Welp, no writing today (breaking my streak, darn it).
I went to go see Doctor Strange, and the combination of a mind-bending movie and the disruption to my sleep schedule has pretty much wrecked any hope of getting some story down.
That's fine, I'll just get extra-extra serious about it tomorrow.
The movie?
It was great! Not the greatest movie ever made, prrrrooobably not as good as Winter Soldier or Civil War, but still a really excellent time. The cast was great, Cumberbatch kills it as Strange, everything was interesting, the visuals were just about where I wanted them, in terms of color and trippiness and showing us glimpses of a far deeper reality than anyone else in the MCU is aware of (save for Thor, of course).
I like this Stephen Strange. He's maybe a bit more jokey that I'd have preferred, but not so much that I was ever really annoyed with him... and dear lord, I'll take a little extra humor over a dismal funeral dirge of a film (like DC keeps making) any and EVERY day of the week.
Great stuff.
If I get a chance, I might go back and watch it in 3D, just to see how it looks.
