The Happening
That movie was just… retarded.
How had I never watched this movie? Classic late-80s apocalypse movie with strange blood sports that make no sense and people who make a living making armor out of spare tires in a desert wasteland while these pale vampire people rule the abandoned underground cities and watch the more formalized version of the blood sport

One of the quibbles I had about the new Star Trek was the “oh man, the one female character is having sex with her commanding officer” thing. It sucked, cause Uhura was in all other ways such a great update of the character. But see, I was reading this from the perspective of a white

I love this show.

“We are not a game, Nicholas.” I am sad we had to have a white male protag to follow around in order to tell a black guy’s story. The Ugandan doctor who saves his ass would have made a much better protagonist. Forest Whitaker is amazing in this movie. It’s worth every blessed penny to
