A particularly powerful plain text editor

It’s a great text editor, but its todo.txt functionality is wholly unusable and won’t be fixed.

A group of superpowered purchased-orphans try to save the world.

Fair at best, but not for me.

Mediocre bullshit, with terrible choreografoo, shitty effects and generally shit all around.

If you like the first one you’ll dislike this one. You’d have to love it to even tolerate this shit.

  • Properly titled John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

As this is offered by my host, I let it get installed.

While I had some issues with caching and BlogText.. they ended up just going away.

NOT RECOMMENDED .. because it I wasn’t able to easily remove it from my site once it had its claws in it.

A man tails a racist who goes back in time to arm the slavers in the upcoming American Civil War.

Fair I guess. Not particularly time travel or science fiction, but once it gets into things it’s more of a period piece; not my thing.

A fan edit of Star Wars – The Last Jedi – (2017 movie). It’s actually quite good, though its ending is incomplete.

Supergirl is super, and something about the last of the fleet that isn’t the last, and shit characters and shit writing.

The earlier movies are mandatory for this. If you thought the earlier movies were shit, then this is the nail in the coffin. Just let the franchise die.

A kickass preacher is infected with a power, and for some reason there’s a vampire.

Maybe it has potential, but it’s scatterbrained and kept sliding into slow moody boringness.

A highly-virulent weaponized virus breaks containment and wreaks havoc.

It starts strong then goes downhill into some odd religious stuff. Generally terrible later on. Worth watching if you’re into this genre.
