When I was young, I watched all the Ocean movies as they came out, and was thoroughly bored to death. I always thought maybe I was just too young, but I revisited the first couple movies last weekend and I'll be honest, I was still bored to tears. I kinda get the movies now, but there's not much to them. It's just a lot of big name actors shooting the shit with each other. It's all talk, every scene is just tlaking about random shit, and every once in a while advancing the plot when they feel like it. Brad Pitt is always eating. Not just a few times in the movie, but every single scene he's either eating something, drinking something, or wiping his hands of something he just ate, or picking at his teeth. It's always something.
And from what I could tell of the first two movies, they each only have 1 particularly memorable moment. In 1 it's when you find out they ARE the swat. in the second it's when Julia Roberts plays herself. And then everything surrounding those moments is just like improvised nothing. The second movie, nothing in it actually matters! Cause when they fail at the end, you find out they'd already stolen the item like before the movie began, and everything we were seeing was just them pretending to fail to steal a fake item. So the whole movie was exactly as pointless as I felt like it was. Jesus these movies are not great.
Marie Kondo on Stephen Colbert was so adorable. Now I wanna watch her show for some reason. She's like magical or something.

Geekly Weekly TV Rankings ( ➤ for new):
- GenLOCK *****
1x02:This new show from Rooster Teeth is really good. So turns out Michael B Jordan has a really good reason for leaving Dakotah Fanning thinking he's dead for 4 years. He's literally just parts floating in a tank and then he projects his mind into holograms and giant robots. Which, is totally stealing one of my future ideas for Adrift, but that's beside the point. Maisie Williams was finally introduced, and her scottish accent is awesome. This show is just great. I have no complaints.
1x03: This show is so good! I can't get over how quality this show is. I just had a grin on my face like from beginning to end, but especially when Maisie Williams GenLocked with her mech for the first time. Also everything with Dakotah Fanning. I can't believe she moved on with someone else! When she, and her new boyfriend, had to run drills with the team, and then her Ex stepped up, I was really hoping he'd make short work of the other two, and then somehow she'd be better, or maybe just know him better, and would catch him or hold the line for just an extra moment or something. But there was nothing like that. Frankly I just want her to have her own crazy ninja mech thing. I think she's deserved it, having to think her ex was dead for 4 years. Even if she did move on. - ➤ I am the Night *****Write up coming later.
- ➤ Hanna *****
Great pilot. Really well directed. The cinematography was top notch. I was surprised it was directed by a woman, not because I didn't think a woman could direct something so quality, but because it was SO good, visually, that I thought they might have brought a name in for the first episode. Stunt director. But no, it's a woman I haven't heard of, and she knocked it out of the park. I hope she gets more work after this, she deserves it. Hanna was awesome, the acting is superb. The scene where she tastes her own period blood is a little bizarre. The little relationship she has with the polish boy is kinda cute though. I'm hooked. Though I'll be less hooked when they release the rest of the season in one chunk. It'll go on my to-watch list and I haven't even gotten to Punisher S2 yet. I wish they would release these shows one episode at a time. My life is crazy enough as it is. - High Maintenance ****1/2
Another great episode of the show. The storylines this week were a little harder to get behind than others. I hated the woman in part 2. She was horrible. But then it all kind of paid off when she went on that drug trip, wakes up the next morning, looks at the sunrise and is just like "CHEMTRAILS!" The kid in part 1 was adorable. - ➤ Arrow ****1/2When the episode started, and it was all a documentary, I was super disappointed. Especially with no Supergirl on Sunday, I was jonesing for just a normal superhero story. And the documentary angle got old fast. But then thankfully they DID drop it, and it was those moments that really shown. Including a scene between Will and Zoe which was adorable. I called that. I've been shipping them for a bit now, and finally it's happening. And it's cute. Mine that for gold Arrow writers! Don't abandon it like you always do with those kids! I like that he was expelled. Too bad there was literally zero more time for him after that bombshell. Also... more young Zoe please.
- ➤ Black Lightning ****This was a really good episode of the show. I saw people commenting that this was the episode that finally made them like the show. The fight scene was awesome, between Anissa and those gang members. It was also fun seeing Jenn's protest against the principal, and Jefferson pick up her fight after she was escorted out by the guards. That talk between Jeff and the principal was so hilarious. "Good Talk" was the perfect response. Even the stuff with the mad scientist women has funny moments. Well written. Good episode.
- ➤ Les Miserables ****Good episode, the barricade stuff was strange on subtle out points, but over the top at others. And I've never really understood why Jean ValJean dies at the end? I flat out laughed when Cozette was like "Your hands are cold" "That is because I am going to die soon" What? Why? From what? You were fine six weeks ago when she left on her honeymoon. Hahahaha, I just realized why the honeymoon was so long. It probably took like 3 weeks just to get to the place, and then they got out, was like "This is fun" spend the day, then jump back in the carriage for the three week trip back. Anyway, so a somewhat weaker finale to an otherwise fantastic series. Oh and Javert's wrap up was pretty good.
- ➤Star Wars Resistance ****
Great episode of Star Wars Resistance. I liked Kaz doing everything he can to help Sinara even though she's a pirate and a spy. It was kind of adorable, the chemistry between them, and I kept hoping they would kiss. Repeatedly there'd be this lingering look between them, they'd close the distance, and then nothing. That was probably on purpose, and to be frank I prefer the other girl. THe pilot. She's more immature, but... nope guess that's it. I just like when women act more like children. .....I'M KIDDING! God. Stop calling the FBI. ANyway, I like em both, and maybe they can just drop Kaz from the equation and lesbo threesome with the engineer? I should censor myself more, my one fan hates it when I make things sexual. - The Goldbergs ****Fun episode of the show that focuses on more of the aspects I care about. Erika and Geoff take center stage with their relationship, and those two are easily my favourite characters. I'm happy the show didn't break them up. ALso the mother dind't have too many annoying moments. I find she's best used when she's not overused. She can grate on me sometimes. And Adam was doing what he does best, be a nerd being put in non-nerd situations. All around decent episode.
- Brooklyn Nine Nine ***
It was a fine episode, I've just never really cared much for Gina at all. In fact I've always found her annoying. There were funny parts for sure, I think my favourite Gina moment goes to...the first one. The chess was alright. I got more and more bored as it went on. And trying to get Amy to burn her book was just mean. Poor Ames. - The Big Bang Theory ***Like Brooklyn Nine Nine above, it was a fine episode with plenty of funny moments, but nothing too memorable. Stewart might had some of the best scenes with his adorable new girlfriend. Aww, they're going to repopulate the earth together. I am excited about the promo for Lenard abstaining from sex with Penny for some reason. Can't wait to find out why that is. That could be fun.
- Gotham ***
This is a week of mediocre episodes. WHich sucks that I've had to watch them one after another after another. - The Orville ***A strange slow episode all about Issac and the Doctor getting involved and having robot sex. And no, none of it was played for comedy, as per usual. With my current mood, it was hard for me to stay awake, but it was mildly charming at points, and Issac was a total dick when he slept with her and was like "Well, I'm done."
- Riverdale **1/2
A slow rolling investigation into who killed Hiram Lodge. It was clear they were going for a noir detective tale with Jughead, and for the most part it worked, but at the same time it worked at boring me to tears. But I have watched way too many shows this weekend. Peak TV is too much right now!
