The Hitman’s Bodyguard is a movie you watch when there are no other movies to watch. Even then, you flip the channel to Chiller or TruTV, but you find yourself going back to The Hitman’s Bodyguard because that is your life at the moment.
Don’t waste your time. I already have. You were warned.

Let’s start of 2017’s NewsRadio Quote Month with a rocker.
BabyMetal death!
If there must only be one Nakamoto sister, I prefer Himetan and her lovely beam (ひめたんベーム!). But that won’t be possible come her graduation. So we’ll have to have the imouto, SUMetal. I believe she’s got a voice and poise better than Techi from Keyaki-chans. She would give her a run for the money.
So. The fox god will guide us well this month.
The following should’ve been a Link of the Day at the end of July. It’s what I was going to post while drinking one of those lagers, but iPad Pro kind of sucks at blogger’s web interface. Plus I was also drunk at the time…
Link of the Day [7.28.17]
“This Tampa-style Lager is inspired by the traditional German-style Helles, which translates to “light colored.” Perfect for the Florida heat, it’s a beer that’s made for drinkin’ when it’s truly hotter than helles outside.”
Spider-Man: Homecoming is no Spider-Man 2, but at least it isn’t as unlikeable as The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
I almost said this one was as good as 2. Almost. It at least made you care for and like Peter Parker. Of course, if you watched close enough it followed 2 very closely in emotional beats. It was very much the same film. And that’s why I knocked it down a bit.
I liked Peter Parker, but he’s such a kid.

I didn’t think this was Edgar Wright’s masterpiece. You can’t beat his Coronetto Trilogy. Baby Driver tries, but sure can’t. It did have a funny moment with Mike Myers, but that would be funny.
Anyhow, I saw this a while ago. I don’t remember much. But I’m sure I would watch this on FXX when they show it and I’ll enjoy it then, too.

I wash watching Nogizaka’s 3rd Gen closing out Tokyo Idol Festival 2017 on YouTube when word came out that our beloved Himetan, Nakamoto Himeka, announced her graduation. Fudge. It ruined the show.
Himetan! Nooo! I hope it wasn’t because of health reasons. And I hope it wasn’t because she didn’t make senbatsu for the 18th single. But why? I am sad. Now we don’t have 46…
Fucking finally.
I blame Google for keeping it alive. But I’m sure some dude is going to keep it going. Fuck those guys. And fuck Google for keeping it alive. THppppttt on Android for pretending to.
Adobe, let me know where you bury it so that I can merrily dance on the grave!
Again, I blame Google.

I’m gonna post this, but it will be gone in a few weeks because of the copyright police. For now, though enjoy!
Hadashde summer isn’t my favorite of the three singles from last year, but everytime I listen to it from the live I love it and join in with the rest of the fans on the call…
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
Also, 3rd Gen! And an Ayatii blunder!!
So good.
Let’s go to Japan in November to help close out their tour!
AKB48 opened there ticket booth to international fans. It’s not like I’m buying anytime soon, but it’s nice to know that you can at least try to get tickets. The mother ship, AKB Theatre, is probably a tough buy. I would try for one of the sister groups out in the sticks, perhaps NGT48’s or HKT48’s theaters in Niigita or Fukuoka respectively.
Maybe I’ll try on my trip to Japan…
It’s been a few weeks since I saw Wonder Woman. I can’t believe I have not wanted to write this review. I need to get on with being the blogger that I know that I am.
Here: good. For a DC movie. That’s a low bar. Even Ant Man could step over that one.
I’m a Marvel guy. (Make mine Marvel!) DC comics was never one to catch hold of. There movies in particular are just grim. Sarting with the hyper-real, The Dark Knight, they took a tone that borders too much on realism. It’s just men in tights. To imagine the super heroes as something more is too ridiculous. DC’s somber tones just put me off. When I give these movies 3 star, they are barely are.
Wonder Woman is less somber a DC movie. There’s some joy there especially in the playful romance between Chris Pines’ Trevor Barnes and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. There’s also some grimness as Wonder Woman confronts the world for the first time and sees the horror man has made of things. Overall, there’s sun in this film and darkness. But at least they got rid of the grim tone.
I liked it, but this isn’t a Marvel movie. You should watch it and decide for yourself.
