.
Hehe. Pulls out knife only to have an axe thrown into the head.
While the premise of everyone wanted to kill him and the outcome of him surviving is unbelievable, it makes for an action-packed movie
He gets hit by two cars
He didn't pick up any guns or bullets while leaving the last place... odd from a survival perspective but sensible from a uniqueness in kills
Horse kick
Hehe. Drag by horse
I feel like instead of direct combat, taking him out with a sniper rifle would best
"You are bound and I am owed"
Seems like certain rules trump other rules...
Hmm. There are rules and rules are meant to be broken (or alternatively, just because there are rules, the problem is when people break them)
"rats with wings" (pigeons)
Hmm. This adjudicator vs the bowery. These rules don't really make much sense to me. Too convoluted...
Sofia says the marker doesn't mean anything now that he's ex communicado... that seems like B.S.
a pattern here is that someone does something on a marker, the benefit vs the cost suffers from the case of present-self vs future-self (that is, the present-self engages in the contract thinking that indeed any request in the future will be worth it; but the future-self will undoubtedly disagree)
Hmm. Curious on the "don't". Cause he shot her dog, which... I'm not sure how one measures John Wick's reasons for vengeance of his dog dying and here this...
Huh. There are two dogs attacking. Did she bring three dogs or did her dog not die from the attack? [Wikipedia article: "When Sofia refuses to give Berrada one of her trained Belgian Malinois, he shoots the dog but hits its bulletproof vest"]
Hmm. Will Wick have to go up against these Asian fighters? (they are taking out members of the Bowery)
hehe fealty but also go fuck yourself
I don't get it. if that was just the first wave and she expects to represent the winning side... why call for a parley.
hmm... clearly John understands Winston... no way was Winston shooting him a surprise... though it does seem hard to intentionally fall the way he did. interestingly Bowery King seems convinced that Winston betrayed John.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
20240308:
I watched the first episode today, and I felt the episode generally lacked the spirit of the animated series. The only moment that seemed to capture some of the emotion for me was near the end when Aang calms down from his Avatar state and hugs Katara. However, I felt a good scream of anger prior to triggering the Avatar state would have been more of a signal of the pain. So in a way, even that scene lacked a punch to me.
Overall, I think when one makes the decision take a piece of work in one medium (e.g., writing, music) and convey it using another medium (e.g., movie), I think it is worth asking what can the new medium bring to the table and also what will be lost from removing the work out of the source medium.
20240530:
I'm not a fan of Zoku's appearance. Sometimes I think Aang looks funny. I think the shows strives for too much imitation of the anime. Perhaps instead of how it was done, I think they would have been better to capture the idea of a character and figure out how to implement those ideas to live action in a believable way.

