Last two movies I watched:
Sabotage: Disappointingly lame Schwarzenegger film, because the action you spend all movie waiting for doesn't really happen until the final scene (which is very entertaining, but comes way too late). Look, I don't watch action films for the plot, because I know the plot is going to suck. It's just there to set up the action, so... let's have some action.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier: See, here's a group of writers that understood that with enough action, your plot doesn't have to be watertight or even make a lot of sense. Fun, action-packed, and just funny enough without seeming silly (at least, to a comic-book geek).

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
