6. Nope.

Present and accounted for!

And furthermore, I’m NOT into any of this Avenger stuff, or whatever the latest contrived “superhero” type is. OR a lot of reckless car chases. Or a whole lot of gratuitous shooting and outrageous guns ‘n’ ammo and big-ass over-inflated musculature and gnarly-looking hairy hormonally-expanded or half-metal (usually male) mutants. Or a lot of explosions and fight scenes and wholesale destruction and other special effects. NO!!!

So fucking tiresome!!!

Shit, why don’t they just arm a bunch of enlarged penises and send ‘em into fire ‘n’ brimstone “battle”? Or have a movie featuring a hero who actually has big-ass guns popping out of his skin? How far will they push it?

Just fucking TIRESOME! I look at the ads for the new movies. Yawn. “Nope.” “No, not that one.” “Crap. Are they kidding?” “Screw that!” “Oh for Pete’s sake...” (which quickly turns into “oh for Fuck’s sake!”). Leafing through the movie section of ANY Sunday paper, that’s what it is, for me. Or it’s all this animation stuff that - when that’s all there is, over and over and over and over and over and more of the same over and over and over...

Discouraging. There’s virtually nothing worth going to see. Maybe because now is the front porch to “summer blockbuster” season.

I’d rather settle down with a good book. Or the Mueller report.