Uncle Iroh is such a great character. I particularly like the look and mannerisms of this live action General Iroh
1=20240530
S1E04:
hehe interesting twist (the king is Bumi, from Aang's flashback)
wow. Zuko giving Iroh the medal... that was emotionally heavy and well delivered
Zuko and Aangs fight in the previous episode was better than tbis fight with Bumi
hehe my cabbages
thus scene with Zuko's eye covered makes me wish Zuko's scar had looked more like a burn scar. which I alluded to
the uncommented comment is that Zuko made the honorable choice to save his uncle instead of pursuing Aang when given the choice.
1=20240530
S1E05:
wow. Katara's getting good (ice discs)
hmm... was this self-deprecation laid on so thick in the cartoon series? it seems kind of annoying to hear Aang complain so much
ooo. Burn. The king corrects Azula
hahaha. takes the money and says no.
huh. he gives them some information. [I had to rewatch the scene again a couple of times to get it. what the bartender says the first time is a literal answer to seeing the Waterbenders himself]
hehe. "I'll let it pass cause your dad's kind of cute"
1=20240611
S1E06:
the difference in appearance between past (pre-scar) and future (post-scar) Zuko is great (great make-up); partially the lighting, but also the facial expression (smile vs frown)
huh. an Admiral can give orders which outrank those of the Prince?
hmm. it isn't quite explained why Roku took the totem [technically he did tell Aang that it is something that Koh needs and cannot forget]
smile. "because you're so cute" (the way she says that is great)
Agni Kai.
For whatever reason. Iroh is my favorite repeat character in this series so far. Perhaps followed by Katara. Iroh for his wisdom and Katara for her development as a Waterbender
I remember practically nothing about the anime, so in particular, I don't remember who this masked person is. I would guess it's Zuko but at the same time Zuko has never displayed necessarily this ability to steathily infilitrate and take out several guards
Hmm. I would have considered calling the person's bluff. Cause why would the person kill Aang if he came to rescue Aang
Aang initiates conversation with Zuko
Goat hair.
"Compassion is a sign of weakness." (does he not know that Aang saved him)
Jeez. That's just outright abuse
That's such mixed signals. saying Zuko is weak for holding back and yet originally punished for not holding back and speaking up in the first place
Ah. It is revealed that Zuko technically saved the 41st division; they were made his crew
smile "they must have missed you at music night"
1=20240611
S1E07:
a very Iroh thing to do. in front of Zhao, say he suspects Ozai
poor Azula. though I think she either looks too young or too short to take seriously
ah. he gets his answer to "how do i know you". that was a surprise
hahaha. "so no plan" that's a good punchline
oh shit. lightning
1=20240619
S1E08:
that caught me off guard and real teary-eyed; i thought he was just going to say thank you but he said "Lu Ten would have been proud to have you as a father"
smile. "yes, Master Katara"
was victory at Ba Sing Se somehow due to Azula's skills? in any case, I still can't take her seriously. [interestingly there are some who don't like her cause she doesn't look like animation Azula. that's not a big deal. but I think an older looking Azula would be more menacing]
1=20240619
I watched the first episode today, and I felt the episode generally lacked the spirit of the animated series. The only moment that seemed to capture some of the emotion for me was near the end when Aang calms down from his Avatar state and hugs Katara. However, I felt a good scream of anger prior to triggering the Avatar state would have been more of a signal of the pain. So in a way, even that scene lacked a punch to me.
Overall, I think when one makes the decision take a piece of work in one medium (e.g., writing, music) and convey it using another medium (e.g., movie), I think it is worth asking what can the new medium bring to the table and also what will be lost from removing the work out of the source medium.
20240530:
I'm not a fan of Zoku's appearance. Sometimes I think Aang looks funny. I think the shows strives for too much imitation of the anime. Perhaps instead of how it was done, I think they would have been better to capture the idea of a character and figure out how to implement those ideas to live action in a believable way.

S1E02:
1a: oh it took a different angle. actor for Zhao is from LOST
1b: not a bad little romance between the warrior and Sokka
1b: hehe he uses the fan to block
1b: interesting Kyoshi image is able to fight. or at least I mean the choice of imagery to use Kyoshi
1b: smile. they get to kiss

Instant Comments:
Hehe. "Wanna fuck?" "Yeah."
"Now we can catch up."
Hehe. She told the cops straight. And now she told Beaumont what she told them. That's way more smart than I would have ever come up if I were ever to have to be in that situation.
Hmm. What is the purpose of telling the salewoman someone left a bag of beach towels... giving away the money!?!
Wow. He shot Melanie.
Hmm. I guess he's gonna kill his friend... (would be typical Tarantino... everyone dying)
Hehe. It happened later than I expected (after a conversation). In any case... Max Cherry is now involved
Damn. Max has guts coming
What a tense ending (Ordell just called Jackie Brown)
Hmm. The time to grab the gun seems long... if Ordell was already holding onto his gun... even surprised it seems he could pull his gun first.
Wow. That's quite the endin. Considering she was doing the whole gun pulling from drawer thing
10% of half a million is 50K.

