This isn't for you. it's for me.
Kick-Ass 2: Directed by Jeff Wadlow. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Morris Chestnut, Claudia Lee. Following Kick-Ass’ heroics, other citizens are inspired to become masked crusaders. But Red Mist leads his own group of evil supervillains to get revenge, kill Kick-Ass and destroy everything he stands for. Not as ground breaking as the first one, but still just as entertaining. Doesn’t help that this turned into the Hit-Girl movie super dooper quick. Buy On Amazon!
Kick-Ass: Directed by Matthew Vaughn. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Garrett M. Brown, Evan Peters, Deborah Twiss. Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a superhero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so. Featuring several references to “myspace” and a movie named “The Spirit 3”, this is a completely out of time movies that has no real references to the real world, including computer stuff like “I rerouted your IP address”, which is a complete non-sense phrase when it comes to hacking a PC, but...
Somebody Somewhere: Created by Hannah Bos, Paul Thureen. With Bridget Everett, Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Danny McCarthy. Sam is a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggles to fit the hometown mould. Grappling with loss and acceptance, she discovers herself and a community of outsiders who don’t fit in but don’t give up. A completely great series that made me feel feelings, but maybe I didn’t want to feel those feelings right now. It’s a well done series, but i’m definitely not in the right headspace for this show right now. Buy On Amazon!
The Gateway: Directed by Michele Civetta. With Shea Whigham, Olivia Munn, Zach Avery, Bruce Dern. A social worker assigned to the care of the daughter of a single mother intervenes when the dad returns from prison and lures them into a life of crime. It’s a good enough movie, but boy howdy did I not need to see how grim dark the world could be if viewed through a washed up social worker. Buy On Amazon!
Deadpool 2: Directed by David Leitch. With Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison. Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable. Hilarious and what I needed tonight. Buy On Amazon!
Bumblebee: Directed by Travis Knight. With Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Cena, Jason Drucker. On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. On the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, Charlie Watson discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. Definitely the best of the 5 Transformers films, it’s difficult for me to even say what part of it works best. Is it the amazing cgi? is it the new transformation and robot designs? Is it Hailee Steinfeld? The nods back to the original...
Mr Pleco got busy in his new home Just a few of the 700 cats in or around my house The elder cat in my house, paradoxically named “Baby Cat” I went to my first softball game since 2019! I put sunscreen on everything except my right arm somehow and now I have a damn sunburn on my right arm. I moved a pleco into the tgiokdi twitter fish tank. He’s been doing a lot of good. The youngest cat in the house at the moment, but only just by a few minutes. He’s also the most handsome, and will...
The food itself was fantastic, the packaging was the best that I’ve seen on any of these venture funded pipedream meal planning services, but at the end of the day, it’d be twice the price of just buying the stuff ourselves from a local market. Also, those portions are exceptionally disappointing, you can see in that one picture how much meat they sent us. In theory that’s all the meat for two people for 4 meals but in reality it’s only about 2 meals worth of food.
DMZ: With Rosario Dawson, Hoon Lee, Freddy Miyares, Jordan Preston Carter. In a near-future civil-war-torn America, fearless medic Alma sets out on a harrowing quest to find her missing son – crossing into the demilitarized zone of Manhattan, where a ruthless battle for control rages between rival gang leaders. Rosario Dawson seems to be in Hollywood’s spotlight these last couple years, from playing a fan favorite in the Netflix Marvel television series, to playing a fan favorite in Disney’s The Mandalorian, to doing a long list of voice over work, she seems to be everywhere I look. For good reason...
The further adventures in time and space of the alien adventurer known as the Doctor and their companions from planet Earth. This is it, the final season that I’m going to check in on the Doctor. I actually love Jodie Whittaker in literally everything else that she’s done, so I find no fault in her as an actor, but instead I lay it 100% on the show runners and the remarkably uninteresting scripts they threw in her general direction. The special effects are great, the companions are suitably weird (but lovable) but there wasn’t a single episode in the last...
