going to see JL

I've decided that I'm gonna go see Justice League by myself at the local non-chain cinema today. It'll be cheaper there anyway, and hopefully moreso with cheap Tuesday tickets. Plus, schoolday, so shouldn't be too awful. (Although Yr 12 have finished their exams, but hopefully they've been out partying for the last month or two, so not too many up-at-middays.)

If not, eh, I'm supporting a local cinema instead of the big cineplex.

Most of the critics have been negative about it, but Gail Simone and a few others liked it, so it's not all bad, and I'll take that as a 'jury is hung on the matter' rather than 'don't even bother'.

pumpkin pie

Since I have a spare pumpkin from last summer, there are plans...

Pumpkin Pie With Pecan Praline Sauce at Smitten Kitchen

Bourbon Spiked Pumpkin Pie at Sugar Hit

The downside is that I don't have anywhere to take it and eat with people...

Justice League: the short of it

I enjoyed it. It's a generally team-y superhero movie of how the band gets together - like Avengers, only for the DCCU.

The things that people have been fuming about were marginal in my view. There are holes, but there are always holes in movies, it just depends whether you're going to pick at them or not.

( vague and general spoilers, none for plot )

Obviously mileage will vary, but I strongly recommend seeing it and judging for yourself. There was nothing that I felt I needed to spork my eyes out; and I came out with the desire to see it a second time to let it all sink in.

Bonus: the ticket was $8.50. In the cineplexes, they're easily $22+.

Finally, there are two trailer teasers, so stay all the way to the end. (You should know this from Marvel.)