Instant Comments:
is it actually possible to build a wall so strong that would keep out the kaiju?
hehe soon after I asked a news clip of a category 4 breaks through the wall in an hours time
hehe looking through the peepphole
welll this fight between the two shows Raleigh is the better fighter... which I guess earlier with the stick fighting (which appeared to mimic sword fighting) he also displayed quite some skill
huh. He pulled down the doctors eyelid "You've gone and done it haven't you. You goddamn moron."
I feel like it tactically didn't make sense to ground Raleigh and Mako even if they had a bad initial run; basically they were doing a 2 v 2 with 1 in reserve when they could have had a 3 v 2 with 1 in reserve and a chance to show the others that Raleigh and Mako were competent in a scenario outside the primary mission of delivery the bomb to the breach.
Huh. Hmm I thought the neural connection is just swapping memories. It doesn't make sense to me that his mind is now part of the hive mind
Hehe. Learned from his previous failure (check for pulse)
This slow moving vehicle. It looks cool when it throws punches but I feel the reality is that such a vehicle is inefficient. I think the neural network on the upper body while having a more vehicular multi-pedal leg system that could ground itself would be more advantageous
A baby. how convenient
Hah! Of course (comes to life)
Oh... but then dies
That's cute. Haha. The other scientist will drift in together to share the neural load
What!?! "It's not going to work." The question is why not and what will be the fix
Oh. Do they name the kaiju like they name tornados and storms
lol. what luck. the one kaiju just comes right at them and all they had to do was stick their sword through it
I'm guessing... Pentecost will solo take the Jaeger through the Breach
Huh? Did he just ask Raleigh and Mako to sacrifice themselves?
Hmm. Okay. Well apparently they will also sacrifice themselves.
Oh wow. He ejected Mako
He's able to enter the pod also... but they made it a close call
I thought people would try CPR before crying if a person is dead

The Suicide Squad (2021)
20240306:
While there were some good action scenes, the movie felt disjointed and full of filler. I did like this movie more than Suicide Squad. In particular, I liked the idea of having a leader. Liking it better than Suicide Squad but worse than Birds of Prey, I'll give the movie a 3.0 out of 5. Though speaking of Birds of Prey, what is the timeline? How did Harley get put back into a mission?*
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 94% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
*It seems like she went back to prison after Birds of Prey. Was this explained outside the movie or did I just completely miss it?
Instant Comments:
1a: what a weird team... practically none of them know each other 1a: is that meant to be a joke (Weasel can't swim) [weird cause soon after we learn he's dead as a result... but the way Waller looked over as a reaction to the initial question made it look like a joke]
1a: How are detachable useful?
1a: They spent the opening on this guy being able to throw a ball and he's killed for desertion...
1a: Honestly this use of prisoners is beyond inhumane
1a: I don't know... this film is hard to watch. Waller threatening this man via his daughter.
1a: Okay. This is just stupid. If Flag wasn't taken by hostiles, then there better be a good reason he didn't contact Waller... since the other guy was able to keep in contact with Waller just fine
1a: Pause cause sleepy but will prably rewind it a bit
1b: resume at 45 minute mark
1b: Smile. "I can't believe this thing had a bullet"
1b: Hehe. "Everywhere" (and he sees her literally as every person on the team
1b: Smile. Polka Dot Man is having fun and the scene switches to what he would see with everybody being his mom.
1b: Hehe. "My answer may not be what you might expect?"
1b: I'm guessing she just faked going unconscious
1b: One of these guys can just pick up a gun instead of attacking with knives. Harley picks up a gun on her way out
1b: I like the flowers as a substitute for blood
1b: Hehe. She sees them crossing the street.
1b: Hehehe. "Well I can go back inside and you can still do it."
1b: hehe. Harley's conditions
1b: "I am walking back and forth."
1b: "I love the rain. It's like angels splooging all over us."
1b: Yikes. Ripped in half. That would be a lot of strength... Though maybe some sort of ripping the yellow pages strategy can come into play
1b: This star creature is huge now
1b: The doctor tells them that the U.S. government was involved and I vaguely recall having that feeling from when Waller began the mission
1b: he he smaller bullets (i think that was a callback to earlier)
1b: what... if everyone in the suicide squad was able to cover their faces... but not any of the soldiers? was it that hard to synthesize the logic
1b: hmm aren't the star people supposed to be controlled? [yes]
1b: nice wow. feels good that someone took out Waller. I feel like an evil version of Nick Fury... who would want that in a franchise. evil is hard to sell. at least anti hero... 1b: oh no poor polka dot. such strong power but could have cut something more vital
1b: that's smart. I was trying to think of how I could leverage the drive and couldnt come up with how. I knew what I'd ask for (basically what he did) but not how to secure it. though triggering the release seems to be tough... she could try to kill them all and perhaps the data would get released. I guess an implementation is that all persons have to enter and reset some sort of expiration trigger which if one of them dies them the trigger would expire even if they were dead.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
20240304:
Exciting to watch, but how is John Wick not dead?
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 96% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
Rating: 4.0/5
Instant Comments:
Hehe. "Why don't we just give it back?"
I suppose they could have just laid a trap where his car is rigged with explosives so that when he starts it he dies
Hehe that car swerve to hit a man.
How many times has John Wick been hit by a car?
Hehe. It's all battered up.
Huh. Why did he scream?
Wow. She didn't even flinch. She's just going to bleed herself out.
She accepted her fate though... Did she have any options? I feel like she could have offered to protect John in exchange for her life.
Two shots per. I guess sometimes only one if he's sure it's a headshot
The choreography looks cool but the idea of reloading the shotgun throughout the fight seems inefficient compared to the handgun sequence earlier on
Hehe. Another hit by the car.
He fights to not kill Cassian.
Hehe. "Avenge" more like cover his tracks
In the first movie the bounty on him was 2 million dollars and now it's 7 million!
Ooo... through the ear.
On the one hand it's a lot of money but on the other it's betting your life to take down John Wick
Smile. "Please notify MTA personel of any suspicious activity
Sucks that he has to face Cassian while wounded. Earlier they seemed equally matched but it would make for an interesting fight
Hmm. He doesn't seem wounded at all though during this fight. Maybe adrenaline?
Hehe. "The blade is in your aorta. You pull it out and you'll die. Consider this a professional courtesy."
Why would this fake beggar or whoever he's associated with not also want to cash in on the bounty? Maybe due to rules not unlike that of The Continental?
Hehe. "You don't want me owing you."
The number of asssassins is... unbelievably high
John had so much money... can't he just fly to some secluded place and hide away [20240309: today I was watching a YouTube video which explained the gold coins are currency of the underworld]

