Work

Ugh!

Movies

Watched the remake of The Magnificent 7 last night. The first half of the movie, while not fantastic, was pretty okay. The second half though, the whole battle in the city, was not good. It was basically violence for violence's sake and was not visually compelling like Fury Road or Dredd. To make matters worse, while the first half of the film was fun, there wasn't much there to attach you to the characters, so when shit finally does hit the fan you're not emotionally invested in their well being. It honestly makes me wonder why they even felt like making the movie in the first place. That said, I loved Vincent D'Onofrio's character for being a burly mountain man with anything but a burly mountain man voice. So, props for that.

Cars

When the Sixth Gen Camaro came out, I wasn't really impressed with their styling design. It really felt like an update on the Fifth Gen's revision. Now that it's been out for a while and I've seen more and more of them on the road, I've changed my mind. They look good.

Friends

I don't know if I said this previously, but another one of my friends finally quit their shitty job and is working for the county's Job and Family Services office now. So excited for them. They're gonna kick ass.
