One thing came to mind when I watched this film, Pound Shop Jason Bourne

Alright then, trying to be serious...the entertainment industry seems hell-bent on churning out mind-numbingly stupid content. But there's something to be said for a *invoking movie-critic hyperbole* nonstop thrill-ride of heroic dering-do. Yeah, the movie was dumb, but nonetheless enjoyable in spite of that. Sort of like my dog. He's literally - not figuratively - the dumbest dog I've ever encountered, and yet he can't help but be a lovable little idiot. He's not supposed to split atoms. He's supposed to do dumb shit we can laugh at so we don't focus on the humdrum banality which is modern middle-class married life. I'd actually watch the movie again, just like I wouldn't hesitate to adopt another dog, even knowing he was the canine equivalent of the whoever green-lights $20M production budgets inside Netflix.
