Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “if you already own the Christopher Reeve Superman films, then go with The Rockford Files.” Alex says, “Sky Line has me really interested.”
Birds of Prey was, sadly, made just a few short years before it would have been really good. The CGI cityscapes are jarring, the costumes are when we still had big bulky plastic-looking ones, etc. Other than that, though, it’s not a bad show. It’s a Batman-without-Batman with all-female leads.
And if you haven’t seen Watchmen yet, you need to see Watchmen.
I actually liked Batman v Superman. The funny thing is, had I watched it in the theatre originally I’d probably not have enjoyed it as much. But watching it at home (with a pause button) was a different experience.
Ugh I wish there was an edit button, or a preview button… I obviously missed turning off the italics…
Administrators have edit buttons. Otherwise, I have no idea what you’re talking about…
Thanks for the assist (;
Return of the Living Dead: everyone needs to see this one.
