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.

Finale: Strange New Worlds, Season 2

Helluva cliffhanger, almost as good as “Mr. Worf… fire.”

Now, since the Gorn are more prominent on this show than they were in The Original Series/TOS/Those Old Scientists, would it be too much to think that we’re gonna see the Metrons in place of the Organians in next season’s Season 3 premiere, where they put a stop to hostilities, but not before having Pike fight the Gorn Captain?

Because you sure as hell can’t tell me this takes place in the TOS/Prime timeline if Starfleet is about to go to war with the Gorn, years before the Cestus III incident.

Also, yay, it’s Scotty!

Looking forward to next season.

Anything Goes

So that was a thing.

Can’t say I loved it, but it was a lesser episode compared to the previous two week’s offerings.

Personally I think “Once More, With Feeling” and “Duet” were better musical episodes in their respective series.  And like those two episodes, “Subspace Rhapsody” was a character-centric piece.  Character story arcs were moved along, relationships developed and in one case, ending?

I do like that they are still trying to connect the dots with The Original Series and even the TOS films with the mentioning of a couple of characters who are quite important for the characters associated with them.

And the song that Spock/Ethan Peck sang?  Hell, that could have been me describing my past relationships.

I eagerly await the soundtrack.

Also, I nominate Christina Chong as title sequence singer for the next Bond film, based on her performance not in this episode, but from this music video that she has released.

And now I wanna see Bruce Horak leading a Klingon Boy Band.  K-Pop takes on a new meaning, eh?

Give it a shot.
