The other night I had dreamt of Nishino Nanase. She was draped on my shoulder with her arms intertwined with mine and her chin on my shoulder. Totally fell in love with her again. Anyhow, the crux of the dream was me confessing to her even saying I liked her husband.
That’s about as much as I can remember a few days since the dream, and now, I’ve been searching for Nanase again…
Last night took a ghost tour at Gettysburg College. It’s the most haunted college in America, built on top of the dead from the battle. Every dorm has its own share of apparitions.
Not really. But they did have to disinter bodies from the grounds.
“Make it so.”
Captain Picard of the starship Enterprise.
It was yesterday afternoon that we had learned that Sir Patrick Stewart had died on Wednesday. This news saddens me.
He will forever be the Federation’s Captain Picard — my captain from The Next Generation which I grew up watching. Yet, he’s so much more. Gurney Halick in David Lynch’s Dune, the doctor in Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce, and of course, Professor X in the X-Men movies. These are all roles I loved him in.
Rest in peace, dear sir.
Gonna post this as we’re on the verge of World War III erupting. Go see Nostrodamus’s prediction. Dumb Donald has lit the fuse. The world is going to burn.
Stay safe everyone.

I hate it here. You hate it here. Then destroy browsermetrics.net.
Hope’s final fifteen minutes confused me. I thought it was just a straight up sci-fi thriller, action film, but it turned out to be the opening chapter of a series of movies. A trilogy? Two movies? Who knows? I went in thinking it was a self-contained universe, but left with a large universe to reckon with.
The last half even had no explanation of who was who or what was what. We just know that the aliens didn’t want to see some dude explode. Who that alien dude was only the writer knows. We’ll find out in part 2.
I think everyone going in wasn’t expecting it to be continued. It made people hate it for that.

Coyote vs. Acme was withheld from theaters a few years back because Warner Bros., the distributor, thought to save money by not releasing it. No film in theater and no money spent for anything. They took a tax write off. But the movie was already finished and a lot of people complained. So here we are in 2026 it finally got released. Was it worth it?
No.
The movie was terrible with a very D-list cast. Not that anyone was bad, but no one but the Road Runner, the Coyote, and Will Forte are well known. Not that the rest were bad just that I never heard of them at all. I hope though they get some work from this.
The movie just didn’t have enough comedy to make me laugh.
2 of 5 stars.
The End of Oak Street
The End of Oak Street was set in the eighties. I felt like a movie you would’ve watched in the eighties. You would’ve seen the trailer and wanted to watch dinosaurs roaming a neighborhood. You would’ve taken a matinee to see dinosaurs ravage a neighborhood. You would’ve loved it.
It had the feel of the eighties with a story you would not have known about before hand. You would be surprised and amused at the film Then you get to the see some dinosaurs sexing on a house. Or you get to see someone get chomped up (SPOILER ALERT!).
It was good fun. An enjoyable movie. You get you’re money’s worth.

The Odyssey had MAGA up in arms.
“A black is Helen of Troy?!!?!?” “A trans is Achilles?!?!?”
“Nolan is woke!”
How wrong they are. The Odyssey is rather conservative. Odysseus laments that he is ushering in the death of his culture. That’s conservatism in a nutshell — protection of the status quo.
And yet, The Odyssey isn’t MAGA. It recognizes that even their enemies are deserving of respect.
BTW, we saw it in IMAX. The visuals were huge, but the sound was just about deafening that my watch complained about loud sounds a few times. To watch Nolan do his IMAX thing was just about worth it.
