Be afraid. Be very afraid.
This is what the Republicans plan on doing to the greatest country on Earth.
They are not conservatives. They are radicals. They are also a minority. No one but the oligarchs like what this is all about.
Vote them out. Not just vote, but vote against them.
Or we are doomed.
Well, considering the latest blunder by the Supreme Court, we’re back to the past. I thought we got rid of those fools or are we fools ourselves?
Have as happy a Fourth of July as you can…
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga did not do so well at the box office. It fell short of projections and contributed to the worst Memorial Day weekend box office in a long while. That’s the story you’ve been hearing about the movie, but you never hear about if it was good or not. I’m here to tell you that it was okay. I say that about all movies, so this is how that goes.
I guess if you follow up one of the most exciting movie going experiences in this century with an conceptual film about anger then you’ll definitely fall short. Most likely it wasn’t what we were expecting, but it was also somewhat mediocre in telling its story. Chris Hemsworth and Anna Taylor-Joy certainly gave decent performances. The action was pretty well down too. It was just not as fun this time around. A bit of fun, but not like the last time.

Feels like summer. Mmmm.
Let’s have fun this summer and enjoy this vibe.
Be excellent to each other. And PARTY ON!
It’s getting to be summer movie season, isn’t it? I haven’t been doing movies in quite a while. Nothing is pulling me back into the movie theater, but I am craving buttered movie popcorn. I’ve got to get my fix of buttery oil so I went to watch Ryan Gosling in Fall Guy.
I went in hoping not knowing a thing about it just that it is the film version of the television show from the 80s. It’s a bit tongue in cheek in its retelling. At least by the end, I got that feeling.
Ryan Gosling is the fall guy, a stuntman who experiences an on the job injury. He’s out of commission for a few months, but it scares him that he removes himself from life disappearing from his work and the life with his girlfriend, an ambitious camera operator looking to become an action director. A year passed and Gosling is called back in to do stunt work for his ex on her for directing duty. Sparks rise again.
It seemed as that was where the film was going to spend its time trying to get these two back together. The first half was, but then the film makers lost the script. The back half of the film was solving a murder and avoiding being accused and sent to jail. It was like they didn’t know how to end the film Out of know where everyone became the villain.
Did the popcorn still taste good? Yes. It was fine for such a movie.

Today’s link will most likely be dead by this summer, but I still got to post it.
It’s Yamashita Mizuki’s last blog entry. She’s finished her time as an idol. Her legacy. In the end, will be gone.
But, she had some glorious years.

I watched this video to figure out music. You see I am an old man who doesn’t follow what any of the kids listen to these days. I am no longer cool. So I feel like learning about the music from the last decade. All I learned was “hauntology.”
While I went to see Wicked Little Letters in the theater, I was just wanting to watch a movie. It was a movie to watch. That’s what I can say for it. I was the youngest person in the audience. I guess that was what happens when you pick a film that isn’t a superhero film or horror film, which seems to be only things coming out nowadays.
Hollywood is missing these type of smaller films. Something that has low stakes and a good story. Something that will make people come back to the theater to watch. I was just wanting to watch a movie and eat popcorn, so I ended up with this film.
It’s supposedly a true story from England at the turn of the last century. About some letters that riled up the countryside. Small stakes even though it was a national sensation at the time. I guess it satisfied that urge to just be in a darkened theater.
