The New Empire

This is a fun movie.  Definitely a popcorn flick, and nothing like Godzilla Minus One.

The Kong scenes were great, and what little *koff koff* we saw of Godzilla was awesome.

There were more kaiju in this movie than the trailer would lead you to believe.

The bad guy was pretty cool, and TBH I would have loved to see a cut of this film without the humans and no dialogue, just interaction between all the monsters.

My boys were fighting together by the end of the film, and that made me very happy.

Highly recommended if you’re a fan of Godzilla, Kong, the Legendary Monsterverse, or even that Monarch series on Apple TV+

Go see it!

Day two

What, you thought I was gonna chronicle everyday that I’m living in an apartment?

The only major thing to report at this point is that a tech came by to try to install broadband internet but for some reason my phone lines(!) are screwed up and they couldn’t hook me up.

So now I’m currently running my phone as a wifi hotspot.  Which really isn’t good enough to watch TV, but good enough for web browsing.

So it looks like I’m going to get AT&T fiber (shudder) which I decided to get instead of Xfinity.

Because of scheduling I won’t get hooked up until Monday morning.  Ack.

In other news, I brought some of my sports games over and intend to resume play soon.

Also, the shower water pressure kinda sucks.

Change

Something that everyone is frightened of, to some degree.

I’m moving to an apartment.

This is the single biggest change for me, having spent my infancy/childhood/teen/young adult/adult/etc. years in the same house, for my entire life up to now.

It’s a bit scary, yes, but I think I have most of it under some control, at this point.

I have to downsize my stuff, which at first sounded like a lot (it is) but it’s more manageable once I started moving stuff to my offsite storage unit.

Over the course of the next few months or so I’m planning to offload most everything that I’m putting in storage.

Which means donating/trashing or gifting to people.

Which means I might be asking for people’s addresses and shipping off random boxes of stuff out.

Kinda like Loot Crate, I suppose.

I did this maybe 10-15 years ago, and I’m sure some of the stuff I sent off ended up in the trash anyways.

But hey, some of the stuff I need to get rid of may be of some use to someone.

I may start a new blog as a result of all of this, too.

I guess we’ll see.

New Year Eve 2023

The Story So Far:

  •  woke up and watched Spurs beat Bournemouth.
  • weekly Target run, groceries and a Spider-Mobile and a LEGO Space set.
  • finished watching Space Battleship Yamato (2010) with Chloe, I must not have been paying attention when I first watched it, a lot was different from what I recall.
  • watched the 49ers clinch the #1 seed in the NFC.
  • watched some reaction videos for various stuff.
  • watching a 3+ day 3D print job continue on it’s way.

As with last week, I’m trying to figure out what to do now, with tabletop sports and starting the solo RPG being the top contenders.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, ONE AND ALL!

Christmas Eve 2023

The Story So Far:

  • woke up and watched the Die Hard/Christmas episode of What If…? Season 2, and I liked it.
  • weekly trip to Target, grabbed some groceries, mostly.
  • against my better judgement, picked up McDonalds for breakfast.
  • watched some reaction videos to various things (What If…?, The Clone Wars, Dr. Strange 2).
  • watched some other stuff (Star Trek documentaries, Raiders of the Lost Ark).
  • set up 3D printers to print some stuff.
  • now trying to decide what to do next.

I’m leaning toward some tabletop gaming, either sports or maybe finally trying to start the Mythic Game Master Emulator test run.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL Y’ALL!

Watched Stuff

Barbie: good movie.

Reacher, Season 2, episodes 1-3: still a great show, love the cast additions.

Joy Ride: a lot better than I expected, with some surprises in the cast.

THEY FITE CRIME

I think I was around 5 years old when I first saw King Kong (1933 version) and then watched King Kong vs. Godzilla, and I was and still am a huge Kong fan.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m also a HUGE Godzilla fan, but Kong’s always been my boy.

So I guess this movie is something that I never knew I wanted since childhood.  A team-up with my two favorite movie monsters.

I can’t wait.

G Minus One

Best Godzilla film.

They did it, they made one of these that makes you care about the PEOPLE.

It was freaking fantastic, the story was very heart wrenching at times, and the Godzilla parts were actually scary.

I was thrown by [redacted] and didn’t expect to cry during this movie.

It’s only out for a week here in the US, so if you wanna see it, make plans soon.

Two thumbs up!

Go see it!

Loki Season 2

This is the only MCU Disney+ show that has a second season (so far) and deservedly so.

While I did feel that the first couple of episodes meandered a bit, the last two gave us a solid resolution to the story IMHO.

I know that won’t be how everyone who watched this sees it, though.

Overall, it was better than Secret Invasion, which isn’t saying much.
