I loved this season, except for the final episode. What an absolute failure. If the idea behind New Blood was to improve the original ending of Dexter, they have succeeded... because this new ending makes the old ending look like a masterpiece.

what a disgrace
19 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
What a sad, depressing, disappointing, empty, soul-less, joy-less abomination of a movie. THE FORCE AWAKENS had some potential, then THE LAST JEDI took a huge dump all over that, and now THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is just an absolute mess that tries desperately to dazzle everyone with huge action, bad humor, and sickening amounts of member-berries. the Skywalker Saga began with THE PHANTOM MENACE and ended with RETURN OF THE JEDI. this Disney Trilogy is meaningless. they resurrected Palpatine just so that Mary Sue could kill him again, which makes Anakin's redemption and sacrifice completely worthless. they're trying to tell us that Rey is the "real" Chosen One, but she has no character, no arc, no hero's journey, no depth, nothing that makes her interesting in any way. the same goes for all the other new characters, and all the original characters have been completely ruined, reduced to failures, and killed off. i will never watch this trilogy again, it is not canon, it serves no purpose, it has no meaning, it is completely incoherent and didn't make me care about any of the characters or any of the so-called "story". Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams had the opportunity to make something great, but they completely failed. their trilogy is irrelevant and should not be considered part of the Skywalker Saga. all the Skywalkers were killed off, and Mary Sue Palpatine took their name and their home. it's disrespectful to the legacy of STAR WARS and needs to be erased from canon and forgotten.
Captain Marvel
(2019)
CAPTAIN MARVEL completely won me over
7 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I was completely wrong about CAPTAIN MARVEL. i loved it. not being sarcastic. really really liked it a lot. i went in expecting to be bored and eye-rolling the whole time, but they won me over from the moment the Marvel Studios logo animation played, and then i had a really good time throughout the whole movie.
don't expect the "weight" of an INFINITY WAR or CIVIL WAR though, it's very light-hearted, but also has its serious moments. fortunately the feminism stuff is barely noticeable, and they actually didn't use at least one of the more cringe-y feminist lines she said in the trailer, which was also a good thing ("i'm kinda done with you telling me what i can't do"). and i think the "i'm not going to fight your war, i'm going to end it" line wasn't there either, unless i missed it.
what surprised me the most was that i completely liked Brie Larson in the role. somehow they did one of the worst marketing campaigns for a movie ever, because they made her character look so arrogant and snotty and overly feminist in the trailers, but in the overall movie she was really likeable to me. and of course Brie's statements outside the movie itself in the last few months made it all even worse. they created this extremely "feminazi" image for the movie, which it absolutely isn't. actually, i think it's quite possible that they saw all the negative feedback and tried to tone down the awfully arrogant feminist stuff as much as they could. if so, they succeeded.
here it gets a bit spoiler-y:
i liked how they kinda "retconned" the thing about the Tesseract. i have to watch CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER again, because in that movie it always seemed like S.H.I.E.L.D. found the Cube at the bottom of the sea. but clearly that was actually someone else.
the explanation for Fury's eye was also funny :D
another thing i liked was how the Skrulls turned out, and the fact that apparently there won't be any more Skrulls hidden on Earth. at least it doesn't look like it now. i would have found it kinda stupid if they had done the whole "oohh, which one of our heroes could be a Skrull?" thing in upcoming movies. that would get boring very quickly, i think.
oh, i just remembered another line from the trailers that was nowhere in the movie: where Fury says to the women "are you giving me orders now?" or something like that. so yeah, i'm almost 100% certain that they took out as much of the cringe-inducing feminism as they could. and that definitely saved the movie, in my opinion.
so yeah, i'm happy i was wrong. the MCU is not ruined <3 i'm sorry that i forgot to trust in Kevin Feige. won't happen again.
omg, and all the Stan Lee stuff was sooooooooooooooo great <3 i was literally crying before the first scene of the movie even began, you'll see why. what they did there was AMAZING.
and his cameo later in the movie... reading the script for MALLRATS and practicing his lines... i wasn't able to focus on the movie for a minute after that because of what this means! :O so the movie MALLRATS exists in the MCU, and not only that... it means that The Watcher Informant actually was Stan Lee inside the MCU... so that would mean that Marvel Comics could also exist inside the MCU, and "Stan Lee" based all his superheroes on the real superheroes... okay, there's smoke coming out of my ears :D
oh, i have to mention... the only thing i don't like is that they used 4 real cats as Goose... is that really still necessary today? they clearly had a great CGI cat for several of the scenes, so why not use that for all the scenes?
aside from that, i don't have anything negative to say about the movie. of course, by far the most moving scene in the whole movie for me was the mid-credits scene with Cap and Black Widow and the others... but that's understandable, because i've gone through so much with those characters in the last 10 years, and Carol Danvers new and i hardly know her... i still don't know how Captain Marvel won't just be ridiculously overpowered compared to most of the other Avengers in ENDGAME, but i will not doubt Kevin Feige again, ever. in Feige we trust :D

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward
(2011)
the most important film ever
26 January 2011
this film is life-changing and hopefully world-changing.
filmmaker Peter Joseph has created a must-see documentary that doesn't only analyze the main problems in the world in a never-before-seen way, but also offers a real solution.
there's no more "conspiracy theory" type information in this film, as used to be in the first ZEITGEIST.
this is a profound, professional, scientific work of genius.
if you ever watch a documentary, watch this.
spread this movie wherever you can, this information needs to reach everyone in the world.
