Ruddo, I don't know how many times I can say this... it's not on a Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Jesse Eisenberg's Lex was truly awful, I don't know what he was going for but he failed spectacularly. Just came off as annoying and the weird noises he kept making felt forced. Cavill is a truly dull Clark Kent/Superman, and I don't know why Affleck is getting so much praise because he was forgettable as well. He's not a bad actor, but he brought nothing new to the role. Perfectly serviceable, but that's it. He looked awkward and goofy in the costume too.

Anyway, I needed a long shower to wash that mess off me last night. This morning I watched Creed for the first time and I really enjoyed it. Stallone puts in a nice, understated performance and I think they did a good job of providing that feeling of history and a long life lived through Rocky. Good stuff.

Going to see Suicide Squad tonight. I don't know why I do this to myself.

Eh. Pretty underwhelming. Anything having to do with their art as a first amendment issue was the best stuff. The rest felt downright procedural, like the picked every notable event and song and just said, "Ok, let's just hit all those notes chronologically." I don't think it told me a single thing about these guys I didn't already know, and I was a casual fan at best. Maybe more fun for someone who wasn't consuming this music when it was happening?
