The Weekly Legal Update

Just like last week, things are happening (good things!) but because of the nature of the things, there isn’t much that I can publicly say, other than that they are good things and we’re looking at the end of the tunnel here and it’s a bright white light and not fire an brimstone. Maybe by next Monday I’ll have an Official Legal Comment from the attorneys that are on the case. Maybe not.

What is a sure thing though is that we’ve spent an absolutely obscene amount of money thus far and only raised about 1/5 of the money needed to get this thing over the finish line. MCS has always just barely made enough to keep me drunk, so I guess it was a good thing I had to stop drinking back in February due to that heart / liver situation. I’m not even sure I would have made it through all this if I still had a resting BP of 200/150, so I guess that was fortuitous timing! If you’d like to throw a few dollars into the fund, the absolute best way is to paypal to webmaster@myconfinedspace.com or visit the MCS Legal Defense Fund donation page and make it a recurring donation then I’ll do my best to give you MCS+ for the duration! Stop by the discord channel if you don’t see the benefits of MCS+ within 24 hours of your donation!

The second best way is to join the MCS Patreon at any of the levels that you feel most comfortable.

The third way is to write a prayer to cthulhu and burn it so that the ashes land on his unwaking face.  As your residential minor deity, I’ll share his dreams of madness and be strengthened by them.

“Hungry Gods” review

New costume? Check. Superhero mentor? Check. Government conspiracy to cover up the End of the World? Uh… check? Luke Gillis is barely dragging himself through college. Of course, if he wrote term papers the way he thrashed bank robbers, he’d probably be a doctor by now. His mentor is the Miracle Worker. Yes, that Miracle Worker. Some say he’s more outlaw than hero, but beggars can’t be choosers. Still, Luke must be doing something right. The U.S. Army has invited his alter ego–the dashing speedster Spitball–on a top-secret mission. With the country’s premier superhero team missing-in-action, this could be his big break. If he doesn’t get eaten first…

Another book from the “The Superhero Spectacular Book Bundle”, this one was written well enough that I enjoyed it for the most part, but there wasn’t enough world building to make me want to continue reading the read of the books in the series. Also, the lead character is a bit of a unappealing twit at times, which turned me off from wanting to see good things happen to him.

“The Creator” Review

The Creator: Directed by Gareth Edwards. With John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Gemma Chan, Allison Janney. Against the backdrop of a war between humans and robots with artificial intelligence, a former soldier finds the secret weapon, a robot in the form of a young child.

There’s a lot to like about this film, it has a gorgeous visual pallet, an interesting back story, an amazing world built for the characters, and a premise that really made me want to see it opening day, but sadly I don’t think it delivered on the high expectations. My main complaint is where the plot actually went and the fear to actually address artificial intelligence as something to be both feared and appreciated, but it instead gets wrapped up in an attempt at a multi-layered allusion to racism, colonialism, imperialism, parenthood, and technology. It’s fine to cover a few of those things, but it’s still a bit much for just a two hour film to try to cram in. I think it would have worked better as a 10 part mini series on one of the premium streaming channels to cover each of these items in an hour long episode.

I still suggest seeing this in theaters due to the visual spectacle that really does impress, just know that the plot suggested in the trailers isn’t fully realized in the final product.
