Was a pretty fun happy hour this past Thursday. Good to see some old buddies. “We need to hang out more,” is what we say. Do we hang out more? Not really. But we should try. We should try.
If you stay at a job past five years, then you are never leaving. It’s well known. I’ve been at my job for 19 years. I am never leaving. Because I am dumb.
Strive to continue being good. But keep going. Going. Going.
Need another happy hour with those buds.
Second Nogizaka46 documentary is gonna be released next month. I will cry without ever seeing this because Nogizaka-chans always do.
Shit. I haven’t posted any movie posts. Here’s one to catch up on most everything I’ve seen up til today.
All were decent enough. Not very disappointing. Just not the greatest. I should’ve written a post for each, but my laziness has kicked in.
Was this really released in 1983? Sheez. I’ve got the skateboard blues!
There’s a lot of classic lines from here… “You guys got a dime?” “The Swedes down in Venice Beach. Now shove off!”
Gosh. I’m really young at the time of this videos release. Skateboarding has come a long way from this.
I don’t play video games much anymore. Here’s a new hand held from Panic a Mac developer.
Ehh!!?!!?!!?
Yes a Mac developer.
It looks interesting. Sign me up.
Nogizaka46’s 23rd Single, “Sing Out!” music video ban has been lifted. Not their best of songs, but certainly brings a smile to my face as all things Nogi does. It will be released at the end of this month. Looking forward to it.
Bring Peas!
It’s a dawning of the new era in Japan. Reiwa.
Shit, I’m such a weeb.

The Curse of La Llorona is another film in The Conjuring universe. FIrst, it was the witch. Then it was the doll followed by the nun. Finally, it’s latin folklore. It’s the weeping woman coming for your children.
It could’ve been better. It had too many jump scares. But I still hid from it. But a week later, I’m not scared. Not scared one bit…
Who’s that crying downstairs?

While watching Little, I definitely felt out of place watching this film.
I skipped out of work early a couple weeks ago. There was flooding in our office space, and we had the choice of continue to work amongst the fans, find another desk to work at, or to work from home. I chose neither except for the go home option. I went home and then to the movies to watch something. Little was at the most optimum time. I went in.
Surprisingly, it was somewhat a decent crowd for a mid-week afternoon show.
I think the film was more for youngsters. Like the time I watched Freaky Friday starring LL. I was out of place. My approach to the film is colored by this fact. I wasn’t the target audience. And even if I was, I still don’t think it was a good film.

Us is a whole lot of things. It’s a slasher flick, a home invasion, a critique of society, a film that makes you think. I had this review in draft for weeks, and I still think about that ending. All the way through, we root for one person, and in the end it’s not who we thought to root for.
When the lights came up, I was dumbfounded. Not sure if it was better than his first movie, Get Out. But the more it made me think, the more I think it’s better. We’re gonna be dissecting this one for a few years unraveling what it all means. That’s a good movie to me.
4 of 5 stars.
