The second entry in B.K. Greenwood's 'Last Roman' series and, for some reason, this one didn't resonate with me quite as much as the first.

I'm not sure why, as it does follow the same stylistic setting as the earlier entry with chapter about being modern times/historical (I think I actually preferred this aspect of the two), and with the same set of characters as the first (bar a few minor changes); but maybe it was because I felt the 'U-Boat lost up the Amazon' had been done before?

(Personally, I kept flashing back to the Uncharted series of video games with that whole segment)

I will still read entry #3, however.

398. Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. A two hour long pitch meeting for a future Birds of Prey movie. Harley Quinn is probably the worst part about this movie, the character is super annoying. Right away you know you're in trouble, there is an animated beginning to tell how The Joker and her break up, then the movie begins and retells the tale of her breaking up with the Joker for another good portion of the movie. And because she's single, all the people she dicked over can now kill her. Gotham must be the training ground for the Galactic Empire's stormtroopers and bounty hunters, none can get the job done. To stay alive she agrees to help the crime boss Roman Sionis retrieve a diamond that was lost when it was pickpocketed on the street by a teen girl. Roman was a cool over the top character, but because the movie was so flat, his performance is muted. It depends on a lot of flashbacks, flash-sideways to fit all the other Birds of Prey characters. And the bean-bag assault on the police station was a cop out. Harley says a big FU to society, but even with the R-rating, that was definitely a PG13 sequence, reminiscent of the old 1960's Batman. Thanks for the blue lives matter public service announcement. Should have definitely included Phoenix's Joker in there, he probably would have shot her. Rosie Perez's Renee Montoya of course would have blown his head off afterwards, because she's awesome! Filmbufftim on FB
