About a month ago I stumbled across this webring.
Webring, I hear you ask, is this 1996? No, this is a current, active webring. I find that infinitely charming and nostalgic.
It’s also how I discovered a thriving community of personal websites: neocities.org, which reminds me of high school, when we’d handcraft each individual page. Again, nostalgia.
This may have led to me researching Jekyll static sites — but that’s another story…
It’s been a while since I’ve last been at a drive-thru cinema.
It wasn’t the best movie-watching experience, but it was novel.
We watched Novocaine – No Pain.
I don’t know why I watched this… it was so bad.. it didn’t even have interesting action scenes.
Only consolidation prize was me and my partner laughed about how bad it was as we walked out.
It was less bad than I thought it would be, though it’s strange to be told that our new Captain American is not a super soldier and yet he can be stabbed, or go head-to-head with a Hulk and not die.
I kind of understand what the movie is trying to do; it’s a love letter to stunt people and physical stunt effects.
However, as a movie, of any genre (rom com, action, mystery), it just doesn’t work. The pacing is bad, the story is barely coherent.
The “plot” is just an excuse to string a series of stunts together.
So, maybe worth watching on a streaming service you’re already paying for, if you have nothing better to do, and you’re interesting in watching stunt scenes.
Over half the movie is a recap of season 1. There was no need to make this movie; they should have just put the ice elves arc into season 2.
What a waste of time and money.
