Been a while. Finally getting back to my backlog as I'm running out of other stuff to watch. Phantom OVA Phantom Requiem for the Phantom 1 - 7

Finished Picard season 1. It was okay. Production-wise, I thought it was great. Especially loved seeing the characters from past shows once more, and the acting was top-notch, but I was disappointed that kinda the crux of the story the season was built upon seemed pretty nonsensical and just overly contrived when it was finally revealed at the end.

Picard episode 1 Only just started this, but I am very much liking what I am seeing so far.

Nobody 9/10 (That was pretty killer. Heh. love how they steadily ratcheted up the intensity of this, and slowly went from an absolute zero, total run of mill Joe to total John Wick level badass.

Godzilla vs. Kong 8/10 (Lots of s'plosins and things falling apart. Check. Not too terribly ridiculous of a plot given the sheer scale of the subject matter. Check. Mega monster battles and butt kicking team ups. Check, check, check.) Mortal Kombat 9/10 (Wow. Significant upgrade over the original. Chalk this up as one of my favorite action movies of recent years.) Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day 8/10 Braven 6/10 Sponge Bob movie Sponge on the Run 9/10 A Quiet Place part II 8/10 (That was pretty good I guess. Felt like it was missing a little something extra somehow. Suppose I was hoping it would expand a bit more on the first movie than it did.) Little Shop of Horrors (1986 version) 10/10 (That was pure awesome. 😃 Great ending, and that dentist song is gonna be stuck in my head for weeks.)

Binge watched Star Trek Discovery season 3. I gotta say, as much as I hated the ending to season 2, I loved pretty much the entirety of season 3. Looking forward to see where they're going with season 4. Just hope the time travel stuff is really over with.

Oh, well it's a Nickelodeon show so it wouldn't be on Disney Plus, but I would think Hulu would have it.

Shadow in the Clouds 9/10 (Terror in the skies! Kind of a fairly simple idea, but this one really impressed me.) Monster Hunter 8/10 (Milla Jovovich still kicking butt after all these years. Never played the game, but adaptation made for pretty good action flick.) Raya and the Last Dragon 8/10 (Didn't quite wow me like I thought it would, but still pretty solidly entertaining.) Tom & Jerry 7/10 Scoob 7/10 Greenland 5/10 Chaos Walking 4/10 (Waste of a somewhat interesting premise.) Spark a Space Tail 3/10 Pretty in Pink 8/10 (Don't know how I went this long with never seeing this before.) Mannequin 8/10 (Another cool 80's flick I never saw before somehow.) Mannequin 2 6/10 Happy Gilmore 7/10

Fully vaxed for a little over a month now, never tested, with Moderna.

If you like Muppets, you should check out The Barbarian and the Troll.

BOOM goes the dynmite!

Of course, how could an anime about inventing not include an explanation about how to make what's considered one of Japan's greatest inventions. That being of course instant noodles.

Been looking forward to this for a long time.

Just got done watching the Battlestar Galactica series. The newer one from 2004. Was pretty good. About halfway through I thought it was going to wind up a mess, there were so many things that were going unexplained, but it ended pretty well filling in most of the blanks and The Plan movie helped answer the few questions I was still left with.

We're not dead. This is just a living hell we find ourselves in here. Totally different things. Again... this is a dead board people.

I really want to see this, but I'll wait till I don't have pay for it. I'm not comfortable enough paying to go see it on the big screen yet (just got my first shot the other day) and I'm not paying money to sit and watch it at home. Based on the commercial spots I've seen for it, I'm a bit underwhelmed anyway. That and I guess somehow I just don't think it'll feel like Mortal Kombat without Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa saying

I agree. I'd like to see it remade and the story finished. I actually kind of liked the movie though. I thought it was decent, but I've never read the books and know nothing of the source material really.

Wonder Woman 1984 9/10 Not quite as epic I felt as the first movie, but it had it's moments and was still pretty solid I thought. Also, the short little cameo scene during the end credits was a delight.

Ha ha ha! OMG I can't believe I was actually sort of right last week about his empty head giving him a way to get the drop on Giovanni. That was hilarious. He still managed to bug out though. ::rimshot:: so guess they'll have to swat him down for good the next time.

Uh yes, exactly. Fiction is not a lie. Fiction is just something based on imagination and not reality. Lying is telling somebody something you don't believe is true actually is. It's a conscious effort to spread misinformation. By your logic J.K. Rowling and every sci-fi/fantasy writer are serial liars for daring to commit the act of simply putting pen to paper to try and entertain people.

I thought you were maybe just joking before, but do you really not understand what a lie is and that you're comparing apples and oranges here? A lie has the intention to deceive. Someone writing a fiction novel or something like that does so with the intent to entertain, not to deceive and get people to believe what they are saying is true. Kind of a big difference.

Yes, because fiction writers make it a point to preface to their readers that their works are all 100% the truth and people ought to believe and follow what they say to save their eternal souls.

I just hate lies and liars, and religion as I see it is all based on feeding people made up stories to try and get them to behave according to the rules and beliefs of its leaders. Its purpose is basically the same as government, but it lacks direct power to enforce people to adhere to its tenets nowadays, so it relies upon instilling guilt over bad behavior and fear of punishment in the hereafter to try and influence people's behavior and get them to conform to whatever the desired norm is.
