The to do list for tonight, with Bellana about 1000 miles away and all of us missing her:
It’s snowing today. We were expecting 4-8 inches and so far we have barely a dusting.
With the exception of Bellana being 1000 miles away, this is a pretty awesome plan.
Good news, I saw a dog today.
Smiling is my favorite.
A new episode of Hawkeye came out yesterday. We haven’t watched it because Harry is coming home tonight and we want to watch it with him. Yesterday morning I started seeing a lot of social media accounts tied to cast members from the now cancelled Marvel Netflix shows posting pictures of Charlie Cox. Uh oh. Is that a spoiler? Did Marvel announce something? Did he show up in Hawkeye? Even worse, does he show up in the new Spider-Man?
Spider-Man No Way Home is out in theaters now. Harry is going to put on a radiation haz-mat suit and see it in a theater next week. I am not. I will be waiting for it to come to Disney+.
I am now in full Spoiler Avoidance mode for both things. At least Hawkeye we can get out of the way quickly. No Way Home though… I don’t want to know anything, not even a tiny thing. Nothing. lalalalaICantHearYou.
I don’t think they have announced when No Way Home will start streaming. The only thing Google found was sometime in 2022. It’s going to be a long wait, folks. A long wait.
My beautiful wife Jen said she was kinda in the mood for a movie tonight. A Marvel movie. Sure, I said. Pick one. There are about 100 to chose from.
She picked Captain America: Civil War.
Now if you were curious as to why I’m so out of my mind in love with her, take this as one of the billion reasons.
Ms Patches agrees.
We watched Event Horizon tonight. It’s 24 years old but I’ll try to stay spoiler free here.
I have one question. Did Clive Barker get a cut of the gross? I ask because… well… trying to stay spoiler free… Cenobites, right?
I mean… that’s all it was, right? Cenobites in space? Oh wait… they did make a Hellraiser in Space, didn’t they? I think that was the one that made me give up on the Hellraiser franchise. I think.
There’s a new trailer for the new Spider-Man movie!
HYPE!!!
I thought to myself, tomorrow’s Halloween, let’s watch a classic scary movie. I watched Night of the Living Dead recently. What was Romero’s second movie? Dawn of the Dead. Yeah, let’s watch that. Not the Zack Snyder remake, the original.
Turns out none of the streaming services I belong to carry it. Figures.
All is not lost though. I found a shit quality copy on YouTube. That’ll have to do.
Happy Halloween, folks.
Okay, I’ll stop this gimmick now. For a while at least.
I just watched Venom. I don’t know why. It was okay. Probably better that a 30% on rottentomatoes.com. Not by much though. Decent but forgettable.
I just checked the MLB scores. The Red Sox won and the Mariners are losing. If that holds then we have the last AL wild card spot. please let it hold.
Okay, bed time. Here’s hoping I get some guitar in tomorrow.
Brah, that’s a sick burn, brah. You need some ointment for that sick burn, brah?
Minor cooking injury. As the good Doctor Channard once said, “I recommend…. Amputation.”*
*Hellraiser II. Nowhere near as good as the first movie, but the one liners are among the best in movie history.
Triumph was the first band I ever saw in concert. I think it was early 1986 (maybe late 1985) at the Worcester Centrum. My Uncle Johnny took me. It would have been better had it been the other three piece band from Toronto, but this was pretty awesome anyway. It was only a couple of years after that show that they were gone. I thought I would be able to keep following the guitarist’s solo career but… well… it wasn’t very good, at least not at first, and he lost me. The other two guys came back after a while with a new guitar player and again… not that good. Better, but still not good enough for me. Also, the 80’s had become the 90’s by then and my tastes had changed. So maybe not bad, more like too late. Whatever.
When I listen back to them now some of it stands up. Some of it… not so much. They were a killer 70’s band that sat at the point where the 70’s morphed into the 80’s and at first they handled it, but the glossier and cheesier (and hairier) it got the less it worked. Even if it isn’t as good now as it was then, “Fight the Good Fight” is still one of the best rock songs ever written.
This documentary is made by the same team that made Rush Beyond the Lighted Stage which was fan-friggin’-tastic. My only complaint about that doc, and based on this trailer I’ll have the same complaint about this one, is the effin’ clown from the band Skid Row. I really don’t give the faintest shit about what that guy thinks about anything. Other than that… bring it on.
It’s debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival soon. This week, I think. The first showing is going to be in a drive in because of Covid and I don’t know about the rest of you, but that sounds absolutely awesome to me.
