Cobweb (2023)
Anthony Starr of ‘The Boys’, ‘Banshee’ and ‘Xena’ and Lizzy Caplan play demented parents who make unforgivable decisions. Their son is scared in his house and bullied at school. He is not allowed to trick or treat in this domestic horror. This was shot in Bulgaria in 2020. It is not very scary. Mad dad (Starr) has real menace and lurks ( Read more... )

A sequel/spinoff from the original. This is full of unsafe choices and ominous pronouncements and poor meerkats. There are new enemies and threats to the already decimated population. There is rollerskating but no foreboding. This is not a complicated analysis of modern society.  There are aggressive blind people and goggles but no timely responses ( Read more... )

And Justice For All

Kate has a new face and a new actress plays her (the blonde chick from 'Krypton'). Junkies turn cannibal and the reporter expresses concerns about their presence. This show is far from its briefly attained peak. Bad guys are perpetuating division in Gotham. Ryan has a tendency to end up in some very strange situations. Black Mask ( Read more... )

1x01

The talentless Emmett J. Scanlan who showkilled 'Krypton', 'Hollyoaks' and 'Constantine' stars in this inept Channel 5 drama. He is a college lecturer who student Ophelia sluts after. He's married.

'The First Purge' promo

Mmmm, can't say it'll be boring.

Grapefruit - okay.

Luxury raspberry yogurt - nice.

Camomille & spiced apple tea - not so hot.

Did some LJ stuff.

No SpaceX launch.

I miss the Murder Ink bookstore.

'We Hunt Together' was crap.

Who saw 'Fierce Creatures', 'Stars And Bars' or 'The Super'?

Krypton means hidden?

Changing An Entire Species

Kids read 'My Dark Materials'. Idiots play with their genomes. Reason does not prevail. There are fundamental mistakes. CRISPR is discussed and one guy wants to unleash it into the wild and change the ecosystem. People have no humility. This debate is ideologically dominated by morons. Untold misery could unfold from their ( Read more... )

The War Of The Worlds (2019) 1x01

This BBC1 take on the book was BAD. The opening is emotionless bad narration. The opening credits are bad. Rupert Graves looks like a lemon sucker. Robert Carlyle looks bored. This was relentlessly tedious. The two main characters (who were NOT in the book) are a man whore who ditched his wife and children to run ( Read more... )

Ancient History

Alex Hunter whoever she is shows up. A Betamax tape shows up. There is no escalation avoidance. Alex wears underwear as outerwear. There is talk of Balkan prisons. Peter is overly negative. There is no magnanimity. Alex whines. Neal's angry and has a massively negative view of Peter. Neal seeks only his own pleasure with inadequate ( Read more... )

'Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker' trailer

Kylo Ren is wet. The Emperor. C3P0 is dying? Horses? Mmmm. They better not kill Kylo Ren.

Looks good.

Best Lines:

“Humans undermining their own existence.”

“Biohackers.”
