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.
4 of 5 stars.
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.

Have you thought about the best movies of the 21st century? We’re only 17 years in, but there have been many, many good ones. Run a search for “5 of 5 stars” on BrowserMetrics and you’ll find a few.
CatWoman? How’d that get in here. Never mind. Ignore my 5 star ratings and find some on your own.
Anyhow, they are still making lots of good movies, you have to go out a seek them. Today’s link should help you find a few.

I have not had the urge to watch movies lately even though summer movie season is in full swing. The last film I saw was two weeks ago, Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2. Yeah, I know. There’s been a few other summer films that have come out since then, but I haven’t seen them. I’m still waiting for one that will make me want to go to the theatre. It’s going to be a while.
That said. Volume 2 was alright. You can’t beat those A-holes. A little too inside comics for my liking — too many characters popping up that I have no idea who they were, and I read Marvel comics in my youth. O well, just went along for the ride.
