Second Act is an American movie starring Jennifer Lopez. Funny thing is though it’s crazy Filipino.
There’s the love angle. Then a fantastic job with benefits. Then they throw in a curve with a long lost daughter. Then the love angle goes away, but comes back at the end like a long, lost puppy dog. Then she becomes a success even though she was exposed as a fraud. Stuff that happens in a normal Filipino drama.

DC has some catching up to do with Marvel. They are trying to rectify their lagging behind. Aquaman is a start.
It’s a film done by the director of The Conjuring, James Wan. He’s gotten more money this time and he’s thrown a ton of things into the movie to see what sticks.
It’s a fine try. Maybe they’ll get better at it as they expand the DC Cinematic Universe. But until then, make mine Marvel.

When watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, I had that feeling like I had watching The Incredibles or Mad Max: Fury Road. Goose bumps on how much I was enjoying what I was watching. It’s good. I think it was the best movie I watched this year.
Marvel had a knock-out 2018: Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man and the Wasp — all really good films. With Into the Spider-Verse, they wrapped up 2018 with a bang.
The animation was something else. It’s what makes this film for me. It’s very different than what you normally see in the theatres. It reminds me a little of Scott Pilgrim: a comic book represented on the screen. It makes you appreciate the medium of animation; there are more possibilities than you can expect.
The story was good. I didn’t mind that it was an origin story. It was several! Spider-men in the multi-spidey-verse.
This film is so good it makes me want to read the source comics. Who is this Spider Gwen? The noir spider-man? Anime Penni Parker? Peter Porker? I have to read the comics. Anyone know the issues we should start on?
I’m gonna watch it again.

I wish you and your family, friends, the world a Merry Christmas. May this feeling last through the entire year.
Seven days left with Nanase in Nogizaka46…
Let’s start with the beginning. Maiyan ropes me into checking out this group called Nogizaka46. On the wiki pages, I peruse though the members. They are all pretty. I get to Nanase’s page and know that there are many members as pretty or more than Maiyan, in particular Nanase. To me, she’s always been more beautiful than Maiyan. And I find Maiyan the most beautiful of idols. Somehow, both are true.
Anyhow seven days, at the beginning we begin again.
Ralph Breaks the Internet should have the same alliteration as its predecessor. Shouldn’t the title flow nicely: Ralph wrecks the internet? Yeah? I know. I guess it has to match those memes of things that “break” the internet. That’s how it goes.
This movie was a quite different in mood than Wreck-It Ralph. It was sadder. They would have to explain how if she stays away from Sugar Rush, then why wouldn’t it be unplugged? Some holes in plots are left to your own imagination to fix.

The title should be a “Link of the Day,” but for Wakatsuki it’ll have to do.
Today’s link shows you how awesome a group Nogizaka46 is. Why? Because it describes the graduation of one of the members in nice detail. You’re almost there.
