I wasn't obsessed with Lego movie either. I find those a little too busy visually, to be honest. But they're still good.
Ah, Scantron. I remember those.

I definitely took my sweetass time (More on Why Later) getting around to grading some papers this weekend, which means students will get them back Wednesday. I had them marked up, but this was one where the grading will be a bit weird because there are things they should know by now, but also some stuff I haven't gone over I won't take off for. So that will be "fun."
Just got the 63 audio projects I'll be needing to grade in today. More "fun."
Also, I think the schedule has me giving my writing class another lab this Friday on top of letting them make up the not-completely-objective parts of their last assignment and my Intro Social Media class will have to do presentations/abstracts (so just one page, but more writing to grade) this Thursday.
Why the hell do I assign work when I know it's just more work for me? What is my problem? At least good ol' 101 is still just Scantron tests. Scantron is a robotic superhero for teachers and professors. Thanks, Scantron, for making things sooooo much easier.
Anyway, I can't pretend the reason I was late on grading was because I had car or health issues or something legitimate. No, I knew this was my last truly "free" weekend for a while and took full advantage.
I played more Rise of the Tomb Raider after getting stuck on a certain puzzle and feeling dumb about the solution (Ok, so THAT's why the post was there next to the other thing I needed the rope for ... well, no shit). So I've made ... 1% of progress into the story (totalling 26%) but with all the side stuff I'm doing, Lara should be overpowered by the time I need to do anything special.
I rented Suicide Squad and Magnificent 7 for 50 cents each via PS+.
SS was not as bad as the Tomatometer would have you believe. I'd say it's a little better than the Thor movies, which are my least favorite of the Marvel ones. Generic? Sure, but still fun enough that a rental didn't seem like a bad decision.
As for M7, it seemed like a really good movie from what I saw of it. Really need to work on my phone addiction ... so can't really say I saw most of that one, but the opening was great and the glimpses I caught from there were really well shot.
In theaters, I saw both Lego Batman and John Wick 2. Both were exactly what I was expecting and both were great for what they were.
I'm definitely in the minority on liking Lego Batman more than Lego Movie, but I do. I liked that one too, but I wasn't near as obsessed with it as everyone else seemed to be. Yeah, Batman is "more for kids," I guess, but that doesn't mean "bad." And come on, there's even a dick joke in the movie, so some of it was for parents. The Cinema Snob said he just liked Return of the Caped Crusader more, which I can't speak to since I've not seen it. I thought LB was side splittingly hilarious though, so I enjoyed it.
John Wick 2 was the first one, but better for me at least cause I saw it in a theater, unlike the last one I saw at a friend's place. It takes longer to get going than you would think, but once it does it doesn't stop. Think The Raid and The Raid 2 as somewhat comparable to this series, but with more knee and headshots than karate chopping action.
Whelp, if there's gonna be a week where I miss BaD, it'll be this one. I'll try not to, but in the meantime, stay toasty Pixlbits.
