It’s no secret why ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’ isn’t very good
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” follows in the footsteps of “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” “Thor: Ragnarok,” and “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” as apology blockbusters. These are all mega-expensive features following up on box office hits that also proved divisive critically. So now it’s time to confront the flaws of their predecessors cut out extraneous characters, and give the people what they want. Sometimes you get a “Star Trek Beyond” out of this approach, other times, you get “Attack of the Clones.”

My truest haven
I have never been a big television watcher. As a child and teen, I do not recall watching programs during the week, and I was gone most weekends playing sports and performing music, camping, creating, or hanging out with friends at church. My time and energy have certainly waned as I have aged, but my desire to remain active in mind, body, and spirit has persisted. Although I watch more television than I once did (and more than I should), I do not enjoy it long enough to justify spending anything more than a monthly streaming subscription for movies. The caveat is I receive no local channels. I did not realize this to be an issue until a few days ago.
