A woman with the powers of strength and PTSD is tormented by a former not-boyfriend and whose description spoils the show.

I watched this for a bit, and it’s slow and boring.

Based on the Marvel Comics character Jessica Jones, whom I hadn’t heard of until now.
I was only interested in this, because I know Krysten Ritter from Breaking Bad – (2008 show).
This takes place in New York City.

It’s the post-zombie apocalypse, and somehow in permanent-winter a nine year old is a whiny first world prissy little bitch.

There is no plot. Even if, and especially if, you like zombie movies.. avoid. I liked it at first, but it soon drove me mad with confusion and annoyance. I had to stop before the half way mark.

A girl who likes horses moves to Ireland with her mom and younger brother, only to discover some sort of mystery curse thing.

Meh, childish. I didn’t get to the half-way mark.

The story of Al Capone and his network of criminals being chased by the United States Department of the Treasury.

Overall it’s an entertaining, albeit predictable, film to me. I understand it was popular at the time, but I can’t imagine it’s held up well at all. It puts me off because it’s so very clean, yet has so much violence. There is a sort of strange “Disney violence” oil-and-water that makes no sense to me.

Build and fight with robot vehicles.

I played a bit of it, and it was interesting but didn’t really do it for me.

They won’t stop spamming me. Their mailing list unsubscription doesn’t work for me.

Though I only know him through Last Week Tonight, I love his personality and material.

Last Week Tonight is a political commentary Television show which posts some videos on YouTube. Some of its research and news material is quite impressive, and its comedic presentation makes it particularly entertaining.

He went completely fucking insane some time ago, and became part of the fake news / social justice propaganda network.

Driven by De Beers‘ manufactured value of diamonds, the story follows a robbery being investigated by police and an ugly insurance woman of some sort.

Maybe it gets better, but it’s slow and boring. Maybe I needed to see an extended-length pilot episode. This has John Hurt, but that’s not good enough for me. Maybe I should have given this more of a chance, but .. I’m not going to.

Has scenes spoken in the French language, with English subtitles. It takes place in France, so there are a lot.

There is a blackout and shit goes sideways.

It’s not bad, but I can see why people would give this 5/10. It’s a fair movie. It’s not compelling in the least, with characters I never really felt attached to. Maybe following multiple people worsens it.. cutting between them is jarring for me.

A cool dude with a cool car beats people up and drives a lot.

An adequate film for people who like films with cars, violence, violence to cars and cars used for violence. Otherwise this is an unexciting movie.

A tower defence game with space ships.

I didn’t play a whole lot of this, because the novelty wore off with the first one. However, it looks like this is more of the same: Highly customizable and extremely fun, but with poor replayability. Worth a bit of coin if you’re a fan of tower defence games.

I was able to utterly blow away the first two practice missions. It does look like it gets a lot harder. I think maybe this isn’t really for me right now or perhaps isn’t my thing any more. I think I would like this game a moderate amount if I spent more time with it.

Playing a few hours in, the UI is really annoying. That alone makes this game extraordinarily hard. I hate having to fight the game itself to figure all my shit out. I’m giving this a pass.

Like its predecessor, bonus points for the author throwing away all sense of storyline. Fuck all that shit, I just want gameplay. I’m not joking.

Support was dropped for this game. See Indie game developers move on. Or they fail.
