Black Mass (2015).

Is' gud... A bit slow here/there, but overall good follow through.

Does it cliche' quite a few generic mob themes, yea, but's unavoidable. Really's just the fault of the mobs having little imagination when it comes to their catalogue of businesses.

Some of the actors did the south boston accent well,  Depp, mmmm.. not as gud'.. just passable.

Image quality is gud, the filmgrain does shimmers a bit in places, maybe it's cgi, not sure.

Finished 3 Billboards.

Pretty gud..  Slow burn, but they had enough comic relief so things never got too stale.  Not an HDR showcase, but the fire scenes looked gud'

In 1983, this is what Hongkong-cinema thought pirates looked like.

Ok, seriously, major plot hole here.

What kind of Ghostbusters Lipos are they using which can sustain a racing drone + Ghost catching trap w/ steel casing.

Ok,  Finally powered through, made it to the 3rd season of Star Trek- Discovery.

Tp4 no longer hates it.

Still not loving it, but now he's too invested to stop watching. Will admit fully, it's still alot better than the majority of television.

Nonetheless it feels like an abusive relationship.

Oled finally does justice to dark skin tones.

On LCD, for example, in dark scenes, black people actually look blue.

Jus' sayn' Tp4 would not design a Starship bridge that shoots fires from the walls.

It's just controls and displays, do they really need ultra high voltage conduits for that?

Fohat would require that spaceships have seat belts.
How the hell or why did you become a DEMO-crat?” He asked.
“Long story, but it started with Nixon, then I was educated and know history as the Republicans are all about getting power to exploit it to their benefit, while Democratic politicians, for the most part, are for distributing things more equitably. I’ll finish with the overwhelming sociological and psychological evidence in studies that identify that conservatives see the world through inherent inequity where the elite or those who seek to be elite are superior to the commoners, and it is they who should lead. At the same time, liberals look at the world as inequality and seek to make the world more equitable, and that all should be represented. Ultimately, conservatives trust those in authority, while liberals inherently distrust those in authority to take advantage for themselves or their constituency.”
He looks up and says, “No one ever explained that to me, and then asks, “If **** Cheney thinks that Trump is that bad, then it's not about DEMO-crats vs Republicans, is it.”
I resume walking and then say, “Hey, you got it; it's the Democratic and old Republican parties versus Trumpism, which is American fascism aided by the Russians.”

The future is too reliant on inertial dampeners. A deadly mistake.

Honestly, 

Still not onboard with "Black Alert" after 3 seasons, it's so silly sound.

Like you'd expect Mr.T to jump out and tell us how we shouldn't do drugs. Followed by the koolaid man, Oh Yea!
