    I like the first 1/3 of Event Horizon.
    This is how it starts. First, you just try out his most acclaimed movie, just to get a taste. You almost apologize for liking it, and you doubt you'll ever go beyond that. Next, you tell your friends you're busy this weekend, but you really want to watch the Resident Evil movies sequentially to get a better sense of Anderson's emergent photographic interests. Before you know it, you're blowing video store employees so you can score a region-free copy of rarely-seen debut Shopping, and your mom breaks down into tears when you interrupt Thanksgiving dinner to offer an unrequested take on the self-reflexive underpinnings of Soldier.

    Yeah, none of that will ever happen. RE is the worst. It has 3 of my least favorite things - it's based on a video game, Milla Jovovich, and Michelle RodrÃ*guez.

    I love these two women.

    Now that I think about it, Rodriguez would make an excellent René Montoya.

    One more. I always use this clip to illustrate why I enjoy Batman among other superheroes way more than him as a loner vigilante.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Is there an order to watch those movies? I'd love to sit down and mow through them.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    They are not movies, they're episodes from Justice League and Batman Beyond.