I suppose they could have just laid a trap where his car is rigged with explosives so that when he starts it he dies
Hehe that car swerve to hit a man.
How many times has John Wick been hit by a car?
Hehe. It's all battered up.
Huh. Why did he scream?
Wow. She didn't even flinch. She's just going to bleed herself out.
She accepted her fate though... Did she have any options? I feel like she could have offered to protect John in exchange for her life.
Two shots per. I guess sometimes only one if he's sure it's a headshot
The choreography looks cool but the idea of reloading the shotgun throughout the fight seems inefficient compared to the handgun sequence earlier on
Hehe. Another hit by the car.
He fights to not kill Cassian.
Hehe. "Avenge" more like cover his tracks
In the first movie the bounty on him was 2 million dollars and now it's 7 million!
Ooo... through the ear.
On the one hand it's a lot of money but on the other it's betting your life to take down John Wick
Smile. "Please notify MTA personel of any suspicious activity
Sucks that he has to face Cassian while wounded. Earlier they seemed equally matched but it would make for an interesting fight
Hmm. He doesn't seem wounded at all though during this fight. Maybe adrenaline?
Hehe. "The blade is in your aorta. You pull it out and you'll die. Consider this a professional courtesy."
Why would this fake beggar or whoever he's associated with not also want to cash in on the bounty? Maybe due to rules not unlike that of The Continental?
Hehe. "You don't want me owing you."
The number of asssassins is... unbelievably high
John had so much money... can't he just fly to some secluded place and hide away [20240309: today I was watching a YouTube video which explained the gold coins are currency of the underworld]

The Batman (2022)
20240303:
I don't know. I found this movie's portrayal of Batman too strange. Batman seemed to have a weak mind, didn't seem frightening, and lacked a display of being wealthy (the only "cool" gadget worth mentioning was the contact lens which Selina wore).
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 95% match. I decided to give the movie a thumbs down.
Rating: 2.4/5

