The Wild Robot

Again, I forget to write up a post that I had watched The Wild Robot in theaters sometime this month. Maybe it could’ve been in September? It’s quite late to write it up, and I don’t remember what I wanted to say.

It was okay. I guess.

“No desk, no dinner… Land of Opportunity my ass!”

Going back to my favorite topic, Nogizaka46. Here we got one of their videos on their YouTube channel — the one that shows members checking out their past costumes from their daily uniforms to their concert costumes and everything in between. It’s a nostalgia tour.

What did you find interesting? Do you want me to point out my favorites? Too bad, I’ll do so any way. Nanmin’s gold track suit. The 14th single uniform. Any uniform with a jacket. These are ones I like. In the future there will be many more.

“Eww. Has anyone ever actually eaten one of those dried-up, old leathery specimens?”

As we exit September (News Radio Quote Month!) and enter October, the month of spooks, let’s celebrate with Nogizaka46 back when they had Halloween Concerts… ENJOY!

From 2015 and right around the time I was beginning my Nogizaka46 fan journey. This is the 13th single senbatsu which in the end is my classic lineup. None of these members are here today, and I still love the group. Lately, there music hasn’t been my favorite, so watching this really reminds me that their music always was first with me (Popipapapa aside).

Oh, shoot. I know you come here for all your Nogizaka46 news, but I have let you down. Their in the 36th Single promotion cycle and I completely forgot to give you the music video for the title song. My bad…

Fall Guy

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.

Music Genres from Last Decade

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.”
