Yeah, the first Ant Man was a good movie. Same with Guardians of the Galaxy - first was good, last was stupid.

I started "The Flash" on Prime.
I didn't get past the opening sequence. I don't know how long that sequence was because I bailed before it was over, but the part I did see was too long. I've got better things to do with my life.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
The movie they should have made instead of the Crystal skull abortion. This movie was just as good as the last one was bad and went back the template used by the first trilogy. If there was any agenda or signaling in it, it wasn’t enough to bother me as I didn’t notice it. Very entertaining and balanced an old Indy still adventuring vs reality (mostly). Even worth paying to watch if you’re a fan of the originals.
A thoroughly terrible movie. The HISHE folks did a terrific parody of it.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Watched the second season of Reacher. Reacher and three friends take down a massive operation the likes of which would normally require some three-letter agency or two. Little bit of a stretch there. HOWEVER it contains maybe the greatest line I've ever seen in a TV show Reacher grabs a bad guy by the throat and says: "You make one noise and I'll tear your trachea out and your last thought will be 'holy shit, he really did it.' " I had to pause the show to laugh at that.
