Spidey's Big Weekend!

 It looks like Spiderman is going to have a great weekend!  Its preview beat out an Avenger's movie for top preview showing.  I want to see it.  I may wait.  I think there will be a lot of people getting out of the heat to see this or the Odyssey.  I'm glad to see the box office looking good, but this is only two movies.  We need more movies being released.  I wouldn't count on Paramount WB to do that.  If they do merge, it will be a massacre on half the employees.  

Sony Spiderman Movie

 We lucked out.  We almost had a Sony Spiderman movie.  They wanted to have Spiderman up against their Sinister Six.  We are talking about the failure spiderverse movies Sony tried to make.  Luckily, it was shot down.  Are they really trying to bring down what they have with this incarnation of Spiderman?  Sometimes, it makes me wonder about producers.  All they can see is money, but not the best way to get there.  Anything they come up with is "gold"!  I love movies, but I am glad I do not work in a system like that.  Producers are the worst for going after the golden goose.  When they cut it open, they wonder where the gold is.  If they villains were attracting people, why did their movies fail?  Now they want a Spiderman movie to prompt them up.  What would that lead to?  A Suicide Squad movie with Spiderman villains?  Uh-oh, I might have just given a producer an idea for a movie.  

Ads are Confusing

 So, you might have seen ads being added or not.  I can't really tell.  I have been doing this for years and only have $9.  They won't even pay out till you hit $100.  At my rate, I will not hit that before I die. I would ask you as a reader, if you are paying attention, could you click on an ad? I want to see if I am even doing this stuff correctly.  If not, it's okay.  I like doing this.  

Drug Commercials

 I hate watching commercials.  Over half are drug commercials.  They are selling the hip new drug.  One that will probably have to be taken for the rest f the person’s life.  The commercials go out of their way to show how happy people are taking it.  Of course, then you get a whole paragraph of what could go wrong, even death. But, happy times!  At least for the executive s that get bonuses from sales!  That reminds me I have to read Brave New World!  

New Spider-Man

 This is the week the new Spider-Man comes out.  I want to see it, but it will have to wait.  Crunch time is hitting at work.  We have to finish by the first week of August.  I’m ready for the fall.  It has been warmer than usual with little ran this year. I’m just glad we have not has fires.  

Coming Doom?

 I woke up this morning and looked at the back yard.  Turkey buzzards were lining our fence posts.  Do they know something we do not know?   I went out to feed the animals.  None had died.  Unless they can smell the waste of the chickens.  I can't.  If it is grouped in a hot building, you would smell it.  My wife said they if they start flying into the windows and start attacking, we need to hide.  Maybe they smell my neighbor.  She seems to be on death's bed.  She likes to come out and shoot into the air to scare them off.  

Onslaught

 I read this weekend that the upcoming Onslaught is a spiritual sequel to The Guest.  The Guest was a great movie with Dan Stevens. He plays a soldier coming back from Iraq to visit the family of a fallen buddy.  He is not exactly who he says he is.  Now, we have Onslaught.  It’s about super killing soldiers let loose on a town.  An ex military person has to protect her daughter.  Dan Steven’s plays a different character in this movie.  

Hot Out There!

 Yesterday, I was looking out at our backyard.  On the fence I sight a hawk.  That is bad.  If they get hungry, they could grab a chicken.  I grabbed my BB Gun and went out.  He didn't like me coming out and flew off.  This is getting me concerned.  It was hot and humid.  Since I was out with my gun, I decided to double down on the heat.  I went into one of the buildings and started kicking things in the corners.  Sure enough, rats started to scurry.  I aimed and took shots.  I do think I hit one of them.  It's hard to tell.  Sometimes, it feels like shooting fish in a barrel.  Most of the time, they are too quick.  After I had exhausted my bb's, I went to check on the rabbits and another area where the mice and rats like to hide.  I saw nothing.  But, then I saw one of the rabbits laying on its side.  I opened the cage and it was stiff.  I guess the heat got to it.  Now, we are down to 3.  I bury the rabbit.  At this point, I had had enough.  I walk in and all of a sudden, my drenched shirt hit my back.  It was cold.  I quickly took it off to dry.  I am ready for the fall.  I hope we do not get super powered hurricanes this year.  

Sanitized Movies

 I can't say I watch many streamer made movies.  They just look too clean for me.  They use particular actors, the dialogue usually sucks and the backgrounds all look AI to me.  They are probably using AI to write scripts also.  Even if they can get a great director, they will not guarantee it will play on a movie screen.  I'm glad to see scrutiny for the WB/Paramount deal.  If Netflix does get a second chance, I hope they will keep their promise to play movies in theaters.  They really have to cut back on the AI.  I am not really looking forward to any upcoming movies.  I miss the older days of movies.  I do not miss the A list actor movie projects that they through lots of money at.  I really wish they would stop trying to turn games into movies or toys into movies.  In the end, it's just one big commercial.  

Mad Libs the Movie

 When I was a kid, I used to do Mad Libs.  It was a story word game, where you would put in crazy words to make a funny story.  With Matchbox getting a movie, do you think Hollywood will do a Mad Libs movie?  The could create a script and ask people to fill it with crazy words snd then fill it.  Or, maybe this could be a reality show.  

