After meeting people trying to make it big in Hollywood movies, a criminal weans himself off of his old life to try it for himself.

Maybe it’s because I saw it “back in the day”, but even after re-watching it I still really like it.

Inspired by Get Shorty – (1990 book), by Elmore Leonard

Something about alien technology being invented on Earth for some reason, and when an engine is shot it somehow makes a SuPerHERo, and something about the tesseract which I think was the invention but isn’t it a power stone?

It’s awesome. It must be awesome, because anyone who doesn’t think it’s awesome hates women. So I’m told. No really, all the movie people and reviewers and media all say that. Well ahead of time. As if they knew it wouldn’t be a good movie ahead of time and wanted an excuse for all the “troll reviews”.
