I don’t understand why anyone actually likes that movie, and I guess I never will.

it’s also a movie where bruce willis’s strange affect actually builds the character instead of creating a hurdle to get over.

I don’t know. The insulting lingo sounds as if it was delivered by someone who was brought up in or lives in North America. JMHO.

It’s about as good as any superhero movie, which is to say…

that brings back an old old joke where the teacher asks if someone in the class could draw something exciting on the board and this one kid puts a dot in the middle of the board and sits down. after a pause the teacher asks what it is. says the child “it’s a period. my older sister missed three of them and now the whole family is in an uproar.”

Meh… Superhero movies (including Chris Reeve’s Superman, Wonder Woman, Thor Ragnarok, Hancock, etc.) are in my experience at best fluffy dumb fun entertainment*, and at worst hyper-normative derrivative unentertaining trash. I am happy to have my horizons expanded, but, am also happy to take them where they stand.
I would differentiate superhero films from other films based on comics (e.g., anime from manga, Tank Girl, etc.), and somewhat from other… uh… endowed hero genres (wuxia, transhumanist science fiction, etc.) but yeah. To date, meh.
Please don’t hate me.
* Except Black Panther which was fluffy dumb fun entertainment with beautiful pan-African dress, music and artisanship.

Intriguing. And I don’t mean that ironically, I’d actually like to see your matrix.

I would contend that Super does not fall into either of those categories. One could argue that it’s not, technically, a superhero move; but if Batman qualifies, so (IMHO) does the Crimson Bolt.

the horizontal axis represents whether the circumstances are voluntary or involuntary, the farther to the left the more involuntary while to the right the more voluntary. the vertical axis represents whether the likely outcome of the boring experience is desirable or undesirable, the farther down the axis the less desirable the outcomes. so being required to wait in a room for an authority figure to give you a total chewing out at work would trend toward the bottom left part of the matrix while waiting in line for a rollercoaster would trend toward the top right part of it.

Thank you for having the courage to speak out. Know that you are not alone, and that there are others out here who still respect the laws of physics.

I am struggling with the ideas that
- anyone might think they need a patch of grass in a box
- and then thinks better of it
- and that there is a company that sells such a thing
- and that a TV station should actually review it
- did the TV station apologise for promoting the product and bringing the consumer in touch with the company?
It is all too much
At least if she had received the pooch patch and returned it used that would have been a properly negative review.
