True Detective: 6 Reasons Why Season 2 Hasn't Worked...

           (This was written as of Episode 5) I read an article (http://bit.ly/1Dqm34y) which further reinforced my stance that True Detective season 2 isn't very good. It basically asserts that people are having a hard time understanding the show. I'm barely able to follow it myself, and when I am, I kinda don't care. I mean, I only just realized that Colin ferrall's character is named Velcoro (before I thought they had been talking about velcro or something). If I hadn't looked up Rachel McAdam's character's name (Bezzerides) I never would have figured it out... Here are 5 reasons why this season has come up short...

This is literally how I look after watching each episode...
1. The Plot is Confusing:
I don't get the conspiracy with the mayor or Masuka from Dexter. Something about diamonds and a missing girl...?  

2 What is Vince Vaughn Doing Here?:
His acting is solid, but I don't think his character is really that essential to the show. Every time he comes on screen I know I can run to the bathroom... 

3. Taylor Kitsch is Boring:
His character is the least interesting on the show. I get that his character is conflicted and down on his

Comic-Con: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailer...

           I could have cared less about this movie after that first teaser came out. But I'll admit this trailer peaked my interest. Here are my thoughts on the new Batman v Superman trailer...

This movie needs to up the brightness...seriously...
1. Jesse Eisenburg Does Not Belong in This movie:
Why he was cast for the role of Lex Luthor, I will never know. Yes he has Kryptonite and Zod's body but that won't be enough to make up for that ridiculous haircut.

2. I'm Actually Sold On Ben Affleck as Batman:
It looks like Affleck could really show us a side of Batman we haven't seen. Between the grey streaks and the angry looks, I think we

Comic-Con: Fear The Walking Dead Trailer...

           We've finally gotten our first major taste of the new Walking Dead series, and it looks pretty good... Here are my thoughts on the new trailer...

1. Reminded of World War Z:
Chaotic city scenes? check...getting stuck in said city? check... getting taken in by a Spanish speaking family to ride it out? check...This show is taking its cues from World War Z the same way The Walking Dead's pilot episode

Comic-Con: The Walking Dead Season 6 Trailer...

           Judging by the trailer it looks like Season 6 will give us a little more of everything...

1. More Zombie Action:
Thats the Rick face we all love...
Occasionally this show throws out some zombie-less episodes. Doesn't look like Season 6 is going to have this problem. I'm actually happy to see Alexandria's walls get breached...

2. More Morgan:
It's taken him 6 seasons but Morgan will finally join the show in a meaningful way. It's hard to tell what kind of relationship he'll have with Rick considering that...
a) the trailer see's Morgan approve of Rick's method's while b) simultaneously claiming to be able to stop him...
