Mrs. IM took me out for a date last night. We liked it. I am so sick of superhero movies that I can’t stand it. They had a trailer for Captain Marvel and I was repelled by it. I feel like I am going to see the next Avengers movie out of obligation, not excitement. I am done with CGI action sequences (they look stupid) and the whole idea that we are supposed to take comic books seriously as   literature is annoying. I realize there are exceptions, but most of it is pulp crap full of simple recycled concepts.

So I am probably a good target for a movie and trilogy like this. I liked it - and I especially liked that it had a self contained and complete ending that was not setting up a new character.

And no end credits scene, thank God.

I’m looking forward to it. I’ll have to watch Un breakable with my wife as she’s never see it and rewatch Spilt to see its as good as I remember. Altho Shamallama’s movies usodont hold up to a second viewing.

I haven’t seen the first two, but saw Glass last Tuesday or something (pre screening). Wasn't  expecting much being an M. Night superhero movie. Really ended up liking it.

Unbreakable was good. Split was fantastic! D amn shame that James Macavoy didnt get an Oscar for it. Not sure if he won any other award for that performance.

I know what cheer you right up: suing my HOA. I think it will be fun for both of us. And I want to learn how to sue someone in Civil court and write it all up.

I remember watching Unbreakable in theaters when I was a kid mostly because John McCain pissed next to me after the film. Thinking back on it, I think the Universe might have been trying to tell me something with that experience.

I still like that film, but don’t really classify it as a superhero flick.

Might have to check out Glass. Mr. Jackson is my black spirit animal.

There is a movie review RedLettermedia and they had a great one during one of the comic movies  “remember when movies had a plot”. I’m so burned out on CGI. Last fall I was visiting a sibling and Dantes Peak came on. yes there is CGI, but the way they blended real effects, still holds. up. I get more entertainment out of Die Hard than any other movie in the last 10 years.
