I did suggest to the daughter earlier this morning that we could maybe do a family movie night tonight. Not sure if I'll regret that. If she even remembers.
Huzzah! I've got an order of back issue comics coming tomorrow. They were originally estimating delivery on Monday, so I'm happy to see it arrive a bit early. Been awhile since I ordered off the website.
I saw that Obsession is hitting Peacock for streaming on the 17th of July. I'm guessing that means it might no longer be on Amazon when that happens, which means I should probably rent it sooner rather than later.
Hmmm....heard the rumor the new Lanterns series has a split timeline, and that Hal Jordan actually dies in the first episode. That sounds horrid, but it's what I've come to expect from the GCU.
Ouch! The disaster that is Supergirl continues to amuse. It's box office gross yesterday was less than $1 million. Pathetic.
It's quite humorous when you see people saying "How can you criticize a movie you haven't seen yet?" Do they understand how trailers and marketing work?
I expect we'll be hearing from the boy's expedition soon. Typically, there are very few places with reception when you're out and about in Philmont. Since they're set to be back by sometime Sunday evening, and it's a roughly 13 hour drive, I expect them to be back at Base Camp sometime soonish. If it's this evening or early tomorrow, that would give them a bit of time to rest and relax before the long drive back.
If nothing else, I hope he at least had lots of fun.
Cool! Michael Biehn and Arnold Schwarzenegger are making a movie together for the first time since Terminator.
What's wrong with this headline?
Taylor Swift Fans Can No Longer Watch Her Best Movie
Hmmmm....apparently a Neuromancer TV series is being developed, based on Gibson's book. Sadly, it's on Apple TV, so I won't be watching it. Not only do I not feel like paying for yet another streaming service, I don't feel like paying for one that'll probably "reimagine" the story for a "modern audience". Or, even worse, suck up to the company's communist overlords.
Yeah, sorry Disney, only a lunatic would think The View deserves a "news" exemption from the FCC.
Jesse Eisenberg - one of those rare Hollywood types who appears to actually have common sense. His comments in a recent interview were...refreshing.
Ouch! Looks like the budget for Disney's latest live-action attempted cash grab, Moana, is somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 million. So even without the marketing factored in, the movie probably has to clear $500 million just to break even. And from the reports and reviews I've seen, it might not do even that.
The question is, how will Disney react when the film (probably) loses money? Will they course correct, maybe fire some people? Or will they just follow the modern-Hollywood standard and blame the "bigots and haters"?
And for the first time in forever, I brought some work clothes to the cleaners. Huzzah!!!
Sadly, HEB did not have the hot chicken wings I like. I prefer either the "Seasoned" or "Buffalo" wings. All they had was "BBQ", which I find not to my taste and very messy.
Still, I was able to get a pack of three slider sammiches for the wife, so the visit was not an abject failure.
And the Lord said, "Let there be AC." And, lo! There was AC! And the cool air was good.
Speaking of adult pretenders.....
My guess is that Hollywood casts her more for the number of social media followers she has than for her skill as an adult pretender.
Not that I really have anything against Zendaya. She seems like a nice kid who doesn’t go around calling fans bigots. And she and Tom Holland make a good couple.
I just don’t think her acting range is all that broad, and that she’s being cast in too much stuff.
Personally, I think just the rumor of a remake of The Fugutive with Zendaya in the lead role is further proof that Hollywood collectively hates humanity for some imagine slight.
Oh, those precious little poseurs. So adorable.
Speaking of the AC - looks like it was just a damper stuck closed. The technician got it open, and it seems to be working now. However, it was making some funny noises, so it might be that it needs replacement.
Small world. The AC technician is also a customer at my comic book store. He was there last Saturday at the same time as me. He even got in on my conversation with the store personnel.
Barney Miller is an American sitcom television series set in a New York City Police Department police station on East 6th Street in Greenwich Village (Lower Manhattan). The series was broadcast on ABC from January 23, 1975, to May 20, 1982. It was created by Danny Arnold and Theodore J. Flicker. Former character actor Noam Pitlik directed 102 of the 170 episodes. It spawned a spin-off series, Fish, that ran from February 5, 1977, to May 18, 1978, focusing on the character Philip K. Fish.
Not much on the docket for today. I've got to call up the AC guys and hope they can get out here today. And I need to bring some stuff to the cleaners.
