I got this from Goodwill, it’s a four VHS set of Star Trek TNG episodes that feature Data. On the cover there’s a spinner with various scenes and trivia about Mr Android. Miles having a nap. he’s a very good napper. I got a new ornament for my aquarium Since I’m not drinking alcohol at the moment, I still have an inclination to buy and consume unique beverages and Aldi is helping me out with all these goofy ciders and other assorted fizzy drinks. I’ve only had the lemonade one so far and it was delicious if much smaller than...
I spent the better part of a month putting this stupid thing together and right when I was at the 90% mark, I accidentally flipped a piece behind the dryer that I was building it on. Why on the dryer? Because I have 5 cats and do not own a “puzzle box” that would let me have an incomplete puzzle just laying about my house. I pulled out the dryer, the cabinet between the dryer and the washer, the washer, disconnected everything and put everything back. I even used a damn Ryobi inspection camera to look inside the dryer and...
FROM THE CREATOR OF TV’S THE GOLDBERGS! Marvel’s Unsung Heroes finally get sung! After the mega-powered battles and Hulk-level catastrophes, Damage Control is always there to clean up the mess and get things back to normal. But Damage Control is much more than just a glorified cleanup crew, and this new series will pull back the curtain and reveal the secret inner workings that were previously only available to people with Clearance Level Eight. And we’ll witness it all through the eyes of Gus: a fresh-faced, eager newcomer to the company who has no idea how chaotic his life is...
Astra was done traveling, or so she thought. Benched for physical rehab and retraining, she’s in LA dating movie stars (not as fun as you might think) when the Department of Superhuman Affairs asks for help catching a superhuman serial killer. When what should be a simple job develops…complications, she finds herself catapulted into another reality—one with its own history and superheroes! As her teammates scramble to find out where she’s gone and what’s become of her, Astra embarks on a cross-world journey in search of a way home. It’s going to be a long trip.Team-Ups and Crossovers follows Astra...
The Other Guys: Directed by Adam McKay. With Will Ferrell, Derek Jeter, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes. Two mismatched New York City detectives seize an opportunity to step up like the city’s top cops, whom they idolize, only things don’t quite go as planned. It’s a comedy that hasn’t aged as well as I would have liked, but I think that sums up most of Will Ferrell’s work from the time period. Buy On Amazon!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition): Directed by Zack Snyder. With Amy Adams, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenberg. Batman is manipulated by Lex Luthor to fear Superman. Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge. This is the better of the two versions, but there are still so many things about this film that just do not work for me. Foremost among them is Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, which doesn’t work at all and the casting...
Man of Steel: Directed by Zack Snyder. With Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane. An alien child is evacuated from his dying world and sent to Earth to live among humans. His peace is threatened when other survivors of his home planet invade Earth. The after credit scene of “Black Adam” prompted me to watch this again, but this time in 4k. It wasn’t until the end credits that I noticed that the subwoofer was unplugged, so while it was a great viewing, it definitely lacked some depth. The soundtrack is still the greatest part of this film,...
Black Adam: Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. With Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Pierce Brosnan, Noah Centineo. Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods–and imprisoned just as quickly–Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world. I stand by my assertion that this is still one of the best DCU films that they’ve released in the current iteration of the franchise, but alas it was all for naught, as the entire thing is being rebooted later this year. Buy On Amazon!
Deadpool: Directed by Tim Miller. With Ryan Reynolds, Karan Soni, Ed Skrein, Michael Benyaer. A wisecracking mercenary gets experimented on and becomes immortal but ugly, and sets out to track down the man who ruined his looks. I finally own this on a physical disk and my Stan Lee collection grew by one! I think this is the only movie that Stan was ever in featuring nudity with him in the same shot as boobs. I like boobs! Buy On Amazon!
The Mandalorian: Created by Jon Favreau. With Pedro Pascal, Chris Bartlett, Katee Sackhoff, Carl Weathers. The travels of a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. The strongest season of one of the strongest science fiction series currently on tv. I loved nearly every moment of season three and really look forward to what season 4 brings. Of course, there’s going to be like two other series between now and then, so I’m looking forward to that too. Buy On Amazon!
