Yesterday I caught Part 2 of Rebel Moon.  Once again, Zach Snyder proves he is the the ultimate, self-important, pompous sci-fi douchebag.  Let’s all marvel at the intense visual spectacle that I am actually embarrassed to say took me halfway through Part 1 to figure out this is just The Magnificent Seven in space.  Seriously, they even made the Asian girl a literal Samurai.  My guess is Snyder wrote the screenplay without ever watching either Western film, let alone the Japanese film they hawked to make said westerns.

Is it entertaining?  Sure.  Does it have the annoying girl boss character?  Yes, except it takes place on a moon so the super strength thing can be explained by gravity.  She also technically has a backstory suggesting she actually had to acquire her skillset which is 95% applied violence and 5% sex appeal—provided you are into lesbian Sarah Connor types.

Also, I couldn’t tell if they had laser or plasma weapons, that bothered me for some reason.  Shoot a guy and it has a fluorescent orange splash when it hits raises a couple questions.

¡enlaces!

Let’s start with the white pill.  The chatter on TwiX is the lone holdout on the jury wasn’t a vote to acquit, it was to convict.  Which means 7/8 people from the part of the state my family is from don’t think he did anything worth throwing him in prison.  I won’t be surprised if they try him again.

The press is going to try to turn her into a sympathetic figure like they did initially with Trudeau, aren’t they?

Meanwhile, Mexicans in the US are a confusing bunch.

Here’s a tune, have a nice day