Matchbox the Movie

 So here is the movie no one asked for but Hollywood had to make.  Go see the trailer.  It looks like a streamer action movie around adults that used to play with Matchbox toys.  Believe me, it’s as bad as it sounds.  I’m guessing it might be an AI written movie.  Poor John Cena! He seems like a great person, but his agent needs to find better movies for him.  

Lowe’s Order Destroyed

 We ordered a new toilet from Lowe’s.  It came from a third party shipper.  When we got it, we discovered that that toilet was in pieces. My wife went back to return it.  They said that they hated third party shippers.  If you know it is a problem, then why continue to ship through them? Especially when the person opening their box could get cut by the shards.  

Hot Out There!

 We have a hear warning today.  It is also supposed to rain.  We need it.  Our house overlooks a lake.  It does not look that good.  It looks like algae might be growing.  It also seems that there are fewer boats this year.  I was driving the other day and noticed that man made lakes are running low.  It could be worse.  We aren’t getting hit with hurricanes!  

Can We Get a Break?

 First my daughter destroys our toilet, then our water heater starts leaking.  It turns out our water heater is 13 years old and they have a shelf life of a few years less.  With all that has happened, I hope it is over.  Someone said these things come in 3’s.  I will say the animals dying is the first of our run of bad luck.  

IMAX is Kicking Butt

 Have you seen an IMAX movie lately?  Looking at it's second quarter I'd say a bunch of people did.  I know I would like to see The Odyssey.  From what I have seen, it may go on for a while.  That is unless there is another IMAX movie coming up.  I don't think Spiderman is getting the IMAX treatment.  They really need more IMAX theaters.  At the end of the year, we have Dune 3 coming out.  That looks good, even thought the story it is based on was not that great.  Hopefully, there will be more to the movie than the book.  

home Appliance/Car Repair Insurance

 Beware of these.  We just got scammed with our home appliance insurance.  They informed us that the water heater is a year past being covered.  It is funny how they can pull up that information when it is time to pay for a repair.  When they are collecting monthly fees, it slips their mind to tell us.  Also, car repair warranties.  You are better off saving the money in an account.  Stay away from these fly by night companies.   I don't car which stars are promoting it.  They will always find a way not to pay for anything!  They probably make enough money to pay politicians to protect their scam businesses! 

Help Cut Spending?

 I'm watching the tv the other day.  I see a commercial from a politician.  He's hard working and knows the pains of normal people.  Washington is out of control with its spending.  Those evil liberals are the reason.  He's going to join trump to clean up the swamp and get spending under control.  Only problem is that it's the republicans and trump doing all the spending.  They are cutting things that help people to finance their own wealth.  They are starting wars that will not end.  They are putting the worst people in charge.  People that have no idea what their job entails.  The only qualification they have is that they are will to bow down and kiss trump's feet.  Believe me, if Congress stops one from being confirmed, he always has a worse person ready.  There is no bottom with trump.  This guy running must be rich and wants more money through corruption!  

Democrats are really Republicans?

 Democrats are going out of their way to turn off voters.  Just when some politicians are gaining steam.  Establishment politicians are trying to force in their people.  When are they ever going to learn?  They gave us trump when they forced Bernie out.  Then, they did it again when they forced Biden out.  Now we have someone more geriatric than him leading the country.  Now that some Democrats are coming out as trying to actually help Americans, they are trying to squash it.  They did it in Maine, they are trying to do it in Michigan.  They seem to agree with trump that they are communists.  Why?  My theory is Democrats and Republicans are the same.  They are bought by the same billionaires and companies  What this country needs is real change.  Neither side wants to deviate from their playbook.  

Grandpa on the Loose

 Senile Trump was at the World Cup game.  Guess he can never get enough of being booed.  At the end, he presented a medal to the top player and held out his hand.  The player ignored it and gave him the V with his fingers.  Then, as the players are posing for pictures and getting ready to lift up the cup, grandpa starts wandering in the picture.  Someone says something and he wanders off to the right of the players.  What an American embarrassment.  Probably realized it was nap time.  

Scene Out of a Movie

 Have you ever watched Platoon?  There is a scene where one of the men disappears.  They can't find him.  Then they do.  He was killed by the VC.  Well we had that, yesterday.  I am talking to my wife.  She is looking for our sickly goat.  She had move her closer to the house in a closed pen.  She was no where to be found.  She looked every where.  Later in the day, I got home and went out to search for here.  I could not find her either.  Then, our nurse pointed out an area where vultures had be congregating.  I went down there.  I found her or what was left.  The vultures had taken care of a good portion, especially those that would have smelled.  I picked her up and buried her.  It looks like she got out and maybe went to the back where she eats.  I do not know if she died or had fell and was dying.  I hope she died before they got to her.  

Movie of the Week!

