Futurama: The Prince and the Product (2023)
What were they thinking
This episode caught my attention for all the wrong reasons. There were so many out of place moments, non-sensical gibberish and a poor execution of "story telling" (if you can even call it that) that just made my blood boil.
I mean, in a mere second Leela falls in love with her "one true love" a space prince whom we know nothing about and thus abandons Fry like a discarded crusty old tissue. What makes even less sense is that Fry is made to look like a chump, immediately succumbing to this bizarre reality. It's just so out of character for him. Towards the end of the episode, things go back to the way they were with Leela and the professor explaining Leela was controlled by a "space spell"... I mean come on, really.
Secondly, what even were those mini stories? Are the writers trying to appease viewers that watch Cocomelon? I honestly could not tell you... I literally could not follow the pacing, nor understand what was going on at any one time.
Writers, please re-visit your older work to remind yourselves what made Futurama so great. I miss the originality, creativity and love you once had for the show.
Collide (2016)
Great film for cinema junkies!
I decided to watch this movie at the last minute while in Bulgaria. I looked at the trailer for the movie when I got back and could not understand why there where so many negative remarks towards it. This movie has great actors (Ben Kingsley, Nicholas Hoult & Anthony Hopkins sure played the heck out of their role), plenty of action (Car chase scenes where outstanding), pure comedy gold (Ben Kingsley, enough said) and a very interesting if not engaging story. Even though at parts I would consider that the film isn't very realistic, but like all movies, there are always plot holes which is why I'm not giving it a low rating.
Overall I enjoyed the movie and would definitely watch again. Just a shame it's not yet released for the public in the United Kingdom.
