The Remarkable 80's Bar and Grill

Watched the whole season of Naked and afraid XL. I wasn't a fan of the show before but this season caught my attention as they did it differently. It was twelve people split into teams of four, and they had to survive a harsh Columbian jungle. Although I find the -naked- part of the show pointless, it was good t.v. These poor suckers had to endure 40 days this time. There are points of the show when I think to myself, NO WAY....spiders? Fuck that, I wouldn't make it. Spiders the size of dinner plates, snakes that could kill you in one bite and your body covered in insect bites.....no thank you.

Also watched The Boy

A horror movie about this girl who agrees to watch the son of this old couple in a large mansion. The old couple are leaving (presumably for a holiday) and she has to watch the boy. Problem is, the boy is a lifelike ceramic doll. The movie gave me the creeps and I won't spoil it with any scary parts.
 
Watched Furious 7, although the action was well paced, it didn't have as much bang as previous entry's.

I'm way behind on those. I never saw the 4th so thus I missed 5 through 7 too. I won't see movies out of order, OCD and stuff. I see every series in order of release. Even if an entry that canonically take place earlier comes out later on.

They are pretty good action movies. Worth a watch IMO.

I'm the same way but worse...if a movie I buy has any sequel or prequel, I have to buy it as well. I have dozens of movies that I own and never watched because of this.
 
Soon I'll be purchasing a PS4, then I'll have all the consoles. Two Xbox 360's, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Wii U, Xbox One. I'm really looking forward to picking up the Uncharted Collection for PS4, those games look really good.

Lemme know when you get the ps4, I'll add ya on my friends list
 
Why would you need a ps1 when the exact same console is inside of a ps2 with much less chance of it breaking?
 
***Spoiler Alert, this is about Batman vs Superman. If you have not seen it, avoid this review. *****


The movie starts out in the final moments of Man of Steel, except we are in Bruce Wayne's vantage point, he's racing through Metropolis as buildings are crumbling around him left and right. Bruce's boss\friend is last to leave a building that is half chopped by eye lasers, killing his pal and thus his hatred of Superman is born. (It was actually General Zods eye lasers, using them -uncontrolled- for the first time).

The movie has three or four dream sequences. Some of them are dumb, like Batman floating out of a well by a swarm of bats, and one is crazy....Superman has a legion of mercenaries and Batman tries to fight them off only to get his chest punched in by Supes....(???? Why ????). ... and some that you have to research unless you're the worlds biggest DC fan. The guy yelling in an electrical void for Batman is The Flash. I had to look it up.

Anyway.....Lex Luger, I mean Luthor is trying to frame Superman. He sets up a terrorist thing in the desert and people die while Superman saves Louis Lane. Anyway.....Lex Luthor (acting too much like The Joker by the way) then plants a massive bomb inside a wheelchair so it kills everyone in a Parliament building while Superman is on trial. Superman in this scene is left with a -Doh- expression as he stands inside the burning room, he failed to detect the bomb. I would think a second or third cut would've helped, maybe get Superman to look like he gave a fuck....moving on.

Lex Luthor is not done, he gets his hands on General Zods corpse, he also acquires time inside a crashed alien ship that is close to Metropolis Bay. He also kidnaps Superman's mom so Superman will kill Batman...(WTF??? Why??? What does Lex Luthor have against Batman suddenly).

Going off base a little, let's rewind back to Batman after he had his fucked up Superman dream. His stolen
Hard drive thing he got at a Lex party shows Icons of other DC heroes like The Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and somebody else. This is a tidbit to make the Dawn of Justice make sense...(as well as Batman's ending conversation with Wonder Woman)...

Back to Luthor, he dips Zods body in an alien pool inside the alien ship and adds his own blood to it. I assume the ship told him how to do this off screen. He was chatting with the ship earlier.

Now we finally get Batman vs Superman. Batman vs Superman is stupid on paper right? How could Batman even last ten seconds against the indestructable alien himself? Its just a bad match up to me. Anyway the answer is....Batman is way smarter than Superman. He got prepared, he set up traps, he put himself in heavy armor, he built a Cryptonite spear, Cryptnite exploding bullets and whatnot. They fight.....

......and Batman wins! Batman has Superman down, ( cut cheek and all) with a boot on his neck and the spear raised for the final kill. Louis Lane saves Superman's life.

Lex Luthor raises DOOMSDAY from his earlier experiment. Doomsday is one powerful son of a bitch. He battles Superman into space and both take a direct NUKE blast by humans and Doomsday survives. Superman is revived by the sun. Batman (in the best moment of the film) rescues Superman's mom from a bunch of thugs. Now the rest of the film, Batman is pretty much useless because he has no superpowers to even stand a chance against Doomsday.

Anyway....Wonder Woman and Superman defeat Doomsday (with the slightest help from a Cryptonite bullet from Batman) and Superman gets skewered in the process. Superman dies at the same time as Doomsday. Batman talks to Wonder Woman, yells at Lex in jail...movie over.

The final battle was splashed in heavy, heavy C.G.I and was really underwhelming. That was supposed to be the big moments of the film and it was just done under layers and layers of ho hum special effects. For crying out loud, why couldn't Doomsday be a big animatronic instead of pure C.G.I. It would've looked WAY better.

Casting decision for Lex Luthor was a mistake in my opinion. The guy came off like The Joker (minus laughing) instead of Lex Luthor. Worst Luthor yet. Ben Afleck as Batman was not bad.

In the end, if I had to give this a final rating it would be a 5/10. I liked the worlds view of Superman during the first half of the movie. One too many dream sequences, heavy C.G.I fighting is underwhelming to me for some reason. I know its necessary but it doesn't come close to fooling the mind's realism eye. I liked Man of Steel better than this, but not much. DC has got work to do.
 
Skipping the review in case I ever feel the urge to see the movie.

Just wondering how you're doing, bro. Know you've been through some shit lately. Hope you're pulling through okay.

I have low grade lymphoma tumor, even though its the size of a tennis ball. I'm going to be getting Chemo next and that should take care of it and to throw out a prediction, I'm hoping I'll be in remission by September.
 
Back in Dark Souls for Xbox 360. I restarted after getting nowhere with a warrior. This time around I selected a sorcerer. After defeating the first boss pretty easily with the sorcerer I knew I'd have alot more fun playing this game now, and it has. Instead of getting my ass kicked by the very annoying skeletons, I discovered a staircase in the north heading up. It ended up being a great, great racking spot to level up. I leveled up my magic into the 20s pretty quick. Now my little soul arrows are devastating to unblocked creatures. I rolled through a charging goat demon, an impressive Bull demon on a castle wall top, right up until a giant dragon fried the shit out of me next. I snuck around the dragon into a Dead Church area. There's a few tough enemies in the area, plus a goat demon. I had to run by an area to avoid getting ganged up on. I ended up on the roof of this church-like building, only to get defeated by a giant Bell Gargoyle that came to life. He doesn't seem that hard with my Knights shield as I can block his attacks without taking damage. I'm starting to like this game more than Dark Souls 2.

Check that sum bitch out, felt too intimidated to fight properly and got slapped around until I died.
