Let me just open this by saying AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Month: December 2017
Adaptations are hard.
After the devastating blow given by the First Order in The Force Awakens, The Resistance led by General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) leaves their base to escape their impending capture.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a race between the Resistance and the First Order to find Luke Skywalker.
Passengers is about a man who dooms a woman to live out the rest of her life with only him, after he is woken out of cryogenic sleep on a voyage in deep space too early for him to survive the journey awake and the loneliness drives him mad.
Collateral Beauty sees a man inconsolably grief stricken by the loss of his daughter that he writes to love, time and death as if they were people for therapy, his friends find this out and decide to gaslight him by hiring actors to embody those concepts, talk to him, and edit them out digitally to prove to the board at the company they all work at that he’s gone insane and fire him because his inactivity is causing them to go under.
What do all of these have in common?

I really hated Batman vs Superman. Podcast here, and it got on my worst of 2016 list here.
Suicide Squad was also pretty bad. Review here. It also made my 2016 worst list here.
Wonder Woman was way better than it had any right to be. Review here.
The DCEU has not had the greatest track record. Like, at all.
