Interesting premise. Is it in Chinese with English subtitles?
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
Proper prolonged upside down is a different topic though, I doubt that is possible, considering wing airfoil not designed to create much lift that direction. Maybe with some considerable tail-down attitude, relying on the engines to provide the upward force. But only try this at home, in a simulator...

Is anyone here watching Andor besides me? If yes how are you liking it?
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
1) "See How they Run" -- The only thing I saw here was how fast I fell asleep during the second half. What a snoozer. One review said this resembled a Wes Anderson movie. Not even close! Boring with little ha ha ho ho. ** out of **** stars. I suppose someone out there might enjoy this, but not me. Bland, uninteresting, uncompelling characters.
2) "Watcher" -- Ohhh yeah. This was a great stalker slasher thriller. Someone is outside your apartment, across the street... and looking in. You see them staring at you every night. And there is a serial killer on the loose. I liked this film. A lot. #%&*$# good Hitchcock style picture. *** 1/2 out of **** stars.
3) "Tone Deaf" -- Ever wonder what millennials do when you speak down to them in a movie? Watch this and find out! Then read the reviews on IMDB, which reflect their displeasure. Their vapidness is on full display, here. Terminator 2 star Robert Patrick terminates some fools in this surrealesque slasher. There's even a bonus appearance of Ray Wise, whom some may recall played an important role in "Twin Peaks." Fun stuff here. ** 3/4 out of **** stars.
4) "Miracle Mile" -- I thank NFB for helping me choose this one. I had an 80s itch to scratch last weekend, and had seen this film featured in a retrowave video a while back but totally forgot to watch the movie. I'm glad I did. My favorite part was the ending. Whoever wrote and directed this picture had balls. Very gutsy and quite good. Tangerine Dream's soundtrack was a huge bonus. Crank this one up on the home theater and sit back for a ride into the past. Just ignore some of the 80s style California nonsense sprinkled within. Extra bonus points for those that catch hidden gems such as "Gravity's Rainbow" being featured by none other than TNG's own Denise Crosby. *** out **** stars.
Watched season 3 of Derry Girls on Netflix. Take my man card. IDC, it's a funny series. Many of the characters remind me of Newfoundlanders.

Because she had an inflated opinion of herself. Judging by her film and tv career that came afterwards it is quite apparent that she made a huge mistake.

Meh. I hate superheroes. The reason I watched the show, though, was because it was about people killing superheroes. That I can enjoy. Except this show transformed from killing superheroes to belittling and crushing half of America--those who lean conservative, to the point in Season 3 where it became quite blatant.
The writer of this show has serious personal issues he needs to solve with himself, for his tropes and stereotypes are tired and overused by his own ilk.
What started out as a fun show has degraded into toilet paper paint by numbers. No surprises or twists and turns left, only stroke the egos of the target audience.
I don't really recommend this show anymore to anyone. The slant was pretty obvious in season 1, but only grew worse over time.