Watching this group fight... I realized how my knowledge that a one versus many group fight is nearly impossible ruined the scene for me... often times there's a suspension of disbelief in place, but I think because I was not fully focused on the film that there was no suspension of disbelief in place
So far the movie is slow paced. also I don't so much like the look and sound of Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman but I like the more crime aspect of the movie (leaning into Batman as a crime detective) (Batman just gave Penguin a visit)
I guess the thing is Robert Pattinson has a skinner face compared to what I think of Batman as someone with a broader face
Batman trying to get Seline to cooperate seemed more like Batman thus far, but I still can't quite get past how he looks
In this scene with Alfred and Bruce... I guess another item I thought about earlier but reminded to note here is the lack of business playboy look of Bruce Wayne; even here he's dressed up
"reclusive" huh. doesn't seem quite so Bruce Wayne
hehe. he could probably have gone softer on that punch. poor Jim.
whoa. That's neat. A glider. hmm. interesting choice to have the mishap as opposed to a cool graceful landing
"You could have at least pulled that punch, man." "I did."
"What? Do you live in a cave?"
This news release explains what Carmine was referring to earlier with why Thomas Wayne helped him (when Bruce thought it was because of the Hippocratic Oath)
Hmm. Lame. This isn't the first time Batman got lucky with someone else cluing him in (the murder weapon for carpets; previously it was "El" instead of "La" [I must not have been paying attention, cause I didn't recall how that resolved. the internet explained that "you're el" is a clue for "U R L" which Batman uses to go to the website "www.rataalada.com" to get the next clue])
Uh. How do these rifleman miss. Just take a moment to take aim and lead on where Batman will be.
Surely the Riddler provided the clue to his own plan failing... why would he be surprised or upset tha Batman figured it out?
Post credits have a typed message from the Riddler asking "goodbye?" followed by the link to "rataalada" [going to this website has a graphic saying the domain has been seized by Gotham City Police Department]

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
20240303:
I thought the movie had more obvious plotholes (namely why the "villains" didn't just take away all the powers of the entire Shazam family from the start) but overall I think I liked the overarching story of this sequel more than that of the first movie, Shazam!. In addition, I suppose the look of the Shazam family grew on me and they didn't seem as ridiculous in this movie as they did in the first movie. Perhaps in this movie they seemed less like kids while they were powered up.
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 96% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

Hahahaha. "Rejected by city"
Hmm... All or non seems extreme. I'm curious if there's a reason for such a rule
haha. The bridge already collapsed
It is silly. "Destroy" is different than "fail to save."
hehe Billy mentioend Wonder Woman and describes her alter ego
yikes. that's quite a fragment he was able to peel off the staff
hehe. date with Wonder Woman.
Is it just a dream though cause she doesn't turn around and reveal her face
"Comic Con." "What's Comic Con?" "What?"
Ah. SHAZAM. Though for something that sounds ancient, the translation is in English...
Uh... seems arbitrary. They took away Freddy's powers but not the others
Hmm. I feel like he does have a strong brain (as in he's not bluffing)
Hahahaha. The dictation
Freddy identifies Anthea as having power of axis and that it's rare
Ha! Age difference! I was also wondering earlier why Anthea appears to be in her 20s, the middle one in her 40s, and the oldest in her 60s [their actual ages in 2023 are 22, 54, and 78, respectively].
Hehe. No time for secrets: "I'm gay."
Sure... always in these movies. Just stand around and stare at the eggs.
Hahahaha. "Suddenly seems inappropriate" (she's over 6000 years old)
That's a tearjerker. ("I know I age out soon")
Holy moly. She could have just taken her sister's power away (as evident in another scene) but instead killed her.
Hehe. "Yet the unicorn does not love you"
Hehehe. "Taste the rainbow"
Holy moly. There's more of them (unicorns).
Hahaha. "Taste the rainbow, mother-" (unicorn neighing muffles out the end of that)
Hehe. "Made you look."
I feel like the magical strength to shrink the shield - having it pass through persons as it does so - seems amazing
Tearjerker goodbye to Freddy. Even though I imagine he'd somehow survive... which would kind of be weird.
Not really how lightning works (doesn't bounce around)... I thought he would have just charged it directly or absorb the flame of the dragon
oh wow. He said "Shazam" which would mean he turns into a person at the time of the explosion... It would be weird if he were alive
"A true god after all"
Oh my goodness. That theme. Great that she makes a cameo here but... that theme...
Hehe. I'm gonna be 18 in 5 months
Smile. It's hard to have a super hero name that is also the word that triggers your powers. You couldn't tell anybody your name. Which I think why "I still think we can beat it" makes sense. But I also think because in the comics he is "Captain Marvel" which one of the towns people named among other possible names [the Wikipedia article for Captain Marvel has a few lines about him being renamed "Shazam" due to the name "Captain Marvel" being owned by Marvel comics]
Midcredits. Ugh. Waller.
Hehe. "Justice League" vs "Justice Society". Even though the Justice Society is a thing... I would almost agree it's... unfortunate?
Hahaha. "The Avenger Society." (Smile. "I like that for some reason")
Post credits. Huh. Back to the ending of Black Adam.

