Creed III- The Full Transition

 

Well, the day after Christmas is "Boxing Day!"

A Mesozoic Daring, Highly Trained Special Mission Force

or

A Ruthless Terrorist Organization, Determined to Be Hos D'oeuvres 

This year's annual battle is introduced by the Marvel Legends' interpretation of the Radio City Rockettes' "New York at Christmas" Production Number.  

Around the Hess Tour bus are Enchantress, Scarlett Witch, Mantis, White Tiger, Dazzler (here for every Christmas, by law) Elektra, Polaris and Thundra.  

A big thank you to Anabelle for completely ignoring me when I said, 

"You'll never get that many Marvel Super Women figures to stand up."

Granted, they did go over like dominos after she went back to school, adding extensively to the holiday profanity party as I tried to fix them.

Anyway- on to the battle!

Mystery Star Trek Into Darkness Theater

Prey Post

Its obvious that movie releases have become far too convoluted in these post plague, heavy streaming based years, when a new Predator film comes out, and it takes me fifteen months to see the thing.

Mystery Star Trek 2009 Theater

Loki Gets His Throne

Throughout my life I have always been happy and proud to be a Doctor Who fan. However, for the first time, it was for practical reasons.

Mystery Star Trek Theater VI: The Last One Whew

Marveling At The Marvels

 

Well, that was fantastic. What the heck is wrong with people?

Mystery Star Trek Theater V: This One Doesn't Exist

Definitely Done Patrol

Sadly the Doom Patrol TV series has ended. However, it did so exceedingly well, and with a proper send off.

Mystery Star Trek Theater IV: WHALES!!!!

Re-Turn to Re-Animator Sequels

Mystery Star Trek Theater III: Spock Is Dead Let's Go Find His Body

Re-Turn to Re-Animator

See? The horror movie posts come before, after and often nowhere near Halloween. 

Mystery Star Trek Theater II: Khan. Uck!

It's Beastly!

I feel like somehow I have offended Primus at some point in my life.

Mystery Star Trek Theater I: The Movie

Third Time Is Also the Charm

Note- I don't plan for having a Halloween post every year, but my movie preferences make it nearly inevitable.

The Triumphant Return of Treklets

As true proof of the quality level of the original Star Trek- over five years after the first set of posts we have returned to family viewing and  Anabelle’s comments on this franchise.

Our Adventures with Superman

It took a while for me to see the new My Adventures with Superman series on Max.  (Kudos to good old "Skinimax" for taking the streaming name from its parent company HBO after all these years.)

 

This delay was mostly because of my irrational bias against anime. That coupled with a deep knowledge and understanding of my own personal issues with incorrect execution of this character, meant I initially chose to stay away from this version.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Through a Kid's Eyes

1954

 

Ahsoka Season 1- Or is it Rebels Season 5?

As Anabelle and I wildly texted each other "WOO HOO!!" and various other exclamations while watching each episode of the latest Star Wars television series, I couldn't help wonder if those who hadn't watched any of the two animated series that introduced most of these characters could follow what was happening.

Conan The Barbarian Through a Kid's Eyes

1982

Dad Lore- Number 3

These are all "weird flex" tales- moments of pride or an oddly presented compliment that were in anomalous situations, or unlikely manners.

All three happened after I had moved into my condo and was still young, but established at work.

The title comes from Anabelle referring to anything from my past she hasn't heard about as "Dad Lore."

It Came From Beneath the Sea Through a Kid's Eyes

1955

SHAZAM Fury of the Gods Was... Ok?

 

I finally got around to watching SHAZAM And Back Again.

(Apologies, Anabelle has threatened me with grievous bodily harm if I do any more "boogaloo" jokes.)

Three Worlds of Gulliver Through a Kid's Eyes

1961

Good Omens Two Good Too!

 

The first season of Good Omens told a complete story based on a single novel. It was excellent and self contained.

Clash of the Titans through a Kid's Eyes

1981

DC Plays to its Strengths in Blue Beetle

DC films have been all over the place. They've screwed up a considerable number of them, and even the ones they've done well have their own errors, used characters that let them dip partially into where DC shines without full embracing it, or have leaned on the ones they've screwed up to continue trends.

Until Now!

Clash of the Titans through an Actual Kid's Eyes

1981

A Little Hop of Showers

That title would have worked better if it rained. Then again, the day wouldn't have.

It certainly has been the summer of funny stage tragedies for us. This one was planned further in advance ,however. Earlier in the summer, Anabelle and Rosa had a "Manhattan Day" to go see a Yayoi Kusama exhibit.

7th Voyage of Sinbad through a Kid's Eyes

1958

The First Geralt's Last Ride

 

I have my daughter to thank for some new toys. 

Explanation: I have never liked super deformed or caricature figures, funkos included. However, there was something about the Witcher ones that captured the spirit of the show. I kept seeing them on sale but never all 4 of the main characters at once. Without knowing any of this, for Father’s Day, Anabelle (having heard his songs in the car and me talking about how funny he was) got me the Jaskier one as a joke along with a note saying she’d watch the series I’ve been telling her she’d like with me. Therefore I “NEEDED” to order the other three. She helped me pick the coolest looking ones. 

Thanx kiddo , they look great and I enjoyed seeing the series with you.

Translation- Not only have I watched The Witcher season three, but I watched the whole show again from the beginning with Anabelle.

Jason and the Argonauts through a Kid's Eyes

1963

A Very Public Secret Invation

Secret Invasion was only six episodes long, and yet it has provided me with huge amounts of confusion, none of which was related to the story itself.

Jason and the Argonauts through an Actual Kid's Eyes

1963

Teacher Tributes: Instrumental Music

There are few things in life that give a feeling of greater accomplishment as part of a group as being in a band when everything is clicking.

There are also few things that provide as good an example of how important teachers are to students enjoying what they're doing and learning as my time playing the saxophone.

Sinbad And The Eye of the Tiger Through a Kid's Eyes

1977

Thanx to Funny Steve for recommending this one to Anabelle and keeping the viewing going!

It's Only a Model... Shhhhhhh.

I think I've set a record for going from: 

"Not knowing a thing exists,"

to

"Mourning the fact that others won't be able to experience the outstanding talent, thought provoking content and emotion now that a thing is over."

Golden Voyage of Sinbad Through a Kid's Eyes

1973

Dialing to Destiny Once More

Lets begin where we left off shall we?

(Oh and there will be spoilers, because I'm tired and can't control myself.)

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was definitely the worst of the Indiana Jones films...

But it was still an Indiana Jones film.

Harryhausen Through a Kid's Eyes Intro / Index

There were several "weeks" of the channel 9 4:30 movie that I would eagerly await.

Clone Wars Episode Guide- Bad Batch Season Two

This is getting out of hand.

I didn't expect a bonus season and two spin offs when I started this.

I was cheating to use the lists I'd written to help teen aged Anabelle pick which Clone Wars episodes she'd watch. 

She watched all of Rebels anyway, and doesn't watch this new show.

Oh well, only one more season to go after this one, can't stop now...

Bad Batch Season 2- Jan 4, 2023 to March 29, 2023
