I Don’t Get It

When the reimaged Hawaii Five-O premiered, I watched it for a couple seasons.  I got bored of it and stopped.

I’ve stopped watching the DC shows on CW, because I got bored of them.

I’ve drastically cut down on the number of comics I read on a monthly basis.

I don’t watch Star Trek Discovery.

I’m didn’t watch a full NFL football game once this season.

In all cases, they went on without me.

I see lots of people bemoaning Disney and their upcoming Star Wars projects, or people upset with Doctor Who because of the way the show is now.

So why can’t they simply walk away?

The whole ‘childhood ruined’ excuse is stupid for a myriad of reasons.

Hell, any excuse is stupid.  Walk away.

Being a consumer doesn’t mean that you HAVE to consume everything.

And shouting at the wind won’t make any of these corporations change their minds.

Day 365

Last Day of the Year, and I’m staying home.

I thought about going out to see a movie, but I couldn’t decide on one.

I’m pretty much vegging out in front of the TV.

So if you don’t hear from me around midnight, Happy New Year to you all!

Aquarium Scene

It was the aquarium scene in Aquaman.

There was something about seeing a little brown kid discovering his super powers while being bullied that simply made me smile and tear up.

Because I’ve been that bullied little brown kid.  But without the super powers.

I didn’t expect that.

As for the rest of the movie, I enjoyed it.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining.  There were a lot of predictable moments that I could see coming a mile away.

The movie looks pretty, certainly, but some of these shots lingered longer than they should have.  Some of the action shots looked bad.  Period.

And Black Manta was a frakking joke.  He reminded me of Gigan in Godzilla Final Wars.

Is it a must see?  If you’re a fan of Aquaman or Jason Momoa, by all means, see it.

I would rank it second among the DC movies, behind Wonder Woman, and slightly edging out Justice League.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

That was a whole lotta fun.

I have to admit that I’ve not read a lot of Miles Morales as Spider-Man stuff.  I just haven’t made the time to do so.

But this was a really good movie, as good as any super-hero film that’s been released in recent memory.

I was floored by the post-credits scene, and loved the mid-credits scene.

In ranking the Spider-Man films, I would place it 3rd, after Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man 2.

Recommended!  Go see it!

Shaving

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that using an electric razor is no faster than using a non-electric razor.

That said, the only thing I bought on Black Friday was a new electric razor to replace the one that appears to have died last week.

Ralph Breaks the Internet

I liked it a lot.

Admittedly I felt too tired to go see a movie this morning, and by the time I finally got myself out of the house and to the theatre, it was only 5 minutes until showtime.

I never get to the movies that late.

Anyways, I skipped the concessions because the line was long and I was already late, though there was the traditional 15 or so minutes of trailers.

I gotta say my favorite part involved the Disney Princesses, oddly enough.

And the credits scenes, mid and post.  Stick around for both.

A few of the voices surprised me, and one cameo… you’ll just have to see it.

Recommended.  Go see it!
