Portlandia (2011–2018)
8/10
If you gave this lower than a 7, you just don't get it
28 January 2018
This show is incredibly funny. It is very dry, and there is no laugh track, so if you aren't into that type of humor/show, this isn't the show for you. They are particularly good at making fun of hipster overly sensitive liberal culture, while also making fun of the other side of the isle. There is something in each episode for every type of person. Sometimes, the humor isn't obvious. It isn't quotable. Its not something you can go tell your friends or share on twitter. A lot of it relies in the actual plot itself, or the subtle delivery from the actors. Sometimes it makes fun of movies, TV shows, or other traditional forms of entertainment. It doesn't stick to making fun of one type of person, and it doesn't stick to one type of humor. If you have a broad sense of humor or can at least appreciate their varying forms of humor, you'll love this show. If you only think very specific types of humor are funny, you won't like this. This show is brilliant, creative, and doesn't care about if it hurts your feelings.

Great movie for people who like movies- maybe not so much for true Star Wars fans

Warning: Spoilers
Honestly, everyone is being really pissy about this movie. As someone who has seen all of the previous Star Wars movies but isn't necessarily a die hard fan, I enjoyed the movie. There were plot twists and turns that you don't normally see in typical Star Wars films, which are usually pretty predictable. The film is visually stunning, so if you're in the mood to just look at something pretty, this is the movie for you. Star Wars fans are upset about this movie because it breaks away from the norms you see in traditional movies (with some beloved characters becoming.... less beloved), but for people who appreciate interesting plots and in general just decently made films, this is a pretty good movie.

***SPOILERS AHEAD*** Just had to put this here. It seems as though many fans are upset about Luke being not-so-perfect-and-pure this go around, calling him whiny and just not what they are used to. BUT Luke has always been whiny!! Literally just go back and watch the movies, you will see it! I personally just think all the Star Wars fans like to live in this nostalgia bubble without consorting the facts.

Honestly how does this have a 7.2
26 January 2018
I had very low expectations for this movie, having seen the original jumanji. If you are looking for a movie that is just simply entertaining but requires no thought process, this is your movie. I'm not going to say its the worst I've seen, but its not good. Some jokes are funny, some obviously miss the mark, but what were you expecting. I gave it a 5 because its "eh".
