‘Captain America: Civil War’ trailer
Why is Black Widow on Iron Man’s side? Are we supposed to care? The dour and unpleasant Tony is an aggressive prick. Hawkeye and Black Widow brawl. Get lost Spiderman. Tony is out of harmony.

‘The Fall of the Roman Empire’ (1964) was ugh.
Dear relative: stop making Easter Sunday all about you and your drama. Stop going through the kitchen drawers and throwing out perfectly good scissors and bottle openers. Don’t insult red wine that was a gift. Stop stomping around making sexist comments, leaving doors open and moaning about what’s on TV. Stop being lazy and not cleaning up your mess and frying a mess in a pan. Also stop screaming about sheets, being ungrateful and thankless.

Cleared out a 2002 tape. It began with a season 6 ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ ep ‘Tabula Rasa’ in which Spike is still not staked. Giles is planning to leave cos he is a tool. There is an amnesia spell. This was not a post-modern oddity just a stark contrast between what this show once was and what it became. Then came an ‘Angel’ ep ‘Billy’ which was tasteless and less salubrious. Cordelia tries to have insightfulness. Lilah is a target of vitriol. Angel is all brooding contradictions. I’ve no natural inclination to care.
Then came a ‘The Pretender’ ep ‘Flesh and Blood’ in which there was bad acting and goings on in the one of the deadest rural holes. This had no laudable elements just cheap emotion. Then came another ‘Pretender’ ep ‘Mr Lee’ which was a clip show. There was a painful parable this was not tinged with emotion. This had an ill though through script and no old fashioned meditative feel.
