Brain: Do it.
Heart: No, Chris, it’s too painful!
Brain: He must. It will help him.
Heart: You’re right, dammit.
I went to youtube.com and played the ending to Field of Dreams.
It hurt. I ugly cried for a good while. 3 minutes? 5? Lost track of time.
I love you, Dad. I miss you.
I’m probably not going to watch this movie again for a while.
Last night I get an random alert on my iPad from the Amazon app that ‘an item you may be interested in is on sale’.
Sure enough, Cowboy Bebop 4-disc blu-ray set is on sale for $29.99.
I have never watched it, so I put it in my cart. And then I got distracted and went to sleep.
This morning I saw that it was still in my cart at Amazon, with delivery on Friday.
I then checked Best Buy to see if they had it in stock at the same price, which they did, and I could pick it up today.
I added it to my cart, and checked to see if I had any reward certificates. I had three.
$20, $10, and $5.
Since the item was $29.99, I knew it wouldn’t let me use the $20 and the $10 together, so I’m picking this set up after work for a little over $5 and change.
It also appears that I bought the last one at this Best Buy location.
Go me.
To me, it was epic and it lived up to the hype.
My only complaint was a distinct lack of a helicarrier in this one.
I can’t believe I ate a large popcorn by myself.
Thanos is still my favorite over Darkseid.
I was way off on my ‘death guesses’.
We got a poster and a coin as we were leaving, too.
Peter Dinklage is awesome.
“I am Steve Rogers.”
Today is the 80th anniversary of the release of Action Comics #1, which of course is the first ever appearance of Superman.
There are accolades galore around the web, saying more about him than I could, but I will say this:
Thank you, Superman, and all his creators, artists, writers, actors over the years, who have inspired me to be the best person that I can be, then, now, and always. I have always looked, up in the sky.
20 movies in 10 years.
That’s how many Marvel Studios movies there will be at the end of 2018.
In that same amount of time, Star Wars had 3 films, Superman had 4 films, Star Trek had 5, James Bond had 7, and Harry Potter had 8.
The biggest difference between those franchises and Marvel’s movies? I’ve enjoyed every single Marvel film, though some were better/worse than the others. I can’t say that I had the same enjoyment for the other movies in other series.
The Funkos I did manage to find…
Han and Chewie
Hey, how they get in here?
