Star Wars: The Hoorahs of Skywalker

Really short spoiler free review:

During the film- “Woo hoo!!!!!”  *repeat*

After the film- “Heeeeey…wait a minute.  How… What…?”

During subsequent viewings of the film- “Woo hoo!!!!!”  *repeat*

In other words, it is a Star Wars film.

Slightly longer spoiler free review:

Godzilla Vs Kong Vs Schedules

Godzilla vs. Kong was supposed to come out in March, but it has been delayed until next November.  I know there's viable reasons for improving the film and/ or adjusting competition, but my nerd rage at losing an awesome birthday present was pretty significant.

However it was nothing compared to my daughter's which took a deeply theatrical bent:

“That Darn Catwoman” / “Scat! Darn Catwoman”

The Julie Newmar/ Adam West relationship reaches a peak in Anabelle’s favorite episodes.

FASTPASS DAY!!!!!

In Brightest Day and Beyond

The Comic Book Resources website did another voting poll.  This one is for the most popular characters in DC and Marvel.  I recorded my votes this time to let me post about the differences between the companies’ characters (again!) and how any given day of the week could easily change the order, and content of my votes.

And I’ll probably write that post someday.

The new sky gondolas are running. That’s awesome. They’re running for tests until the fall which means we can see the character covered flying horror chambers, but not have to ride in them… which is more awesome.

Anabelle sent out the following:

Outdoor Self Embarrassment Through Digital Age Music

In spite of Siri both previously confusing others on my behalf and making me look foolish, she has been extremely helpful in maintaining my sanity during the most hated of regular home outdoor maintenance jobs- leaf removal.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon Through a Kid’s Eyes

So much for any type of chronological order to these.

Oh well, at least she’s watching them.

In the Vicinity of Ookiness

I saved my review of the new, animated Addams Family film for Halloween…

So I can spend most of it pointing out why the Addams Family shouldn’t be Halloween based if they follow the TV series, which they should because it was awesome, and I'd much rather talk about it.

Yup, More Trek is needed after the Shatner Live post

How the phaser did I not know about these guys?

Hey cool! This is my 100th post referencing Star Trek!

It seems appropriate for it to document the first time I've ever been in the same room with a Starship Captain.

A Seriously Stupid and Smart Movie

Somehow, in some way, I went through about a hundred films that impacted my life, and missed one that fits in almost all of the categories I was talking about.

It’s from the Eighties with fantastic elements, I quote it regularly, I remember when I first saw it with my sister in the theater, I watched it frequently on multiple rentings and cable viewing, it has an appearance of an odd non-human thing (a Tasmanian Devil, sorta), and it has random musical numbers worked into the narrative.

It also gives me an uncontrollable urge to eat apples.

In honor of the 900th post of this blog. GODZILLA WON!
Sadly, the viewers lost. 

Anyway- on to the story.

Discovering What We Left Behind

I found Star Trek: Deep Space Nine about a month too late. 

Litany of Godzilla: Reiwa Cartoons

There is a reason these are late that has nothing to do with the fact that I didn’t notice they were on Netflix until a couple of weeks ago.

Well…almost nothing.

Bat-lets Season 1

On William Dozier’s opening narration about cheering the heroes and hissing the villains:

“Welcome to Batman… time to hiss!”

Anabelle and I went to see the new photo-realistic CGI Lion King.

And we are confused.

Can the Marvel Movie Machine survive the giant emotional overload of Infinity War and Endgame?

Yes…yes it can!

This was a fun, exciting and heartfelt standalone film, and an outstanding post script to the giant Avengers phase ending.

In honor of Tom Holland, there will be spoilers.

Debut Album Support

Hey, remember last fall when I reported on my Nth cousin Xce removed Bobby Conte Thornton's Rat Pack/ Broadway style one man show?  (Click here if you don't)

Well, he's trying to release a CD to have it recorded for posterity.

Since I want a copy, I'm using today's post to plug it and help make sure he meets his goal.  I know I'm behind on reviews, but this is an Italian family thing, they take priority.

Click here for the kickstarter link.   There's a sample of an Alan Menken penned song he performs there.

I can personally vouch for both the awesomeness of his performing and his grandmother's lasagna.


When I first saw the playlist, I was a little disappointed that "The Worst Thing I Could Do" didn't make the cut.

Then I thought about it, and realized you really gotta see that one live to get the full impact.

The rest of the set more than makes up for it, and if it does well, we'll probably get more live shows too.   Bonus!
