What? I generally hate too many explosions. That newer Superman movie sucked because of it. And Arrival was the best alien-themed movie in over a decade, so you must have me confused with someone else.

The part where Waltz and Robbie were eating had a joke(?) that you'd only get if you were very familiar with Victorian eating niceties: if you didn't like your meal you left your silverware on the plate. She did this, and Waltz's character huffily took her silverware and put them on the side of her plate, which is what you do if you enjoyed the meal. I appreciate the attention to detail, but I didn't get it until I just happened to be reading the IMDB page.

Lots of individual parts that seemed interesting but the whole was just so underwhelming.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There's actually less ape action than you'd think, It was more in the flashbacks than in the 'present'-day parts. Though that's hardly a reason to decide to see it.

Thank God for libraries, I'm seeing a ton of crappy movies this year for free because of them.
