The LEGO Batman Movie and other events

Today, I watched The LEGO Batman Movie. It was lots of fun, 4/5.

I can't give it more than 4/5 simply because the emotional depth and complexity of the plot was lacking. Mind you, it really isn't meant to be a thorough analysis on the human condition or anything - it's a fun family movie, and at that it does a fantastic job. It's hilarious all the way through, creative without restraint, and it was actually kind of interesting. I liked the way the plot developed and a couple of things actually caught me off-guard.

It was genuinely endearing and a very entertaining watch, no doubt about that.

Though, I must say that, by far, the most impressive aspect of the movie was the animation. The animation is just next-level gorgeous. It's a unique style, to be fair, so I suppose the expectations are a bit different than other, more traditional animations, but still. It was beautiful and dynamic, over-the-top without question, but maintaining a certain level of coherence that didn't make it feel like things were just flying around for no good reason. It was just very good and exciting!

I feel like I'm a bit out of the target audience, but I was still able to appreciate this movie.

There were several scenes in this thing where the pantslessness of the characters was pointed out, by the way. I find that to be very funny.

I also downloaded the first and second LEGO movies to watch soon.

On a completely unrelated note, I ate fried rice with mushrooms and tuna, today. It was super freaking delish! The rice was just regular rice, which was good, of course, but the mushrooms really put it over the top. My dad made some fried mushrooms some time ago, a few days ago, and I just kind of added them to the mix and they tasted really good. Admittedly, I'm probably the world's number 446 biggest mushroom fan, which isn't particularly high in the context of mushroom lovers, but it is notable in the context of the whole of humanity. It's an estimate I made up based on nothing, anyway. The tuna was also great; it wasn't canned tuna, it was like fried tuna steak. Super delish, ordinarily, but perhaps particularly so in the way in which I consumed it. I did add too much hot sauce, which caused a bit of an issue with my water consumption and general enjoyment of the meal.

I made enough to store some for tomorrow, so I already know what I'm gonna be having for lunch, next time.

Oh right, I also added a boiled egg. It was good, you know, it's a boiled egg. Hard-boiled, if you must know.

I have a lot of sweets and other nice things to eat in the house, right now, on account of my parents having been here until yesterday... But I'm staying clear of them at least until I get to 67 kg. I weighed in back at 69.9 kg after two days of slight over-consumption with the fam, so it's OK. This weekend I'll be having sushi, as well, so that might slow me down a little, but I'm fine with it. Just, stick with the program, and that's OK!
