Obsessed with Obsession

Yesterday, I got to see Obsession. Wow! What a movie! I tell you, it can be a hard watch. It is sort of like watching Taxi Driver. The main character seems like a shy, insecure male trying to get the attention of a woman. When he uses a device to force that, it changes gears fast. It will make you uncomfortable. Maybe this is a movie against rape culture. Watch the movie and decide yourself! The performances were great. This was a low budget movie that beat out high budget summer movies. Curry Barker is a talent to watch out for. It was an impressive first film. I hear he has a second movie in the works. Not a sequel. He has been signed up to do a Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. I wish him well on that, but the first will always be the best for me. I just hope he centers on the psychological part of the horror and not the gore part. If you watch the first one, you don't really see the carnage. That is done off screen. Inde Navarrette is the star of this film. S...

Finally Going to See Spider-Man

I think the crowds have died down. I finally got my tickets from giving blood. I plan to finally see Spider-Man on the big screen. I have been looking forward to this all summer. I still want to see Onslaught. I have my kids with me, so I will go a little more family freindly. If you have not seen the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, you have to check them out. To me, he is the best we have had. I did like the other two actors, also. Each film has its own personality. Spider-Man Trilogy(second one) Buy Now

Food Recalls, Sticker Shock, and My Homemade Solution

Tired of all these recalls? Tired of all the chemicals they are putting into our prepared foods? Tired of prices going up every week? I have a solution: make it yourself. Yesterday, I made English Muffins. I found a recipe on the web. I doubled it. I started adding the ingredients to my bread maker. When I hit flour, I found out I had a problem. It asked for 12 cups of flour. My bread machine will not hold that much. I added 6 and prayed that it would not fail. When it was done with the dough cycle, I opened the top. It was liquid ooze. It was bubbling. When dealing with yeast, you want to see that. It means the yeast is working. I poured it into a bowl and added 6+ cups of flour. I needed enough where I could touch it and not fully stick to my fingers. I oiled it and covered it to rise. It did! I rolled out the dough and cut out the muffins and then let it rise again. In the end, I came up with more than 25! We tried them. It was good. I kept half in the fridge...

A Village of Entitlement

Everyday I hear people complain about how the youth acts entitled. It seems older people are truely entitled. I was at Costco looking at muffins. This guy walks right in front of me. He does not say excuse me. If you look at the website dedicated to The Villages, these people post really vile things. Heaven forbid you are not a fan of trumps. They will attack you. You'd think these people would be smart enough to identify a con artist, but maybe it's deminished capacity. All I know is that this area has some of the most entitled in the state, maybe even the world. They have karens that monitor grass heights and other HOA offenses. They complain about the outside of a neighbors house, even when they know that person is in the hospital or dead. What happened to giving a helping hand? Oh yeah, they believe that is communism. No wonder trump loves them. They attack whatever trump tells them to, even if the person is speaking the truth, like releasing the Epstein file...
