Thor: Love and Thunder Trailer
So Doctor Strange 2 comes out on May 6th. Will I have the MCU rewatch complete by then? It would be cool to finish the rewatch and then immediately go see the new movie. Obviously that won’t work out because I am having surgery on May 4th, and also the pandemic is still a thing and I ain’t going anywhere near a movie theater for a while yet.
So I guess the question isn’t will I be done with the rewatch by the time the next movie comes out, but will I be done before the next movie hits Disney+. This new Thor movie, Thor #4, comes out in July. What will the world look like at that point? Much like Thor himself, will I be transformed from Fat Rob to Thin Rob? No. No I will not.
Will I be Thin Rob by the time Thin Thor hits Disney+? No, probably not. Stop fat shaming the god of thunder, fat boy.
Which Movie is My Favorite?
As I tick another Marvel movie off of my rewatch list I am left with a question. But first, the updated list…

I said on one of these posts earlier that Captain America: Winter Soldier is my favorite Marvel movie, not counting the Infinity War/Endgame combo which destroys all other movies, but after tonight I don’t know if I can say that for sure.
My question for myself is, is Captain America: Civil War better than Winter Soldier? Apart from all of the previous Avengers (except Thor and The Hulk) we add Black Panther and Spider-Man into the mix. The airport fight scene, and the Cap/Bucky vs Iron Man fight at the end… It’s just a thrill a second ride from start to finish. Is Civil War better than Winter Soldier? I honestly don’t know.
Up next is Black Widow. I’ve only watched it once before but I was very happy with it. Will it hold up to a second watch? Let’s find out. The only beef I have with the flick is that it wasn’t made years earlier. I will never understand why they waited so long to give her a movie of her own. She deserves better.

Photographic proof that I spent my freshman year in high school playing trumpet instead of saxophone.
My Second Gig Ever
In my travels through my childhood bedroom closet I found a folder full of old band stuff. There were some flyers and some set lists and…
Some pictures from our second gig!
I think this was June of 1987 maybe? It was before I bought my Les Paul Deluxe. This was my first electric. A super cheap Hondo strat copy. I was playing through Larry’s Kustom amp. The tiny Peavy sitting on top is my first amp. I was singing through it that day.
The most important thing in these pictures, clearly, is Mike’s first Rick! Awesome!
Receipt
I found the receipt from the purchase of my Les Paul Custom on March 3, 1991.
It would likely fetch a tad more money today than it did then.
New Fire Station
Tewksbury has a new fire station. I’ve only been away for a few months and they snuck this in.
14 Down, 13 to Go
14 Marvel movies down, 13 to go! We have crossed the halfway point and we have closed out Phrase Two-ish!

I just finished Ant-Man. I started it this morning and finished it tonight. So ends Phase Two, or what passes for Phase Two when you’re going chronologically instead of in release order. Ant-Man is a classic, so Phase whatever-it-was ends with a bang.
Phase Three-ish opens with an even bigger bang. Captain America: Civil War is Thor and The Hulk away from being a full blown Avengers movie and it squashes most of the rest of the MCU flicks like the proverbial grape. It’s awesome. I’m not going to start it tonight though. There’s a new episode of That Pedal Show that I haven’t watched yet, and they are going to talk about wet/dry rigs using stereo speaker cabinets and that is going to sound mega.
In closing though, why weren’t The Hulk and Thor in Civil War? Simple. Whichever side had them was guaranteed to win. I mean, they could have split them up, but saving them for the buddy cop vibe in Ragnarok was a stroke of pop-culture genius.
