Look at these pretties

I just got an email solicitation from MLB saying I should vote for my favorite Giant to be in the All-Star game That's probably the most cruel email I've ever received

good night bluesky good night bluefriends good night tortoises good night zimbabwe good night nauseating loss of hope over the Giants good night good night

I just... I don't fucking GET it. What the fuck is HAPPENING with the Giants? Are we ACTUALLY under a CURSE? How do you start the season so strong and then just fucking LOSE it? HOW? And how do you FIX it? HOW?

“WHO YOU CALLING A BUNCH OF PANSIES?!?”

It's difficult to tell on creatures without recognizable emotions, but the way this guy's rear legs are holding on make him seem desperate

Here is Part 2 of my assault on Wonder Woman 1984: comicsbreakdown.com/2021/01/11/u...

This is San Francisco. Some entitled motherfucker just parks right in the middle of the street, no hazard lights on.

and here's a secret: ultra fit people... can still die. sorry if you didn't know that

the only reason to be ultra fit... is so you can do ultra fitness things. it doesn't actually mean you do better at everyday life. you don't need to be ultra fit to drive a car or balance your checkbook or give to charity or help other deal with trauma

and since I'm bitching about things, I just saw that there are calisthenics championships and... you do whatever you want with your life, I'm not going to try to stop you. but ultra fitness is a snake eating its own tail.

By the by the way, there was a trailer for "F1" the movie, starring Brad Pitt Who just looked bored throughout the entire thing. And if you're going to sell me on the drama of this character, fucking get someone who actually FEELS vulnerable. Not Brad Fucking Pitt who nobody buys as an underdog

I almost forgot the HALF HOUR OF TRAILERS before the movie. What the fuck is THAT? Do movie companies not realize the Internet exists? From now on if I go see a movie in the theater, I'm arriving half an hour late just to avoid my time being wasted by trailers I can see any time I want online

So there you go, MI: The Final Reckoning. Fucking most stupid shit I've seen in a long time. What the fuck even HAPPENED?

Jeezly CROW I've not been this angry at a movie since Wonder Woman 84. And I have PROOF of this, because I fucking did a whole THING about it on Comics Breakdown: comicsbreakdown.com/2021/01/07/u...

I'm so fucking pissed that this movie is doing well. But then, I bought a ticket, and they don't give you your money back if you hated the movie, so there you go

Oh! And Esai is about to escape from Ethan off the plane, and he outright SAYS: "ONLY ONE OF US HAS A PARACHUTE HAHAHAHAHA" before getting his face bisected by the plane's tail somehow. I guess? AND THEN ETHAN IS SHOWN PULLING THE CORD ON HIS OWN PARACHUTE WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

And at one point the President decides to shut the power down on the works to prevent the Entity from taking over IF IT WAS THAT SIMPLE ALL ALONG WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY DONE IT? WHY HASN'T EVERYONE ALREADY FUCKING DONE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Not to mention that, again, we don't know how mig the Entity is, how long it will take to get into the device, etc. It's just so fucking STUPID

Oh, they say again and again that the Entity will get into the storage device in like a tenth of a millisecond or some shit, at which point it has to be removed from the mainframe before it can realize what's happening and escape. NO HUMAN CAN MOVE THAT FAST. PERIOD.

Did I fucking miss anything? Let me think

And again, the endlessly messianic drivel vomiting forth from EVERYONE'S MOUTHS about how fucking IMPORTANT Ethan Hunt is was making me roll my eyes so hard the people in front of me had to turn around and ask me to stop making the squeaking sound of them rolling in their sockets

Oh, and the playing-up of Jim Phelps's son as some kind of MEANINGFUL THING was just fucking ridiculous. It meant NOTHING.

Fucking Benjy didn't even get to do his adorable Benjy thing in this movie. He was so tacked on he shouldn't even have been IN this movie except that I guess people expect it

Oh, and after NUMEROUS pieces of dialogue telling the audience how dangerous the depths of the freezing fucking ocean are, we get a scene where Ethan STRIPS OFF HIS PROTECTIVE SUIT AND SWIMS FOR AT LEAST 50 FEET UNPROTECTED IN ARCTIC TEMPERATURES NO NO NO YOU FUCKING DON'T

And hour and fifteen minutes: that's how long it took for ANYTHING to happen. I know this because at one point I looked at my fucking phone. Holy shit, what a fucking waste of time this bullshit was

And the idea is to trap it into a storage unit? First, how BIG is the Entity? What's the data transfer rate going into the device? Like, if you're going to make a plot point out of this, you can't fucking fault me for asking these specific questions, because the WRITERS DIDN'T

Also: this "Entity" business: it's old fucking hat, Hollywood. Nobody's scared of your stupid fucking AI. What does it want? How is it 'alive'? How does it do anything? What are its abilities? What's this cult that's sprung up over it? All this shit is so poorly-defined it's ignorable.

Oh, and the Black dude who's now part of the team for some reason goes "I got nothing to do in the server room; I'll stay out here". WHY? We've JUST established that everyone out here's gonna die. You're just gonna commit suicide for LITERALLY NO REASON?

The Inuit wife of a character I barely remembered was cool, but there's a scene where she's trying to teach Hayley Atwell how to say Inuktuk words for the dog sled. Why? She's been with that American dude for 30 years. HE can speak her language, you mean to tell me she can't speak English?

What was the fucking point of killing off Luther? And in such a shitty way? There was no emotion to that. All that happened was me mentally screaming at the screen YOU'RE WASTING TIME TELLING EACH OTHER SHIT YOU BOTH ALREADY KNOW SHUT UP ALREADY

I'm gonna spoil some shit, so if you care about such things, turn away right now.

Esai Morales was a great villain in the previous movie, but he barely DOES anything in this one. I got no read off him whatsoever. But hey, it's a nice paycheck for Esai, so I'm happy for him.

What a waste of Nick Offerman. But I should've known that the second he appeared with no facial hair. Wasted. Hannah Waddingham does an amazing American accent, but of course she does. Most Brits do. Also, a complete waste of Angela Basset.

And hey, you want your Ethan Hunt to be determined, commited, unstoppable. In this movie Ethan just looked confused and lost for most of the time. What a fucking bummer if this really is the last one for him, but after this one it SHOULD BE

BARELY any fights in this. The airplane stunts I didn't give a shit about and went on too long. Same with the underwater shit. I didn't care, I couldn't tell where he was at any point, and in fact totally forgot about why he was doing any of it in the first place.

And here's the thing about the MI movies: they're simple actiony fun. You don't have to have a complex plot; in fact, the simpler the plot is, the better, because then you can focus on the stunts and fighting, which this one absolutely didn't do.

And never before have the obligatory Tom Cruise running scenes felt more obligatory. There was no reason for him to have run all the times he did. It never ever made him stop anything on time, he never caught up to anything or anyone, he just ran.

This is absolutely the worst Ethan Hunt hair of any of the movies except maybe the previous one, which might have been the same, I don't remember. It was stringy, it was badly cut, badly styled, and I wonder if it's actually a wig?