 The Odyssey comes out this week.  It is the first Hollywood movie to be entirely filmed in IMAX.  If you go see it, do it in an IMAX theater.  This is the way it was meant to be seen.  I just wish there were more IMAX centered real theaters.  Not the small theater that uses what the dimensions of their building allows.  I mean a theater build to IMAX viewing specifications.  Huge screens with amazing sound and picture.  We get the watered down version.  I think this will be a must see.  That and maybe Spiderman.  If they keep coming out with new clips, I will change my mind on that one.  They don't have to show the whole movie to get people to go see Spiderman.  I think they have already started ruining the villain.  We'll see what happens.   

What Money!

 You probably think I write this because I am rolling in the dough.  You picture me lighting cigars with $100 dollar bills in my mansion with fancy cars parked out front.  That is wrong.  I have made no money.  I did entertain myself with adding ads.  I thought a payment every once in awhile would be great.  I have not even passed $10.  They won't pay anything until I hit over $100.  It has been stuck on the same number for many years.  Yet, I seem to get a lot of views.  Why do I write it? I like to speak my mind.  I can't do it at work and my wife does not always care to hear what I say.  I need an outlet.  If you start doing this thinking it is easy money, it is not.  If it were because of the money, I would have quit doing this a long time ago.  If Google is reading this, how do I get paid?  It does not work from where I am sitting.  I think they are getting more money off my rants.  I just get views.  

American Take Down!

 If you are driving in America and unknown vehicles try to box you in to stop you, be afraid.  It could be a gang land killing, a mob rub out or our government trying to intimidate you into doing something they can retaliate for.  If that department tried to box me in, I would want to flee.  I would be scared it was a car jacking or maybe a gang pick the wrong blue car.  What are Americans supposed to do?  I thought we had freedoms.  I think other countries have more freedom than the US.  We can't speak out on the president's crimes, his financial manipulations, his pedophilia, his reckless spending, and his fake wars without getting a knock on the door by the jackbooted FBI or ICE.  I feel like I should carry my papers at all time.  I don't even know which papers that would be.  Not that it would matter to trump's thugs.  They are above the law, just like trump!  Politicians? For get about it!  You either have polite whining from Democrats or republicans taking in as much cash as trump will let them!  To think they are scared of a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth who failed all the way to the top!  And he hates DEI?  Seems like people have gone out of their way to make sure an unqualified white guy made it to the highest office of the land.  

Mob Lawyer

 Looks like we are getting a mob lawyer as Attorney General.  Is this the first?  Who knows, but the idiot politicians will greenlight him.  After, Democrats will claim buyers remorse.  Republicans will claim he told them it was over or he wouldn't do it.  Justice as we know it will be on hold until this garbage is voted out of of office.  The only justice this moron will protect is that of Trump, his family and trump approved donors.  Anyone else is fair game.  We really need to kick the republicans out of office.  Their only concern is power.  They do not speak for the people.  They are not their to make our lives any better.  Their job is to make more money than they came in with, while the people suffer!  

Moana Failure?

 You have read that I am not a big fan of these live action remakes.  I know why they do it.  It's all in the money.  I cant explain why one works and the next one fails.  Could it be Dwayne Johnson turns off people?  Moana is big.  The parks dedicate areas to it.  Another issue I have are the stories about instant failure.  It seems like some rags want movies to fail.  Maybe they have an agenda.  The next couple of weeks will depend on word of mouth.  It will be drown out by news stories that are really lacking of any news.  I guess these are easy targets since they are scared to do real reporting on the criminal president.  That is where the stories are.  None of them have the guts to go after the real stories.  

Evil Dead Burn Vs. Moana Live Action

 If I were to go to the movies this week, I would want to see Evil Dead Burn.  However, my daughters would want to see Moana.  I really hate live action remakes of animated films.  They just tell the same story with very little changes.  Kids might like it.  Watch the animated movie.  As for Evil Dead, I like what they do with these films.  They pick good directors and encourage them to do an Evil Dead movie their way.  It's like an anthology of Dead movies.  This one looks like it will be extreme.  If you know Dead movies, than you know where it can go!  

A Break in the Day

 I'm sitting here working and I was chewing on a lollipop.  Nothing big.  When I started chewing, it was crunchy.  It should not be crunchy.  I used my tongue to search around.  Finally I found it.  A gap in my back tooth.  Luckily, it does not hurt, but that will come.  Now I need to get a new dentist.  I left my last one.  She kept trying to upsell me every visit.  Sometimes, I think she would see leakage in an old cavity and then just watch it until she could put on a crown.  On top of that, I have a bad habit of grinding my teeth.  Wear and tear.  I am falling apart.  

American Cheater

 The US lost it's World Cup game.  I guess trump should not have tried to rig the game.  As much as he cheats, you'd think he'd realize that sometimes it might backfire.  In this case, it looks like it fired up the players of the opposite team.  Then, at the end, they mocked our idiot and chief with his jerk off dance set to YMCA.  This is what I am hoping will happen at mid term elections.  I hope he fires up people who would not usually turn out for a mid term.  He keeps trying to make sure his cheat bill gets enacted.  He wants us all to pay a poll tax.  He's even weaponizing the FBI to intimidate voters.  We know that ICE will do it also.  It think their creation was just that point, trumps secret police.  Reading books about the Hoover years shows me how corruptible the FBI can be.
