2024 : "we respect our players' time : Diving & Event Raids are a way for our voyages to be more accessible, more engaging, easier & faster to get to"
2026 : "forget about that, we're killing the raids, enjoy, PVP sweats and streamers, it's free content catered just for you !" *sigh*

#PercyJackson, s2 : an adaptation of Book 2, this second season is still wildly uneven, kinda disjointed, with random changes (for budgetary reasons, maybe ?) & a strangely passive Percy. Can't say this was particularly convincing.

#Afterburn : a post-apocalyptic #action movie where Bautista has some explosive fun in eastern Europe, in front of the Killer's Game/Day Shift director's cameras. It's clearly some DTV stuff, it won't win any award, but it's entertaining enough.
3/6

#TheLongWalk : not much to say about this one, it's straightforward and impactful, though i'd probably have liked the Major to be slightly less of a caricature. 4/6

#Mercy : it's dumb, the writing is obvious, it's clearly content for streaming platforms, with all that it entails, but I'm still a sucker for Timur's screenlife movies. 3/6

#WonderMan, s1 : despite its chaotic production, this #MCU dramedy turned out fine, with a very likeable cast, some self-awareness & a gentle satire of the movie industry. Happy to learn it's been renewed.

#PredatorBadlands : a fun, very comic-booky take on the usual Predator motif, with plenty of #Action & an entertaining buddy #comedy vibe. A nice surprise, esp. since I wasn't convinced at all by the publicity stills of Dek the Yautja. 4.25/6

#TheOBriens : a very low-budget dysfunctional family #Drama #Comedy with some #romance. Amusing enough. 3.5/6

#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy 1x04-06 : Some improvements, inc. a DS9-themed episode. Prosthetic makeup is still wildly uneven, just like the writing overall. Could be worse, though... but could also be much better.

#RentalFamily : a predictable feel-good movie that mostly works due to Fraser's likeability, and the simple nature of the story. 4/6

#Adulthood : a dark comedy that kinda ends up being all over the place & piling on weird characters moments and decisions. Amusing, but that's about it. 3.25/6

#Fallout, s2 : a bigger, louder, messier season that I enjoyed much less than s1. Too many digressions, too many characters, too many flashbacks, too many cameos, I think this one kinda got away from them.

#BecauseOfCupid : your standard #Hallmark #Comedy #Romance, with a likeable cast & a touch of excentricity (love potions, Cupid himself, and so on). Not that memorable, though. 3/6

#Anaconda (2025) : a meta spoof of the Anaconda franchise, that feels like it got pitched after a couple of drinks & semi-improvised all along the way. Meh. 2/6

#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy 1x01-03 : Yikes. So, 32nd century S. Academy is basically a 20th cent. (very) american high school w/immature 20-somethings written like 13 year olds. Yikes. Hopefully it'll get better later on.

#Zootopia2 : Eh. I quite liked the first one, but this one didn't work for me. At all. Didn't care for the story, didn't care for the way Nick & Judy's relationship was written & overall, it all felt very artificial. 2.5/6

#TheWreckingCrew : a loud, dumb, messy buddy cop movie with a likeable cast that seems to have fun, and a self-awareness that kinda works. I went in expecting to hate it & finally, I enjoyed the chaos. 3.75/6

#TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea : a #DoctorWho semi-spin-off that just didn't work for me. It's unbalanced, uneven, and whatever Davies was trying to do with Kate just fell flatter than flat. Meh.

#ImChevyChaseAndYoureNot : yes, Chevy is still an arrogant, always-on, insufferable prick, but this doc kinda shows his vulnerable, insecure side. Interesting, and dare I say, even somewhat touching. 4/6

#LoveHurts : a very Jackie Chan-esque #action #comedy with a touch of Valentine's Day #romance. Likeable cast, but I wasn't sold on the main romance & on some overchoreographed bits during the fights. 3.5/6

#F*ValentinesDay : an amusing Valentine's Day movie with sarcastic, lying characters. Not really subtle, but as long as one's not allergic to the writing, it's enjoyable. 3.75/6

#FrenchLover : a french #Netflix romantic #comedy, slightly too long & too predictable, but Omar Sy & Sara Giraudeau are likeable & the movie doesn't take itself too seriously... until the final stretch. 3.5/6

#TheWishSwap : a weird, rushed #Hallmark #TV movie, where nobody reacts like a human being, the writing is awkward, and the whole thing feels unpolished. Too bad, I usually like Emily Tennant. 2.25/6

#ToBarcelonaForever : Ash. Williams' dilettante author decides to become a food critic. A more typical #Hallmark romance than part 1, probably too typical. At least both actresses got a vacation out of it. 2.5/6

#TheRoses : amusing revisit of the 1981 book, except US director + Australian writer + british leads = a weird clash of tones and vibes. Not necessarily bad, often enjoyable, but strangely uneven. 3.5/6
