Bird Box, and not by choice. I'd like to see the guys at Screen Junkies do an "Everything Wrong With" on this one. I think they would be pretty busy. It was kind of irritating to watch because of character stupidity and because of a total lack of practical reality (running great stretches of distance blindfolded through the woods - deep woods - without immediately catching a branch in the face or tripping over roots/rocks/deadfall, for one easy example). It has cliche after cliche, a predictable plot and plot devices (at the hospital the camera needlessly lingers on a smiling woman on the phone, going overboard to show us she's happy...gee, I wonder why), and a premise that actually makes suicide a good and reasonable option for the protagonists. The writer pretty much walls off all hope of meaningful, long term survival so why are we supposed to be pulling for the main characters to survive?

Batman vs Robin - was okay, although Damian again seemed too strong and Batman too weak.
Batman: Bad Blood - I enjoyed it. Maybe there could have been more of Dick and Damian as Batman and Robin, but overall it was fun. |

Had to leave the room? Was the show That bad or did you get a case of the MacDon’s?

The only flaw I saw was that they didn't stay at the grocery store. They could have "slowly" driven back to pick up the others and driven back. But they acted like staying there would be abandoning them at the house.

There are more examples but those spring to mind. As for stupid writing? How about going hours on a fairly shallow and winding river while blindfolded in a rowboat without hitting old driftwood, rocks, or the shore? Finally they hit one rock something like 28 hours into the trip, but come on. And remember when the crazies show up right at the driveway of the house they just wandered into about 5 minutes earlier? Like they knew where to find them? Why? And since it's been 4 or 5 years since the "event," where in the world are the crazies getting usable gasoline for that car they drive up in? Are other crazies still running refineries and trucking fuel around the country for them? And if seeing the entity on a video screen makes you turn, I have two questions. 1) Why didn't newscasters and viewers turn upon watching footage of the event as it was happening in Russia? Did the entity get camera shy or was it unbelievable luck that no news crews happened to film it? 2) Why are the crazies forcing people's eyes open and waiting for the entity to come into view? Why not carry a Polaroid of it around and trick people into looking at it or at least use it in lieu of waiting for the entity to come by? Just....aaargh!
