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.
Science the Shit Out of This…
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!
New!

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!
Titles
I was looking at a job opening that has a title that I held maybe 5 years ago: Windows Systems Administrator II.
I barely have one fifth of the skills listed for that position.
Part of it is my own fault for not ‘keeping current’, but that’s hard to do when your current job requires less than what you are (or were) capable of doing.
I don’t think it’s time for any drastic action on my part regarding my job.
Mainly because I think I missed the boat on that.
Or the brass ring was never offered.
Ah well.
Thankful that I have a job. I guess.
