Amen to that. Though I have enjoyed all the Transformers movies. I also liked the new Godzilla movie that came out.

There's nothing wrong with the action genre, but it often ends up being so much schlock.

Take The Raid, for example. That is superb.

I know! But, two things:

1 - She has a child, so I am not sure how that'd influence a lot of the relationship and I have never dated someone with children.
2 - Recently she has been dropping cues she might still be interested in her ex who left her pregnant.

-sigh- I prefer not to chase her not because I can't, but because I feel she's way out of my league.
