The Incredibles 2 (2018)
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
2018 | Action, Animation, Comedy
2018 sequel to the 2004 original, with this one largely switching the focus away from Mr Incredible to his wife Elastigirl, and with this picking up almost immediately from the end of that previous movie in a world where Superheroes are real, a common occurrence, and outlawed by a society that is sick and tired of the destruction that seems to follow them around.

Not everybody feels that way, of course, with some citizens wishing to undo the outlawing of the same, which here provides the catalyst for the plot.

Enjoyable? Yes.

As much so as the first? That's a tougher call ...

Since I'm home, sick with the flu, I decided to watch both Fyre Festival documentaries.
This was the one I watched first, and it focused more on the setup of the festival itself. It was kind of amazing to watch the clusterf*** from the inside, and it was kind of humorous. It was interesting, and a complete train wreck. I really hope that d-bag that was in charge of it didn't profit from it at all, because that'd be really messed up.
I do find it hard to sympathize with all of the rich kids and ridiculous 'influencers'. If it seems too good to be true, it is.

4DX big mistake
I went to see this in 4DX. I wish I hadn't, it took so much away from the movie (I even felt sea sick) I couldnt concentrate enough to become too emotionally involved. But focusing now on the actually film, it was breathtaking, I felt on edge throughout the duration of the film, i didn't know what to expect but I am pretty sure I felt close to what they all felt. I felt a part of it and if the 4DX didn't get in the way I would have been a wreck, I'm sure of that! Well made, great acting and such a raw and real movie.

When I started watching this series this morning, I didn't think I'd finish it in a day. But, I really wanted to know how everything shook out.
This docu-series made me sick to my stomach. There were so many victims, and the reaction from the church was disgusting, even more so to me since I'm Catholic(ish). Law enforcement really dropped the ball, rather, they never picked the ball up.
While this is billed as more of a who-dun-it regarding Sister Cathy's murder, it was more of an exposé. It was very unsatisfying in that regard. Though, I don't feel as though the murder will ever be solved.

"I probably listen to the National more than any other band, and this record was my way in. I can’t say it’s better than the rest, especially the last few, but it’s got a special place in my heart. If I could ever get sick of listening to it, I would have found out by now. This band takes a while to get into in my opinion, at least it did for me and others I’ve known. Matt Berlinger’s baritone crooning and unorthodox rhythms took a while to open up to me but quickly became a balm to the soul. Try the song Bloodbuzz Ohio."
