Watched Maleficent: Mistress of Evil last night!
...oh god, I now understand why Disney has been just rehashing old IPs instead of trying to write anything original. Holy cow, that was weapons-grade stupid.
EDIT: I have since been able to borrow my friend's Netflix account, and have used it to check a few items off the list of "Things I haven't seen yet but probably should for the sake of completion".
I have made terrible, terrible choices from the start.
Getting a running start with Spider-Man 3 (the only one of the original trilogy I hadn't seen), I then maneuvered myself towards Pacific Rim. Much internal yelling at the screen was had, and shaking of fists at Guillermo del Toro's otherwise upstanding reputation as a filmmaker.
Transformers, Godzilla (2014), and Pacific Rim 2 later, I decided to try out something new with Netflix original Spectral, which I'd seen wandering around the list a few times before. It was bad, but sadly also just good and smart enough at times to not be so bad as to be funny or outstanding. I'd also like to see a ranking of films based on how many times the term "Bose-Einstein condensate" is used over the course of a movie.
Now I'm suffering through Transformers 2, which sadly does not appear to have suffered enough sequelitis to replace the atrociously irritating male lead (who is, at this moment, currently being moderately unfaithful to Megan Fucking Fox).
This is apparently the kind of man for whom the "Do not eat" warning label on socks is necessary.