Black Adam (2022)
20240302:
For the most part I enjoyed this film.
Rating: 4.4/5
Instant Comments:
the kid was in on helping them past security check
some references to Shazam! (e.g. lightning check, is your suit bullet proof or you)
hehe he destroyed the Superman poster
caption says music from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (which was on tv early)
huh he said they will bring peace to Kandaq but according to the kids story the group called the Intergang has been oppressing the area...
what I thought the plan would be to trick him into saying "Shazam." but he just outright gave up the trap?
it interesting to root for Black Adam against the Justice Society (though specifically moreso against Hawkman). even the people are rooting for the champion and booing the Justice Society so... I suppose the movie also has this narrative (Teth Adam flies off after they are chanting)
Adrianna tells the Justice Society all the points of them vs Teth Adam, but Hawkman still believes in his perspective that Adam is dangerous (I guess there was a similar problem with Superman being dangerous.... who gets to police that and who polices the police)
why would the wizards simply imprison Adam vs destroy him. and inscription that reveals how to free him
heroes and villains... that's such a black and white view of the world. and that heroes don't kill people. soldiers often kill people and come home as heroes of their nation.
hmm keeping a bunch of people underwater... doesnt seem like a secure as it seems
still over 30 minutes left... something substantial still needs to happen.
hmm will Black Adam not be awakened? (Dr Fate seals off Hawkman)
great speech by Dr Fate
he was able to fight off several guards on his own (without powers)
he has a cape again. oh and his suit is renewed
I feel like he would break the throne
hehe. called it. though honestly I thought he would have just pounded it with his fist. his ground slam from the sky was much more dramatic
ugh this Amanda Waller character is annoying. she's almost set to be an equivalent of Marvel's Nick Fury except she gives off evil vibes and associated more with villains than superheroes. surely Batman was the one to put the Justice League together (even though he obtained dosiers from Waller) and not that Waller; in contrast, Fury was directly responsible for putting the Avengers together.

Hehe. That was expected (breaks his leg)
Why would they gossip about her with her so nearby
If the truck was moving with so much momentum as to cover that distance, leaving it while moving seems like rolling out would hurt more
Ewan McGregor
Yikes. (faces)
The caption said the one doing cutting was Zsasz.
This bean bag gun made for a cool scene
I never realized that: harlequin
"Psychiatriss" is crossed out, "Hit(wo)man", "Bounty Hunter", "Dog Walker", "Mercenary", "Finder of lost things", and "Life coach" are listed
That bat bounce is pretty cool. I wonder if that was a real trick [there's a scene of this stunt and she holds onto the bat where the bat would go flying... so I guess that's just CG]
Harley shoots someone
Harley references the events of Suicide Squad
Uh milk not in the fridge?
It seems like the cop said "Helena Bertinelli" without moving her mouth. Maybe the audio got mixed in
Smile. "And you're dumb enough to build a case against him"
Roller skates.
Ha. "When the fuck did she have time to do a shoe change?"
Ah. I see, she had the roller skates from roller-derby (being pulled by motorcycle)
"Whip me."
That's some quick thinking. "I took your ring"
That is satisfying that she got her sandwich
Oh, I didnt' realize why "Mary Elizabeth Winstead" sounded liek a familiar name. She was Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
At the end of the credits, Harley says, "Are you dummies still sitting there? Fine. Since you stuck it out this long. I'll tell you a super duper secret secret. Did you know that Batman..." (it cuts off there)
