Tojima Wants to be a Kamen Rider is just incredible. Honestly I didn't think until the end that they would let Tackle defeat Kamen Rider. Tournament episodes can drag but this is just unacceptable. This episode was incredible and it manage to make a fight exciting just when it should be getting boring.

In spite of how repetitive and derivative it is. The opening to this series is excellent. We've seen these beats before. Some of them we've been watching since Single White Female. But they're done with gravitas here. Just beautifully done. It's why it's so unfortunate that when it comes time to steer the ship now that it's at sea. The whole thing kinda just flubs around. I don't often say this but I think this is one of the rare examples where we got too _much_ time with the characters. It's certainly not the acting. We've seen them do the thing in the opening. But in a movie maybe we'd trim a few of the beats at the opening. Maybe drop a character or two but it would still be tight and it would force them to tighten up the ending maybe even foreshadow better.

I thought I knew what those green play emblems were a few months ago. Sponsored icons. But then I noticed today there are two different colors with two different meanings. But the colors are way too close.

Tracker 3x08 "Eurydice" ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ https://trakt.tv/comments/898371 #Tracker #trakt
Tracker 3x08 "Eurydice" review by wolfkin

There are so many contrivances to this episode. Tracker has to find a missing girl. She went missing when Mommy was blacked out on a bender. Now a year later a clue surfaces. The long an short of what happened was [spoiler] The girl whose father died a drunk or druggie was taken. Before anything could happen the father in law found her. FIL: I saw granddaughter at the store with mommy's dealer cut up from broken bottles. I knew daughter in law wasn't a worthy mother. Tracker: Not your call to make In spite of the huge head start. He still gets exactly 0 ft away before Tracker finds them and puts down grandpa... without murder at least[/spoiler] I'd argue it is. It's 1000 percent his call to make if he sees his granddaughter being abused which is what happened here. What tracker SHOULD have said is "you should have just called CPS" then at least tracker wouldn't look like an idiot. And break this entire episode. Because That's the key breaking point right there. I believe mommy changed. But at the time the daughter was in DANGER and it was justified to remove that daughter from danger. That said I don't think murder was necessary for that but we're past that now. The other headpounding scene here is when Mommy Dearest is interviewed by Jawline Dick. I don't even know if this counts as copaganda. Because it's stupid things cops actually do not things they portray themselves as doing. Jawline Dick pulls mommy into the room to talk with their mouths across the table from each other. This is TV the distinction matters. JD: Here's your personal diary MD: Why do you have my stuff? JD: Let me read this diary entry "On nights like this i feel like I killed my daughter" JD: Seems like you're guilty to me I won't go into the back and forth because it's mind numbing. Buuuut you can see what happened here. He saw the diary and asked himself: If I were a woman who killed my daughter and suffered from a toxic need for attention. Would I ever write it down in my secret diary? The clear answer is yes. The problem here and the problem with much of policing is they never ask the contranegative. Meaning: "If I were a women whose daughter was taken while I was on a bender and has now gone sober in AA, would I write this down in my secret diary?" To which the answer is also yes. This is why it's the definition of circumstantial. Would a guilty person run from the cops? Yes. But so would an innocent person if a cop comes charging at you, you run. That's not explicitly why resisting arrest charges are complete BS but it's part of it. Honestly some of the drama between the dealer and the dealer's brother and the bike kid aka the son, I just kinda never untangled but i just didn't care. Only on TV would someone who clearly cares so much for this child go through the grief of killing and hiding a body and then shooting a cop with barely a plan beyond that. I feel like they want us to see Tracker as this unemotional merc style character doing good by his rules at any cost but it just comes off here in this episode like he's blind to what's going on when he's the only one who knows what's going on. A note about Reenie being in town along with Randy moving in with Reenie and newbie Melanie is just lol. This really is a one many show but current style TV mandates at least 3 more people. I assume in case Justin Hartley turns out to be a racist or a homosexual or whatever^1. So they can continue the show and sub in a new person like The Rookie or Matlock or Die Hard and still have enough of the old formula to keep going like when Jeremy Renner became the new Jason Bourne. it's just funny obvious TV magic that all the secondary characters are now all in the same office so they can actually ya know ACT and talk to each other rather than over earpieces and phones. [1] Statistically speaking that whatever usually means sex pest

A free ride, when you’re already there.

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I’d say self defense isn’t murder.

I wouldn’t want to test that in court. That’s the kind of case only a white person could win.

Movie piracy is bad. That's why I want to know the best sites to block so I live free of sin.

I used to block dopebox.to, but since it doesn't work the way I want, I no longer need to block it.

What other good sites are there that I should block or whatever?

A feel-good movie about accepting yourself even if you're fat. It's cheesy and simplistic and childish. But that doesn't mean you can't tear it apart for some awful shots, middling direction and under developed characters. I don't know where this came from but it's all over social media in even more poorly edited clips. In the end it's generally not that offenseive. Missi Pyle playing the most stereotyped character that just hearing the dialog without looking up my first thought when I rewound her entrance was "this sounds like a Missi Pyle character. It's a fun enough message movie. Nothing anyone needs to go out of their way to watch but if it's one there are worst choices to sit through.
