  2. -Take that Waltz was depressing and good at the same time. I love depressing movies though, so take that with a grain of salt.
    -Thor, does it have Loki? If it doesn't have Loki it's not worth watching, lol.
    -I read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and wanted to poke my eyes out. I can imagine it would be a way better movie than book, but it's still super fucked up.
    -Serendipity, awww. This will always make me think of frozen hot chocolate because they actually serve that at the restaurant. I make it at home and it's deeeeeelichhhhious.
    -I didn't watch Seal Team 6, but I did watch Zero Dark Thirty. Those movies always get to me, despite all the errors because Hollywood.
