Wife watched the preview, seemed interesting so she loaded it up for the kids, didn't make it past the intro with the little brat raging out and whatever. I get it... but maybe for more older kids than mine... kid blames robots for everything bad. QQ rage rage oh good robot helps me save the world from bad robots, see I told everyone they were bad.
So I assume she never really matures eh from the intro

I was shocked how good this movie was TBH. Technically it had moments which were close to Pixar quality, and almost always up to snuff with Dreamworks/PDI stuff.....and it was mostly done by a Chinese/Canadian outfit on a Netflix budget:
Despite the raging SJW cuntwagon of a lead, the movie doesn't hold punches about the consequences (and reasons) for her attitude and it ends reasonably well. It's quite a statement by Netflix that they can even produce something of this caliber.
The jokes were timely and if you're into the mass automation/singularity genre it'll scratch the same itch as Big Hero 6.

Iron Fist season 2, anyone caught this yet?
I have watched the first ten minutes and still hate him in this role, something about just doesn’t work for me and the whole show doesn’t work as direct result. I hated season 1 and for comparisons sake I didn’t watch Lue Cage all the way through season 1 and couldn’t be bothered to watch Defenders
Really losing hope for Punisher with way these shows have been going.

My daughter is watching Big Hero 6 again right now, just because of the latest Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer focusing on that movie.

One. More. Day.
These reviews have gotten me pumped, if it's just a continuation of the Youtube show (the best talk show I've ever seen - if you've not seen the Gilbert Gottfried bit about MS/Catherine Zeta-Jones you're missing out) I'll be over the moon. In a society where everything is an outrage, I'm glad there are still "men" working in comedy for those of us with some sanity left.

Not sure about an extension but I just use Edge for netflix as it has native 1080 support. It's not the greatest browser but works perfectly for just using Netflix. The windows 10 app is another option although it has some annoyances

Bizarre amount of murder and body horror in this...
Girl is pretty awful. they do show her having a bad homelife. but, still, first taste of power, goes on a murder rampage. Only gets called out once. robot then apologizes to her. Everyone apologizes to her, she never apologizes to anyone.
This world is a pretty nightmare scenario. Robots casually enslaved for everything. Robots without 1st law of robotics. And I mean, not even the "evil" robots. the regular ones will ALSO murder/beatup someone, if their owner asks them to, without a second thought.. there must not be any military or police. None show up after any of the rampages. And the entire plot is needing robot B to fight Robot A, again, as if there is no military to take it out.
Animation and art design was pretty great though.

This is available now. Wasn't bad, but wasn't quite as good as I think it could have been.

yeah, A dark song was ok. Not my favorite. but, notable for its fairly unique premise.
Saw a couple more netflix horror movies last couple days.
Malevolent.
4/10.
Not the WORST bad ghost movie I've seen. Even has a few interesting ideas. But overall, just boring. Not worth anyones time.
Radius.
hrmm. 7/10?
Fantastic premise. mostly great. I really wish the ending was a bit better, and the whole thing made a bit more thematic sense. Left really disappointed.

The dude was a serial killer seemed pretty obvious pretty quickly. I mean from minute one, "why was she in the trunk?" I looked, and did see some good arguments for the aoe circle of death being a metaphor for being around him. which great. makes sense. But, where do you go from that? We never learn any reasons for him being a serial killer, so him having character growth and learning... to not be a serial killer? makes no fucking sense. Amnesia cures serial killers? hitting a preset kill limit cures serial killers? what the fuck is the metaphor here? He sure learned his lesson. Shame 70 people had to die to teach it.. the random gas station local posse was a bit dumb as well.
A WAY more sensible ending would have just been her shooting him, and the circle of death passing on to her, as abuse does.

So far today on Lazy-as-Fuck Sunday I’ve watched The Conjuring 1, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle, Stephanie, and Oculus. Tried to watch The Babadook but only lasted 20 minutes and had to shut that shit off. Probably give Radius a shot next. Most stuff has been decent but horror movies just aren’t connecting with me. I need a good Lovecraftian decent in to madness slow burn or something.
