There is a lot of this campy, slap stick comedy to it. The thing that really highlights that issue is near the end when Bond returns to his hotel and is walking around the inside of the lobby on the walls while the people looking for him are on the inside.
What pull you out of reality sometimes is the complete buffoonery of the CIA Special Activities Director played by Holt McCallany. There are so many things wrong with his actions and about how he was hide his location such as making changes to the software that showed what CCTV cameras
Using some incredible imagery and graphic horror, this story of the a Knight surviving during the Black Plague and protecting a young girl who is more than she appears. Whether demon or angel, the girl seems to know more and has a plan for the Knight Thomas and protecting the people of France.
No language, no sex, no violence... other than a food fight. There is nothing about this movie to not like and I think the 6.4 that IMDB gave it is outrageously wrong. We obviously didn't see the same movie and I think my mom would agree.
It has been in and out for all of us for the past few months, so we took some time to review what we have seen and played.
They probably enjoyed me and my brothers watching it as kids, but not now without the grandkids. There is a decent amount of intended language with other words thrown in to replace them. I say it that way because when I was little the "What the Freak" statement was popular and I said it one time...
It is here that my dad pointed out to continuity errors in the movie. The first is when Mel is shooting from the flank and there are paintball marks hitting the tree and then when they go back to the tree they are missing. The second is when he is running in the final battle...
There is a lot of different things you can and cannot do that change the aspect of the game especially the last mission. The fact that choices throughout the game, choices right before that mission, and finally choices you make about who leads each part of the mission make massive changes
Now, I know that there is a growing theory that Daniel is the bad guy and he won using an illegal move, I am not sure that I can agree with that. Much like First Blood where Rambo isn't really the good guy, Daniel isn't the bad guy. Everyone is wrong, including the girl.
Specifically, there is this lawyer that I just couldn't stand. I will say that my wife liked a character that I felt was a waste of time so take that into the mindset of if you like people or not. Overall, I thought they did a good job, just a lot of it felt like it was over the top.
There is a huge grind portion of this game for materials. However, the end result, building your base is the best part. The hosts and our friends had a pretty decent base. The issue with the base, taxes. Oh and power. If you don't log in for a couple of days, the power goes out, the shields go down
I have to say that acting is incredible. I don't think there is a person who doesn't miss, minus Anthony Ramos, who also missed in Ironheart. There is one scene relatively late that caught me so off guard that I had to back the movie up and catch it again.
Video Game
For turn based games, having that kind of control makes this more action really allows you to feel that you have more control over the game rather than relying on having the "meta" stats build for the character to survive. I mean it might take a long time, but technically you could win most fights

I’ve loved Ender’s Game for decades, rereading it many times. Card’s writing, Ender’s brilliance and empathy, and the deeper themes still inspire me. The series outshines his other work, and this book especially pushes me to work harder. It’s an easy 9/10 for me.
Movies
Brad Pitt is hit or miss with me and this one is a grand slam. He is outstanding and you really get to see his natural charisma. The young driver, Damson Idris, I could leave. I am not sure if it is the actor or the character, but I just can't stand him. I will have to watch him in something else
Books
We need to start with this book doesn't have a traditional format/setup. It isn't one story from start to finish really, other than mainly her live but even this it isn't a continuous story. It is a series of stories that highly different lessons that she learned and it works.
Movies
The singing is fun and the acting is on par with the rest of it. I will say that there seems to be more jokes, both stupid and really funny with the whole Jessica and Ashley thing. What I do not like and speaks volumes in this is that there is ZERO character growth from the last movie.
TV
It was a catastrophe of epic proportions in living up to that. Investigating these types of events is what I do for a living, and so I wanted it to be good, but talk about doing the bare minimum to make the language right and tossing it aside.
Books
Whomever did the cover art, did not talk to the author. It specifically says that he wields the hammer one-handed with a shield. The cover art shows a dude with a GIANT hammer and a sword. I'm going to call it AI generated and that just pisses me off.
Movies
I do appreciate that it felt like they tried to share the spotlight a bit more between all the characters/actresses. It was really fun to see Hana Mae Lee really get some time because she is so wild that it just makes you laugh. There is a scene where they are in a tent together
TV
Speaking of the second season. The last episode of the second season look me probably 4 hours to finish. It was terrible. The fights, boring. The story in the final episode, negates most of the entire season. They knew the show was ending and threw it in the trash.
Movies
The story also highly predictable. From the git go, the breadcrumbs are laid in front of you like bread loafs. From the gaslighting to the overall plot, it is one of the most predictable stories ever. Especially when you see the mad sprint the movie takes. 1.5 hours of running through the story.
TV
How they did the age of the show, i.e., the old cars, decor, style in the house, etc. is so well done. I am honestly not sure how they do it so well 50 years later or so. It really helps you feel what how things happened. I do feel there are some modern language patterns that make no sense
Movies
Rebel Wilson makes this movie so much better than I think it would have been without her. I am not a huge fan of Adam Devine but the way he and Rebel play off each other and the shade thrown is outstanding. It is one of my favorite parts of this movie.
