I haven’t written anything this month. I’ve been very distracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much of that distraction has been video games, as you’ll see in a couple days on the MEVGWU. But a other stuff is going on too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like, for instance, I saw Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em> last weekend. It’s good. Not really fantastic, but it was enjoyable enough that I didn’t fall asleep. I just didn’t really feel very strongly about it in any way. A perfectly average film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best part was that it takes place in an alternate universe, and as such it was allowed to have its very own, very excellent-looking, retro-futuristic visual identity. It’s too bad that it’s going to get absorbed into the rest of the increasingly bland MCU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The worst part is when they send an eight-months-pregnant woman into space. I don’t care if she’s a super hero. There’s just no way. And then they spend the rest of the movie protecting the baby at literally all costs. It’s… I mean, a lot of things happen in this movie just so the plot can move forward, but that was the least believable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was fun to see on the big screen, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Also the tickets were just shy of $25, which is way out of control. I’d like to go see more movies in the theatre, but when it costs just as much as it does to buy them? Hard to justify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway, that’s all for now. Maybe I’ll write more in August. Maybe I won’t!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I haven’t written anything this month.
